So how are we not talking about this? This may be the greatest raid of all time, no exaggeration. When I first heard about Ukraine drones striking air bases that were 4000 km's deep inside Russia, I couldn't believe it. Drones do not have that kind of range. Now that I have read up on the operation I have to say that this operation was brilliant!!! The fact that Russian citizens were complicit in the operation without actually knowing that they were being used as pawns, makes it all the more delicious. This operation was like a cross between a Trojan horse and Doolittle's raid. Drones that cost hundreds of dollars destroyed aircraft that cost millions of dollars. One third of Russia's bomber fleet wiped out in one day, their in flight refueling capability seriously damaged, a nuclear submarine damaged. This raid had it all: balls, brains, and brilliance. I honestly think that whatever Ukraine's highest medal is is not nearly enough for whoever put this together. A new one should be created. A new one that stands alone. This is the type of operation that drastically changes warfare, and renders platforms obsolete. This is like blitzkrieg, Pearl Harbor, and Hiroshima all rolled into one. I am an old man and I can honestly say that I have never seen anything this brilliant and earth shattering in my lifetime. Well done Ukraine!!!

Yea, not much here, but other places this is big news.
For centuries, when Russia takes over a place, they force everyone to speak Russian. That means that everyone they have pissed off speaks their language. So blending in is easy. But it doesn't work the other way, as Russians refuse to speak Ukrainian.
It was a brilliant maneuver. It will go down in warfare history not only as the best trojan since Troy, but for the first use of AI on the battlefield.
Zelenski took out more Russian nuclear bombers in 1 day than they US ever has. Did JD say "Thank you" even once?

Couldn't have said it better myself. This will absolutely go down in the annals of military history as an all time legendary operation.
