3/3
In what appears to be an astonishing Ukraine Intel operation, early indications are that they managed to get a lorry full of drones to stop at a gas station near the Russian airfield in Murmansk, after which as this guy says "drones just take off from this Kamaz (truck)"

The second video from the Belaya airfield in Irkutsk region has even been confirmed by the local governor.

It's the first ever successful drone attack on Siberia. Usolye-Sibirskoe is around 5,000km from Ukraine territory.

This all and much more could've happened in 2022 already if the West would've allowed it and helped Ukraine properly.

Russia had so much equipment on airfields close to Ukraine...they could've destroyed hundreds of jets, bombers, helicopters on the ground. Equipment which killed thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and "normal" people the last years. Which destroyed Ukrainian weaponry and which caused billions in damages



Ukraine's drone coalition needs to grow, a lot of funding needs to be put into it, drones are killing soldiers, tanks, ships, aircraft, etc, all at a low cost. You overwhelm Russia with drones and you could take out all their aircraft, beat Russia at electronic warfare and swarm their soldiers with drones, invest in naval drones and take out the rest of their black sea fleet. All without putting soldiers at risk. As sad as it is to say, drone warfare is the future of warfare, the cat is out of the bag, we need to heavily invest in it and Ukraine right now is ahead of us all in the West in it, but they need the funding to expand and we need to catch up anyway. It is very much a mutual partnership.

Yeah we will see drone motherships in the future with hundreds or thousands of drones overwhelming everything. Pretty much like in movies when aliens attack the earth just as smaller versions

Instead of aircraft carriers (or rather, alongside aircraft carriers) we'll probably have drone carriers with massive drones onboard, alongside naval drones that can be launched out, the only thing we're missing is drones capable of taking out submarines but that feels like a matter of when it happens, I also think Taiwan should purchase some Ukraine naval drones.
