Very kind of them to provide us with some many recordings of their air defense and the hit. Different angles, too
Supposedly some Il-76 transport planes were damaged
That would be awesome, they don't have too many of these
Serious question, what do they have in spades in terms of aircraft? If you were trying to make your attack as impactful as possible, which planes would you deprioritize as targets if you had perfect intel and opportunity?
At about $50m each, that's up to $200m in damage. Tack on the specialized radar, missile systems, and five (?) fighter jets Ukrainians hit in the last few days... just these hits have probably cost the Kremlin well over half a billion dollars in the last week.
Daaamn, that last video. Something serious is on fire.
Fuel depot, I bet.
I'm excited Ukraine is developing a strategy that is working for them. Autonomous drones are the inevitable next step imo, ai chips are getting cheaper and cheaper. For example, you give a swarm a set of targets and it knows exactly what it needs to do to reach the target and exactly where to hit, release thousands of them and train a model that can run on cheap, low power hardware and boom you have a serious, serious problem if even 1% of them are successful because they'll be functional entirely on their own offline. Add onto that they use off the shelf hardware and it becomes nearly impossible to blame anyone for any given attack.
