  3. Pulling the rotten teeth out of Vlad’s Russia, one by one.

  4. Ukraine used long-range drones to destroy glide bombs and other supplies at a Russian airbase in Volgograd, significantly impacting Russia’s military capabilities.

  5. I was confused by too many words in a sentence in an article title that describes things that happened without critical word order or punctuation

    Business insider needs to hire better reporters :/

    “Ukraine destroys glide bombs at Russian air base”

  6. There’s something about this I don’t understand, and there’s just so much information out there it’s been hard for me to condense it into something I understand. A small group of Ukrainian forces seem to be going full Hannibal Barca on Southwest Russia, and Russian forces are just… ignoring them? It seems like there’s been a token response, but nothing more significant. Why is Russia hesitating to defend its own territory? I get that they don’t want to take forces out of Eastern Ukraine, but doesn’t Russia have other forces they can bring to bear? Is that region just not worth defending? I really don’t understand.

  7. My god I’ve never seen so much redundancy in one run on sentence

  8. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-says-it-destroyed-bombs-in-deep-strike-russian-airbase-2024-8) reduced by 82%. (I’m a bot)

    > Ukrainian forces used long-range drones to attack a key Russian airbase overnight, destroying warehouses that stored fuel, ammunition, and highly destructive glide bombs.

    > Glide bombs are dumb bombs that are equipped with special kits to turn them into precision-guided munitions.

    > Because glide bombs are notoriously tough to stop, the only way for Ukraine to really eliminate the threat is to either shoot down the Russian fighter-bombers before they release the munition or strike the aircraft – and the bombs – on the ground at their airfields.

  9. > Ukrainian forces used long-range drones to attack a key Russian airbase overnight, destroying warehouses that stored fuel, ammunition, and highly destructive glide bombs.

    > The attack targeted the Marynivka airfield in Russia’s Volgograd region, a site actively used to launch aircraft that bomb the front lines, a source in the Security Service of Ukraine told Business Insider on Thursday, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive operations.

    > Glide bombs are dumb bombs that are equipped with special kits to turn them into precision-guided munitions. They are highly destructive (Russia has used some weighing over 6,000 pounds in combat) and are difficult to intercept because they have fairly short flight times, small radar signatures, and travel on non-ballistic trajectories, creating a challenge for air defense units.

    > Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that Russia used more than 750 glide bombs in a single week earlier this month.

    TL;DR

  11. It would be something if Ukraine soldiers/drones infiltrate Moscow

  12. Not that I want this… as I want Ukraine to succeed..

    In terms of drones tech or availability

    Why hasn’t Russia tried to do the same? Unless they have no expertise in how to build it. But I thought Iran was helping to supply it?

  13. Putin has threatened nukes many times in the past. If another country invades Russia.

    Now that Ukraine has done it. No response from Putin.

    Does his nukes even work?

    All joking aside… one would think Russia would send at least one nuke now or another barrage of sonic missiles. But nothing. Has he run out of supplies?

    What a clown job if this is the case.

  14. >Ruussian officials have been saying that the country isn’t ignoring threats in Russia, but have also said that the attacks are a nuisance that doesn’t amount to a serious threat.

    ‘It’s only a flesh wound.’

    ‘I’ve had worse.’

    ‘Worse than losing your arms?’

    ‘Yes, losing my virginity!’

  15. Wouldn’t it be funny if Biden took Kamchetka. After all, it’s the best route into Australia.
