Here we go again-Ukraine once again pt2

[Dargo]

Pro-Russian bloggers on social media are also reporting the attack, sharing images of burning Tupolev-22 and -95 bombers. These are Russian nuclear bombers. One of the targets was the Belaya airbase near Irkutsk, in Siberia. That is over 4,300 kilometres from the front line in Ukraine. This attack would therefore be the most distant place Ukraine has struck. Strategic bombers were also hit in northern Murmansk, some 2,500 kilometres from the front line, local officials report. It is from this airbase that Russian Tu-95 strategic bombers take off to strike Ukraine. This was a hugely ambitious SBU operation. According to people familiar with the attack, codename “Spiderweb”, it was planned more than a year in advance and “personally supervised” by Zelenskyy. It used dozens of FPV drones armed with explosives that were smuggled into Russia.

My navy loses a fleet of ships to a country without a navy.
My air force loses 40+ bombers in a morning to a country without an air force
My army controls less of Ukraine now than it did 3 years ago.

But we're winning. https://x.com/DarthPutinKGB/status/1929153046358941898

The number of destroyed TU-95 bombers has reached 27 of the reported 40-47. This is incredible, and these planes cannot be replaced (They were built in Ukraine). And tomorrow there will be no deal Ukraine will walk like a boss they just spit in the face of Putin.

Great news indeed Dargo. Now I wonder: How many of these bomber planes do Russia have ? I can see on wiki that Russia have 47 TU 95m

We will see this week if they have lost 50% of their strategic bombers.

In one of the Danish article it was written-The Russian response will come no doubt about it-The question is how massive.

I hope there will come more of these Ukrainian attacks in the near future

Ukraine does the right thing-Going after military stuff. What is needed to get the ordinary Russian to turn their aggression against Putin ? As I see it a massive attack on civilian targets in Moscow and St. Petersburg-Which I do not like at all.

Oh, they now gone strike back big time? Like past strikes were not massive enough, nightly they have X amount so that are being used with... no effect it is not that Ukraine suddenly bends the knee when 400 are being used that amount is their new normal night. Ohoh they mass 50,000 at that or this location, boy now Ukraine gone be hurt. NOT! Russian will walk against a 3 layer defence, good luck with that meat grinder. And a happy 1st June aviation day.

Special operation "Pavutyna," in which SSU hit 41 Russian strategic aircraft, was prepared for over year and half.

The President of Ukraine, Supreme Commander-in-Chief Volodymyr Zelenskyy personally supervised the operation. The plan was implemented by Vasyl Maliuk and the SSU team.

This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to sources.

According to our sources, this operation was extremely complex from a logistical point of view. The SSU first sent fpv drones to Russia, and then mobile wooden houses. Later, on the territory of Russia, the drones were hidden under the roofs of the houses, which were already placed on trucks. At the right time, the roofs were remotely opened, and the drones flew to hit Russian bombers.

We have unique photos that show how the drones were prepared for an attack on military airfields.

Sources in the SSU emphasise that the people who took part in this historic special operation have been in Ukraine for a long time. Therefore, if Putin's regime detains someone for show, it will be another production for the domestic audience.

Earlier it was reported that the SSU was massively attacking Russian airfields. More than 40 aircraft, including strategic bombers, are known to have been hit. Source: https://censor.net/en/p3555482

Explosion occurs in Severomorsk, Russia: nuclear submarine base is located there

On Sunday, June 1, a strong explosion occurred in Severomorsk, Murmansk region of Russia.

This is reported by the Russian Telegram channel Astra, citing other Russian publics, Censor.NET reports.

As noted, Severomorsk is home to the largest base of Russian nuclear submarines.

Astra also published a video showing the sounds of explosions. The report added that the video was not of Severomorsk, but of the city of Olenegorsk in the Murmansk region.

SSU operation in Russia
Today, the Security Service of Ukraine is conducting an operation to destroy aviation in Russia. It was personally led by the SSU Head Vasyl Maliuk. As a result of the operation, more than 40 enemy aircraft were downed.

Earlier on June 1, Russian Telegram channels reported explosions in the Olenegorsk district of the Murmansk region. Near this area is the Olenya air base, which houses strategic bombers used for attacks on the territory of Ukraine. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3555483

Drones are the nightmare of this war, for all sides. Earlier this year the SISS estimated that Ukriane has 10-12 thousand drones of all types in operation, Russia 15-20 thousand. Often the Ukrainian drones initially feature new innovations owed to improvisation and need, which then get copied and latwer surpassed by Russia. Russia on the other hand has a far bigger mass production basis, thats why SISS estimated further that the numerical lead of Russian drones over ukrainian drones in combat will constantly grow, helped by the fact that Western chips and high tech components still find their way into the Russian military production, and in significant, probably production-deciding quantity (I'm not impressed there, dear West...).

Impressive operation carried out by Ukraine with their limit means there. Probably stuff for a later movie. The plane losses add to the Russians' itching, but it will not stop them, I fear.



Civilian Ukraine will become an even bigger targets for the wrath of the emperor. Its beyond doubt that there will be retaliation. And we know the Russian target preferences.

The way the drones were brought in and prepared reminds me of a scene from Daniel Suarez' novel "Kill Decision. In it, autonomous drone swarms with swarm intelligence get transported via commercial shipping containers, on merchant freighters. When the time had come, the containers released the drones from these merchants , and the drone swarm then vicously attacked and wiped out military navy fleets and land targets, striking completely surprisingly while sailing unsuspiciously to closest vicinity with their targets. Somethign along this idea, if I remember correctly, its a long time ago I red the novel.,

The novel was written 2011 and 2012.



Drones will bring us plenty of fun in the future. I fear we have just seen the tip of the iceberg so far.

Yes you may well be right

[Dargo]

Ukraine launched another large swarm of suicide drones against Russia moments ago they are hitting military and strategic targets in Voronezh, Bilhorod, Rostov, Kursk, Lipetsk, Tula, Moscow regions and beyond.

^ I was on the way to write a comment in which I would write-Ukraine have done great in yesterdays attack, hope they will continue this fine strike-Then you post it-Wonderful.

Edit
Torsten say something interesting in the end of his video.

Ukraine has relativized the success of its attack yesterday. Where initially it was said 40 bombers had been destroyed, the presidential palace and sources close to Zelenskyi now say that 40 planes of all sorts had been attacked, 13 of which had been destroyed, and several others damaged. It is estimated that Russia has lost around one third of its strategic bombers. These were once build in - Ukraine, Russia cannot easily replace them. It ultimately will - but it will need time.

Still an impressive operation. But - there is always a but - none you can pull out of the magician'S cylinder hat on the fly. They say it took them one and a half year to plan ahead. And while the success is still impressive, it is not that monumental big success that intially was claimed it is.

Sorry, but I cannot stop being sober. It will necessarily alter the way Russia's aerial attack schemes, but it will not decisively influence the war. I doubt it will bring Putin under decisive domestic pressure either.

The urkainic attack must also ring alarm bells for the USA and Europe. Undetected drone activities are being reported all over Germany near critical infrastructure and military bases, and the Bundeswehr is largely powerless to stop them; the same applies to other parts of Europe and on the open sea. What Ukraine has done to Russia, Russia can do to us.
