An operation by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) has hit “more than 40” Russian bombers at air bases “in the rear of the Russian Federation,” a source in the agency told the Kyiv Independent on June 1.

“Enemy strategic bombers are burning en masse in Russia — this is the result of a special operation by the SBU,” the source said.

Video provided by the source shows what appears to be a row of heavy bomber aircraft on fire at an undisclosed location.

    Nothing Russia has done including (or since) the invasion in 2022 was smart. It was all stupid.

    Russia’s wasted a million soldiers on grabbing a rather small amount of Ukrainian land. They’ve destroyed their own economy, their trade relationships with most of the world, and their demographic future. Take a million men off the streets of most countries and it’s going to crash your population within a generation or two.

      Considering that a specific group of people is doing this, sociopathic and power-hungry, it makes plenty of sense.

      In case of Ukraine they gambled, because they wanted another country under their rule too much.
