Completely amazing in every respect: imagination, operational security, planning, and coordination, and results which are strategic, psychological, moral boosting, awesome and inspiring.

This is not Russia’s Pearl Harbor. This is Russia’s Hiroshima—a complete shock that will cause a thoroughgoing reevaluation within Russia. Unfortunately, given Russia’s current leadership there is no guarantee that the sensible conclusion—that it’s time to negotiate a way out of this mess—will be reached.

A disciplined, well-planned operation on Ukraine's part.

So much for trump claiming that President Zelenskyy did not 'have the cards'.

And it is good that the US was not informed about this operation; trump would have told putin in a heartbeat.

Agreed! Although Zelenskyy didn’t have all the cards, he had enough of the right ones to give him a Royal Flush!…:)

Incredible. It will go down in the history books along with the Israeli beeper’s, which exploded; killing over 3,000 Hezbollah operatives. Bravo to Ukraine: Just Brilliant!

On the bright side, I bet a lot of generals and FSB agents are being detained as well as the drivers; it’s going to be McCarthyism in reverse, and no one is safe in Putin’s Russia! If Putin wasn’t paranoid before, he certainly is now!…:)

An amazing operation. I am guessing, how they got the drones on trucks on in Russia will be a main question and is going to make life very unbearable for a lot of Russian people.

Impressive - but please be aware that the second video is pure fantasy "reconstruction" courtesy of a video game or simulator of some description.

As it says itself:

'40 RUSSIAN STRATEGIC Bombers TU-95 Destroyed in Daring Ukrainian FPV-Drone Swarm Raid

'Arma 3 Footage! Not real news!

A remarkable achievement in every measurable respect. Brilliant. Deeply embarrassing for Putin. Interesting to see how he responds.
