Ukraine just changed war forever in what’s being called the “greatest special operation of all time”. This could be the atomic bomb event of our lifetime, as in there will be a very clear before or after point in history because of this. Yesterday, Ukraine destroyed 34% of Russia’s strategic bombers in a drone attack unlike any other. They did this by putting drones in shipping containers for wooden kit houses and then shipping them to areas near four airbases. Then when they activated it, the roofs of the containers opened and the drones flew out and hit the Russian bombers. It’s being said that the drones were controlled by AI rather than a person, but the Pentagon says it’s unsure. There was no air defense to shoot them down because typically you don’t have anti-air systems at an air base 3,000 miles into your own country. These drones are said to only cost around 4,000 each, to the untrained eye they look like a DJI drone that TikTokers use. The containers then self-destructed after all the drones had launched. Outside of the fact that Russia is going to have a harder time killing Ukrainian civilians, this is about as rough of a psychological attack as you can get. Imagine being a Russian leader right now – Every single shipping container in your country could be a weapon and every highway that they travel on is now a threat vector. You’re going to have to inspect all containers now, you’ll have to screen all drivers, you’ll have to monitor internal roads. This is going to slow down their supply chain to a grinding halt. Now people have been calling this a pearl harbor kind of attack but Ukrainians are pushing back on that characterization saying this wasn’t a nefarious sneak attack in an undeclared war. Others say Battle of Midway is a more appropriate comparison.
