This is a nightmare for future planning of our own security. Just roll a cargo container up the coast and you potentially have thousands of suicide drones you could dump into important ports, cities, and naval stations up and down all of our coasts.
Ukraine's audacious drone attack sends critical message to Russia - and the West
The BBC's Paul Adams reflects on the impact of Ukraine's major drone attack on Russian bombers.www.bbc.com
Russia-Ukraine war has begun

If one rolls up the west fork of the white river, into the port of Gosport.
Bravo Unit of the Dream team, has a plan.
I hope our people are in a chat right now about this. The Golden Dome is not a defense to this. We probably need to violate the 4th Amendment to counteract this. A thorough surveillance and combing of every communication in the United States would be a start.
I remember, after the Zelensky blowup with Trump and Vance, saying Z acts like he has an ace up his sleeve. I think this is was it.
Just a brilliant move. Very strategic. I think the Mossad must be consulting with the Ukrainians.
Clearly, the Ukrainians are taking out the infrastructure and supply chain, with the goal that, eventually, Russia simply will not have the ability to supply troops with fuel, arms, and air support. They're playing the long game.

It doesn't even need to be on the coast. Russian truck drivers trucked these things, unknowingly, thousands of kilometers away.
If nothing else, cover these planes with a netting system.
Netting, already proven. Drone #1, poke a hole.
Drone #2, makes a bigger hole and some cosmetic damage
Drone #3, Shit makes a large fire ball due to a russian smoking accident with all drones being intercepted.
When this was proven using AFV's , the AFV travel distance from Drone #1 and Drone #3, was 37 centimeters. I think we can tighten up on that travel distance, probably down to 28 CM with proper planning. JUUUST enough time for the AFV occupants to get right with their lord, but no more than that.
OHHH all 3 drone costs are <$1,200.
I'm already thinking about the 1st redneck that puts a properly approved caliber weapon for hunting, on a drone, to deer hunt. You know it's coming............ If I already have the basic architecture frame work on the work bench, and I'm only invested @ $110, and it fires (doesn't have proper flight controls or video just yet).
Easy fix - multiple layers of netting. 100% of drones launched don't make it through. Not even close.
And the payload of these drones aren't that high powered. Unless they hit a fuel source, they can cause some localized damage, but not enough to blow up a factory.
The point with the Russian planes is, there was NOTHING protecting them because Russia wasn't expecting such an asynchronous attack.
The OSS pioneered these types of attacks.
In my view, this has Mossad written all over it and I don't think this is the last big surprise Ukraine has in mind.
Using "a factory" as evidence of ineffectiveness is well outside the proper measuring stick. Especially if viewed from the lenses of one drone. Or 3 drones even.
The fuel load of a factory, just like a wild land fire, differs from spot to spot. So the option is, 2 drones with forward intelligence of optimum fuel load as a target, or 1,000 drones that simply don't give 2 shits about anything and only 2 need to find THE SPOT while terrifying everyone. Death from 1,000 tiny stings, is death and the other 998, piss themselves when a bee fly's by. .
I think we are there now. NOT from the pentagon, but every god fearing redneck can already do this. Thankfully, Rednecks only stock pile............ Until they don't and when it's already over due for usage.

Supposedly they are out in the open like that because of the SALT treaty. Both US and Russia were supposed to have bombers visible from space.
Only problem is, Russia pulled out of SALT a couple years ago.

I think the psychological damage to Russia is worse than how many planes they lost. There's gonna be a lot of finger pointing. The military doesn't trust the intelligence services and and they don't trust the military. Of course Putin was KGB and will side with the intelligence services.Just how much damage did Ukraine do in its 'Spiderweb' drone attack on Russia?

At least 1 - and reportedly 2 - Russian AWACS were destroyed on the Spiderweb operation. Supposedly they only had 2?
Strategically, I think Ukraine is in a good place. Ukraine drone technology is tops and they're making their own. Russia can't bring down enough long range drones and no place in Russia is safe from them. Cut off enough of Russia's supply chain and their war machine willl grind to a halt. But not soon.
Tactically, Ukraine is getting their civilian infrastructure destroyed without more air defense systems.
Trump's 2 week evaluation of Russia's seriousness is about up.
This is why I have huge doubts that the military would actually launch nukes, if ordered by Putin.
