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.

    I don’t care for comparisons, but the comparison to 9/11 is not really accurate.

    This is a war between neighbouring countries, one of which calls itself a super power, yet has not only completely failed to achieve it’s goals, it has depleted itself doing it. It has practically destroyed all it’s weapons, which were before the war thought of as limitless, it has reduced it’s gas pump economy to ashes, it has destroyed it’s status and already lost it’s sphere of influence in Syria and elsewhere and … wings wheel above in silent loops… If you know what I mean.

    NATO is of course needed beyond Russia, stupid question. Plus Russia still has nukes, which would be safer if Russian state somehow survives this war.

    What I’m saying is no propaganda, just a very very sober assessment of the current situation.

    Russia has lost immediately when it was clear, that it cannot take Ukraine. It’s perceived status as a super power went down the drain and nobody is taking it seriously anymore. It cannot project power, it cannot hold a sphere of influence.
