  1. This is such a great story. The Russians will now have to develop and maintain an entire system of cops to track cargo moving in trucks.

  2. In Russia, 1st of June is the Military Transport Aviation Day, a celebration haha.

    Ukraine just bombed their bomber and transport fleet on their own holiday!

  3. this is what happens when you start a war with a democratic country💪🇺🇦

  5. Well Ukraine has now crossed all available red lines.

    What will Putin do? How will he respond?

    My bet is that while we gloat about this (well deserved) NATO and EU leaders are in emergency meetings.

  6. Reading snippets of demoralized Russian telegraph channels is almost as satisfying as waking up to videos of Russian planes being torched. The gift that keeps giving

  10. The best part is Ukraine released the videos of operation immediately so Russia could not propaganda cleanse the hits. Sorry Putler one video showed 4 bombers being hit and most likely destroyed two and two basically turned into parts planes

  12. Can you imagine being the pilot of these drones? Your heart would be beating like 200 times a minute, perfect focus, and then pure elation as these things just go up in flames and smoke.

    I guarantee that they’ve been rehearsing this and probably practicing it for months.

  13. I saw the smoke from murmansk from the top of my moutain. Very satisfying.

  15. From the looks of it those bombers where far from ready to be flying capable? Russia talking big about being able to launch/drop nukes in a instant.

    The boom (petrol fuel or something) should have created a much bigger flame.
