This is big. Correct me if I ma wrong, the Su35 is a more advance jet with radar range longer than the F16 variant that Ukraine has.

Spider web continues. This time drones flew out from the train section that supposedly contains grains. The tanks are using the same train as the grain transport.

All the while drones were next to the trains. How they smuggle there, requires the inadequacy of the Russia intelligence.

Maybe running out of expensive missiles.

Cheap drones from Iran many many.

Apparently, Putin's response is not as terrible as expected. It is bad, but not at a level as he suggested to Trump during the call. While the number of Shahed drones is huge, the number of missiles is lesser than what was in the past when Putin didn't feel the need to escalate.  Ukraine responded with more Russia air bases get droned bomb.

Think this needs more confirmation. 

Destroying the train engine is relatively easy but to actually destroy all ... over 100?.. the vehicles will need dropping ordnance on each individually. 

🤔

Amazing feat still.

With the support of the AWAC plane, the F16 can beat the SU35 in  term of range and detection.

Putin needs to check his toilet carefully before he takes a dump.

A damn drone might just fly up his backside.

Victory to Ukraine. 

:D

First drones snuggled 1.5 years ago.

Only start using last week.

So up to last week no strict checks at the border. 

Could be hundreds. 

:D

They destroyed the locomotive or powered train vehicle first. As it comes to a slow crawl and stop, all the tanks and armoured vehicle it's pulling are sitting ducks, nowhere to run, once the drones are engaged.

russians now have to check every train. 😁

F-16 probably got help from AWACS and NATO Link 16.

Maybe it sneaked up from behind, the SU35 blind spot.

Operation Spiderweb has huge implication. US should be worried now.

Hundreds and thousands of drones parked in Chinese container ships berthed along US ports ?  😁

 

How the US could be vulnerable to the same kind of drone swarm attack Ukraine unleashed on Russia’s bomber fleet

Seoul, South KoreaCNN — 

Ukraine’s shock drone strike on Russia’s strategic bomber fleet this week has generals and analysts taking a new look at threats to high-value United States aircraft at bases in the homeland and abroad – and the situation is worrisome.

“It’s an eyebrow-raising moment,” Gen. David Allvin, the US Air Force chief of staff, said at a defense conference in Washington on Tuesday, adding that the US is vulnerable to similar attacks.

“There is no sanctuary even in the US homeland – particularly given that our bases back home are essentially completely unhardened,” Thomas Shugart, an adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), told CNN.

By “unhardened,” Shugart means there aren’t enough shelters in which US warplanes can be parked that are tough enough to protect them from airstrikes, be it from drones or missiles.

Ukrainian military officials said 41 Russian aircraft were hit in last Sunday’s attacks, including strategic bombers and surveillance planes, with some destroyed and others damaged.

Later analysis shows at least 12 planes destroyed or damaged, and reviews of satellite imagery were continuing.

The Ukrainian operation used drones smuggled into Russian territory, hidden in wooden mobile houses atop trucks and driven close to four Russian air bases, according to Ukrainian sources.

Once near the bases, the roofs of the mobile houses were remotely opened, and the drones deployed to launch their strikes.

The Russian planes were sitting uncovered on the tarmac at the bases, much as US warplanes are at facilities at home and abroad.

“We are pretty vulnerable,” retired US Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Tuesday.

“We’ve got a lot of high-value assets that are extraordinarily expensive,” McChrystal said.

The Ukrainians said their attacks destroyed $7 billion worth of Russian aircraft. By comparison, a single US Air Force B-2 bomber costs $2 billion. And the US has only 20 of them.

Shugart co-authored a report for the Hudson Institute in January highlighting the threat to US military installations from China in the event of any conflict between the superpowers.

“People’s Liberation Army (PLA) strike forces of aircraft, ground-based missile launchers, surface and subsurface vessels, and special forces can attack US aircraft and their supporting systems at airfields globally, including in the continental United States,” Shugart and fellow author Timothy Walton wrote.
