In a brilliant and daring raid Ukraine destroyed 40 Russian strategic bombers and other high-value aircraft. Over the past 18months, Ukrainian forces parked semitrailers with hidden drone compartments near Russian air bases.
With a coded signal, the top of these parked trailers opened and swarms of attack drones flew toward unprotected Russian aircraft. In minutes, the drones began hitting vulnerable points on the bombers turning them into flaming pyres of wreckage.
More than a billion dollars in irreplaceable aircraft were destroyed by about a million dollars worth of cheap drones.
The owner of the house I stayed in during the past year in Panama followed the War in Ukraine on video every day. He is a former rocket engineer who knows the technology. I called him today to share all the happiness and excitement of watching Ukraine kick ass.
We both had watched Russia's recent attacks on civilians in Ukraine with increasing alarm and sadness. It was wonderful to see Ukraine strike so effectively.
Слава Україні
Glory to Ukraine!
