Ukraine says at the least 40 Russian warplanes hit in large drone strikes

Ukraine claims to have hit greater than 40 Russian warplanes at a number of navy airfields, in what seems to be one of the vital audacious drone assaults to this point on Russian aviation.

In line with a press release from Ukraine’s safety service, SBU, “enemy strategic bombers are burning en masse in Russia”.

The SBU says Ukraine is conducting “a large-scale particular operation aimed toward destroying enemy bomber plane.”

Dramatic footage has emerged purportedly displaying a drone assault at Belaya airbase in Irkutsk oblast, Siberia, 1000’s of miles from Ukraine.

Russia’s navy has not commented on the difficulty.
