The Ukrainians Ushered in a New Era of Warfare
Briefly

Ukraine recently launched a sophisticated and highly effective drone operation targeting multiple Russian airfields, including Olenya and Belaya in remote Siberia. This audacious attack reflected Ukraine's ingenuity and capability to strike effectively when unhindered by Western constraints. Utilizing small drone swarms hidden in trailer trucks, the Ukrainians overwhelmed Russian defenses with precision strikes. Images after the operation suggested Ukrainian forces hit Russian aircraft at their most vulnerable points. The event underscores the rapid advancement in drone technology, with some being autonomously navigated and possibly operated outside human control via AI algorithms.
The attack showed how much audacity, ingenuity, and effectiveness the Ukrainians can bring to their own defense when Western leaders aren't pressuring them to hold back.
The Ukrainians seem to have placed relatively small drone swarms in cavities built into the top of trailer trucks. They flew out, surprising and overwhelming Russian defenses.
Images circulating immediately after the attacks appeared to show that Russian aircraft had been hit with remarkable accuracy at some of their most vulnerable points.
The operation testifies to how rapidly drone technology is evolving, with some drones possibly operating outside human authority, flying preprogrammed courses.
