It is? Strange, I found it surprisingly easy.

"Strategically it's a big hit but doesn't cripple Russia's strategic bomber fleet." Oh really? If one third of all strategic bombers have been destroyed or damaged what do you call that - a mere inconvenience? "It could've been a lot worse for Russia. Not all attacks succeeded. Seems only 30% got through." Those are incredible numbers. "It won't change what's happening on the ground. Jets hit aren't frontline bombers/attack bombers." Wrong. See attached reply from ChatGPT where I asked it "Were the strategic bombers that Ukraine just attacked used by the Russians in the war against Ukraine?" "This is after all a ground war." This is a ground war, an air war (remember the drones?), a naval war and a cyber war.

TACO and his former friend MAUD. It wasn't meant to be.

Let's agree to disagree on that but one thing is for sure; we will always, always have TACO.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0r1jv0rn0ko "The strategic missile-carrying bombers in question, the Tu-95, Tu-22, and Tu-160 are, he said, no longer in production. Repairing them will be difficult, replacing them impossible. The loss of the supersonic Tu-160, he said, would be especially keenly felt. "Today, the Russian Aerospace Forces lost not just two of their rarest aircraft, but truly two unicorns in the herd," he wrote."

Tactically and strategically this makes it a lot more complicated for Russia to utilize their long range bombers (and other aircraft) for attacks against Ukraine. The reason is that with this one masterful stroke Ukraine has shown that every airfield, military base. production facility in Russia is vulnerable to attack. Russia can no longer just park aircraft on runways even though they're far away from Ukraine. They need to provide hardened shelters or risk losing these highly valuable and (in the short term) irreplaceable assets. This is time consuming and expensive. There, hope that clears things up for you.

Oh dear. First hot flashes and now incontinence?

The more I read about this operation the more my admiration for the Ukrainian forces grow. It was like something out of a James Bond movie. And make no mistake, this is a very serious blow to Putin, militarily and politically.👍 https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/01/europe/ukraine-drones-russia-airbases-intl "The operation, more than a year and a half in the making, involved drones being smuggled into Russian territory and hidden in wooden mobile houses atop trucks, according to the security source. The roofs were then remotely opened, and the drones deployed to launch their strikes. “The ‘office’ of our operation on Russian territory was located directly next to FSB headquarters in one of their regions,” Zelensky said on X."
