The Economist: “According to sources, the mission was 18 months in the making. Russia had been expecting attacks by larger fixed-wing drones at night and closer to the border with Ukraine. The Ukrainians reversed all three variables, launching small drones during the day, and doing so far from the front lines. Ukraine had launched drones from within Russia previously; the difference was the scale and combined nature of the operations.”

“Commentators close to the Ukrainian security services suggest that as many as 150 drones and 300 bombs had been smuggled into Russia for the operations. The quadcopters were apparently built into wooden cabins, loaded onto lorries and then released after the roofs of the cabins were remotely retracted. The drones used Russian mobile-telephone networks to relay their footage back to Ukraine, much of which was released by the gleeful Ukrainians. They also used elements of automated targeting, the s claim…”

“Western armed forces are watching closely. For many years they have concentrated their own aircraft at an ever smaller number of air bases, to save money, and have failed to invest in hardened hangars or shelters that could protect against drones and missiles. America’s own strategic bombers are visible in public satellite imagery, sitting in the open.”

One for the history books. Brilliant way to poke a superpower in the eyes.
Billions of dollars in damages by a few hundred thousand dollars drones!

Russia in fustration and wickedness will throw it all at Ukraine. I expect another one from Ukraine. Another format of maybe, using minuscule drones (palm size) to ignite things.

The hyping of this drone attack is quite unfortunate.

It will just prolong the war. Russia would likely respond which will not be good for Ukraine.

This war needs to end. Drone attack is not cards. Ukraine don't have any cards to play and every country can conduct drone attack.

Japan lost it's military pride with this kind of stunt on the US - Pearl Harbour attack in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. US responded with nuclear weapons and that was the end of Japan's military might.

The war should end.

America was always greater than the Japanese, ok (the West were out of their leagues to begin with).

The atomic bomb option though a bad one actually saved lives ok.

Take away nukes from Russia and it will be game over for them.

A MORONIC question.

If The Rock grabs you by the neck with the malicious intent to slowly STRANGLE you to death, won't you fight back?

If someone tries to kill you, it is PROGRAMMED into your DNA to fight back. Regardless of whether you'll win or not.

Russia started the war. Russia could lose the war and go back to its normal life as if NOTHING happened. Ukraine does NOT have that luxury.

They have to FIGHT BACK!

By the way, a lot of peope keep acting surprised at the RESILIENCE and Military prowess of Ukraine. That's because a lot of people know NOTHING.

Remove Egypt and Ukraine will SMOKE the COMBINED Military of ALL the countries in Africa at once.

Only about 19 countries in the WORLD are more powerful than Ukraine. And Ukraine has demonstrated the capability to take on ANYONE of those 19 countries by dealing skillfully with a SUPERPOWER like Russia.

Ukraine would have been a superpower if they had not given up their Nuclear Warheads.
But still, they remain a FORCE to be reckoned with.
