Ukraine Strikes Russian Strategic Bombers at 4 Bases

A Ukrainian drone attack has destroyed more than 40 Russian planes deep in Russia’s territory


“The drones reportedly hit 41 planes stationed at several airfields on Sunday afternoon, including A-50, Tu-95 and Tu-22M aircraft..”




Russia on Sunday launched the biggest number of drones — 472 — on Ukraine since the full-scale invasion in February 2022

“Russian forces also launched seven missiles alongside the barrage of drones, said Yuriy Ignat, head of communications for the air force.”
The <Russian attack> strike occurred at 12:50 p.m., the statement said, emphasizing that no formations or mass gatherings of personnel were being held at the time.

Those airframes are no longer being actively manufactured, so any losses are likely to be irreplacable (same as with the US B-2s).
This is a mortal blow to the bomber portion of the Russian Triad. Personally I expect tactical air to be impressed and more/longer sub sorties. Holy Cr#p.
 
❗️Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State Rubio and discussed the situation related to the crisis in Ukraine. Rubio expressed condolences to Lavrov over the victims of the bombings of railway infrastructure in the Bryansk and Kursk regions, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported

 
Medvedev claims "this is not possible without Western participation. They are the ones that give Ukraine coordinates and hardware. We know where decisions are made, and where those who think they can fight with someone else's hands sit."
Appears to be blaming NATO. But, this is Medvedev. He makes nuclear threats weekly.
