NAFO Trolls still coping with only 4 Tu-95 bombers damaged are now resorting to posting Arma Video Game clips and calling it video proof of 40 planes damaged

ow go back and rewatch Zelensky in the Oval listening to Trump and Vance hector him about Ukraine’s having no agency or capability absent the U.S. He had this op in mind the whole time.
Ukrainian can't stop coping while Ukros are still dying.
This had no effect on the war, bud. If anything, more Ukrainans will die as a result of this stunt.

Multiple Russian milbloggers are confirming multiple bombers destroyed at 4 different air bases. We have video of over 30 burning aircraft (hard to say what they were because most of them are bbq). Even the great Russian "Fighterbomber" himself is calling it the "darkest day in Russian long range aviation history'.
But FB has his orders and he's sticking to his story!
The best part of this was when we let it slip that we had removed restrictions on long range weapon strikes. Russia panicked and moved all of its bombers to eastern bases away from Ukraine. Right into the "Spider Web" trap.
Absolutely delicious. Cope harder, bitch.

Initial BDA from Ukrainian diplomatic source: "34% of strategic cruise missile carriers were hit, including 27 Tu-95, 4 Tu-160, 2 Tu-22, probably A-50 at the main five airfields in the Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo, Ryazan and Amur regions. Confirmed enemy losses at the Olenya airbase are at least four strategic Tu-95 bombers and one An-12. "
No wonder our resident vatnik is spinning so hard, that is a major loss of strategic air power. WOW.

ISW Update June 1 2025

Key Takeaways:
Ukraine conducted a large-scale and simultaneous series of drone strikes against multiple air bases in Russia on June 1.
Ukraine continues to innovate its drone technology and tactics to achieve operational surprise and successfully target Russian military infrastructure in the rear.
Ukraine's drone strike operation against strategic Russian aircraft may at least temporarily constrain Russia's ability to conduct long-range drone and missile strikes into Ukraine.
Russia will likely struggle to replace the aircraft that Ukrainian forces damaged and destroyed.
Russian officials and milbloggers continue to blame Russian leadership for failing to defend Russian military infrastructure from Ukrainian drone strikes — a widespread complaint throughout the war after successful Ukrainian strikes.
Russian state media and milbloggers attempted to frame Ukraine's strikes against legitimate Russian military targets as undermining Russia's nuclear stability and as grounds for a Russian nuclear response – mirroring the Kremlin's repeated nuclear saber-rattling throughout the war that has aimed to prevent Western support for Ukraine.
Russian officials blamed Ukraine for the collapse of two bridges and subsequent train derailments in western Russia on May 31, likely as part of efforts to justify the recent launch of Russian offensive operations in Sumy Oblast and the Kremlin's disinterest in peace negotiations to end the war.
Russian forces conducted their largest combined drone and missile strike of the war that included over 400 drones against Ukraine on the night of May 31 to June 1.
Ukrainian Ground Forces Commander Mykhailo Drapatyi submitted his resignation following a Russian missile strike on a Ukrainian training unit on June 1.
Russian forces continue to adapt their strike packages in an effort to overwhelm Ukrainian air defenses.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky established a delegation to participate in peace negotiations to end the war as Russian officials continue to flout their own proposed negotiation mechanisms.
Russian forces recently advanced in Sumy Oblast and near Toretsk.

Good to see you checking in
Thanks, while I have not posted I have followed the threat relatively closely on a day to day basis ( thought admittedly in the last several months it has been weekly due to the garbage spam).
It has been interesting to see how the posting has changed over the last 2 or so years since I was a regular poster. Unfortunately it has become severely political as opposed to actually looking at the ebbs and flows of the war from a strategic sense.

The evolution of drone warfare through this conflict has been both interesting and concerning to behold.
The application and implications therein to the civil side, let alone the military, will be massive across the next decade or so.

I think that is partly due to a lack of much movement in the lines; back when war was more fluid, there was much more to discuss. The information space abhors a vacuum.

Agreed, to me that has been the biggest eye opener of this conflict. Wars drive technological advancement and the rise of small drones on the battlefield have been the biggest technological advancement from this war.
It's redefining warfare. When this war started, the use of FPV drones was very limited and only then in reconnaissance roles. Now they are a major weapon that is creating all kinds of problems for defense planning.

If I could find a way to monetize posting on a random forum I sure wouldn't take 2 years off.

I agree whole heartedly - it is very easy to get caught up in the "news" cycle, or lack thereof.

Fighterbomber Debunks Zelensky's Drone Hype
Zelensky is in full PR overdrive after the FPV drone strike on Russian airbases.
Claims of “117 drones” and “34% of strategic bombers destroyed” are classic wartime bluff. Fighterbomber, a seasoned Russian milblogger, breaks it down: most drones didn’t even reach their targets—jammed, detonated mid-air, or missed entirely.
Yes, there were hits—3 Tu-95MS and 1 Tu-22M3 confirmed destroyed at Belaya—but “hit” doesn’t mean “destroyed.”
Ukraine doesn’t manufacture strategic bombers, so even light damage counts as “a win” in their narrative war. Zelensky’s line that “our people are safe” is damage control—some saboteurs fled, others disappeared into civilian cover.
Russian counterintel is now untangling a vast logistics web behind the sabotage, from sourcing drone parts to sneaking explosives across Russia."

Russian troops advanced 15 km in Sumy region — enemy resources
??This was reported by the press secretary of the enemy's 15th border brigade Shevtsov.
??According to him, the Russian Armed Forces also occupied about 6-7 km of territory in depth and continue their offensive.
??He emphasized that Russia's probable goal is to capture the entire region.
??He also added that if Russian troops capture Yunakovka, Sumy itself will be under threat."

Aye, the changes will force current military powers to face a genuine hurdle to overcome in a time when their entrenched systems and platforms are prohibitively cost intensive against the backdrop of cheap options such as drones.
The follow on from there as seeing drones, and by extant the human element, as merely another cog in the machine is a throw back in some regards to WW1. The attrition style warfare seen over the last 2 or so years is for me due in part to the growing use of drones and how much they have impacted movement style warfare.
It also makes me think of the film "Toys" with Robin Williams and the human disconnect we are seeing currently in combat.

I get wanting to ban them regardless of how I might personally feel about it, but its hard to take people who say this seriously who don't also want Cypher banned.
If that applies to you, its about the content being posted and not the fact that it is posted by a "bot" that is bothering you.

This seems to be common with drone operations. Thats why the "We destroyed a (insert big dollar figure) thing with a (insert much smaller dollar figure) drone usually isn't quite correct. Some instances you see like ratios like 30-1 of launches to hits (this was especially true earlier in the war).
I do think Ukraine destroyed more than 4 planes, but I'm not sure its 27 either and definitely doesn't appear to be 40. Like I said in a previous post, the strategic implications will come down to whether or not Ukraine can keep doing this. Given that it took 18 months of planning to execute, they would already have to have the next thing lined up. So does Ukraine have any more tricks up their sleeve, or did they shoot their whole load here?

I don't. Why you ask? The drones had cameras. Ukraine already uploaded right away the video of the planes they hit and damaged. If they hit more planes they would have definitely shared that video. When you combine this with the fact the only Satellite photos released show 4 Tu-95s hit and 1 that does not look damaged that leaves me to my conclusion. Why haven't they released the other videos or Satellite photos? Common Sense would tell you because there is none. Matter of fact, at this point after 24 hrs I would not be surprised if anything released might be fake or manipulated. They released what proof they had shortly after the attack
