>Drones operated by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) struck five Russian fighter jets overnight on Aug. 4 at an airfield in Saky, a city in Russian-occupied Crimea, the agency said.
>Ukrainian drones, in a Special Operations Center "A" mission, destroyed a Su-30SM aircraft, damaged another, hit three Su-24s, and struck an aviation weapons depot.

defending against drones is impossible, isn't it?

It is if you are a corrupt shithole.

Sucks to be Russia, I guess.

wtf, that's like right outside the border
i thought russians relocated their assets long ago

if america has a single plane's paint job scratched in a drone attack, we'll never hear the end of it

This is the most crazy part. One would think that loosing 1/3 of your irreplaceable strategic bomber fleet would send people running to prevent anything nearly similar - nets, tents, sheds, maybe... just maybe even hangars? Nah.. surely they wouldn't try it again? Lets just Shaded spam civilian commie blocks, threaten to nuke London and hope that does it.

member when iran got a missile to hit some sand near a israeli air base and the browns shouted about 24 lost f35s on the ground? it'll be that for weeks

you say that but in reality it's the opposite

The US can afford to replace those aircraft. Russia cannot.

what next, Independence war gotchas?

>>64075808 (OP)
I was wondering what all the shills were so mad about

>>64075867
>mothballed bombers
You make it sounds like it's Ukraines fault Russia has no modern aviation.
No way it's due to corrupt, authoritarian regime that shits on the country and people, ready to kill it in unnecessary war just to stay in power for their last few commie deluded years.

lolno, those dachas and yachts do not buy themselves

I bet at some higher level of reporting that is exactly what the briefing to Comrade Chairman Governor said.

I'm guessing russia won another city.

>>64075867
poorly maintained and decrepit =/= mothballed. They were still using them (but not any longer !)

>>64075948
>t.

At this point, Russia would be served better by just buying a shitload of JF-17s from China so they can have an operational airforce thats not 30 years out of date and using vacuum tubes.

When you're Russia? Yes.

>>64075867
>US loses planes to enemy attacks in the enemy territory since rules of engagement prevent you attacking anyone on the ground just because they are suspicious
>Russia loses its aircraft on its OWN land despite their rules of engagement being able to engage civilians completely free
There's no excuse for the "second" power in the world to lose aircraft in a war against the poorest nation in Europe. Especially given Russia's claim to AA tech and radar.

>>64075867
>a couple of mothballed bombers
What a funny way to say "a quarter of Russias active strategic bomber fleet".

>footage of the same 2-3 hits gets spammed every day for months on end
Yes, that's what zigger shills always do. Ukraine menawhile has no need for such antics, given the amount of hits they regularily score. Nice projection, ziggie.

>>64075961
That would be an overt admission of failure that monke cannot do

>>64075948
You try this every time. Every time footage comes out afterwards. How the fuck have you subhuman retard not cottoned onto the pattern by now?

>>64075948
Lets assume they were SU-34's, at $36m each, five of them is $180m. If you think a 'city' (pre-war population, 1026) is worth $180m, you're retarded. Especially since a lot of cities are financial drains and the only real beneficial ones are economic centres like New York or capitals like Washington DC.

The war being totally unprofitable for Russia is something people don't see to understand. If you told Putin in January 2022 that he'd lose thousands of tanks, hundreds of aircraft, helicopters and thousands of APCs and IFV, several ships and a submarine he'd defenestrate you on the spot.

In fact, there was an article in December 2021 iirc that stated that the projected losses for Russia were about 14,000 soldiers and 300 tanks. With both numbers being completely unacceptable to the public and Putin. We've passed those by an order of magnitude.

More like russia took a hamlet of 3 shacks for the cost of a city's worth of ziggers.

is this like when they said that they destroyed 11 tu 95s while in the end it was only 2?

>>64076493
>only 2
Decoys, even.

>>64076626
Not to worry, comrade mighty rasha didnt need them anyway )))

>>64076651
>2 decoys (that they didnt even need) in exchange for killing 5 zeleskyi and capturing 4 HATO generals
At this rate the piggies will be creaming on russian cock in a forthnight

>>64076665
Comrade! You have not mentioned the 36 Boris Johnson cloming facilities captured in that operation! Surely you are misremembering and not denigrating grorious puccian armed self defense forces of peace and unity!

My god, this is the biggest "WE DIDN'T NEED THEM ANYWAY" cope ever

>>64075808 (OP)
Getting five of their Garmin GPS receivers for fishing destroyed truly is a terrible loss.

>>64076626
And the footage was clearly taken from Close Combat: Invasion: Normandy.

>>64075808 (OP)

ugh..

russia weak
2 more weeks
nato strong
slava ukraina

>NOOOOO YOU NEED TO LET ME SHILL MY FAGGY NARRATIVE IN DEFENCE OF RUSSIA
cry about it, faggot.

>>64075808 (OP)
Remember early on in the war when Russia kept putting their ammo dumps in the craters left behind by multiple previous iterations of the same ammo dump that got got?
I have seen no evidence to suggest that they ever learned anything, and this is further proof of that.

>>64075808 (OP)
reports are
3 destoyed su24s and 1 destoyed su30 and one damaged su30

Ukraine’s Security Service struck an airfield in Saky in annexed Crimea overnight on Monday, hitting five fighter jets, which Russia uses for its regular attacks on Ukraine.
Five Russian fighter jets have been hit in an overnight drone attack by Ukraine’s security service at an airfield in Saky in Russia-annexed Crimea.

SBU stated that its Special Operations Centre "A" mission’s drones destroyed one SU-30SM aircraft, damaged another and hit three Su-24s while also striking the aviation weapons depot.

"The successful special operation carried out by the SBU in Saky marks another step toward weakening the enemy's capacity to wage its war of aggression against Ukraine," security service said.

Su-30SM is a twin-engine, two-seat multirole fighter aircraft developed by Russia, with production beginning in the early 2010s. This fighter jet is priced between €30 and €43 million.

The Russians lost all credibiliy already at the start of the war. These guys literally claimed 200 Ukrainian casualties at hostomel and 0 russians killed. At the same time as we were watching dead VDV all over the place.

Yet they still expect to be taken seriously.

>>64079203
Does Russia still produce SU-24s? Best as i can find they are only producing SU-30/34/35/57s

>>64079417
>Does Russia still produce

>>64079417
They obviously don't but
>Russian Aerospace Forces – 260 as of 2025
It's not like they are low on them.
