Ukraine Drone Strike Exposed Russian Vulnerability, and Sent a Signal to Trump

  • Ukraine's internal security service launched a drone attack on multiple far-flung Russian airfields on Sunday, just before peace talks in Istanbul.
  • The operation, planned over 18 months, involved smuggling 117 drones concealed in mobile homes and sheds placed near key Russian military runways.
  • The drone assault resulted in the destruction or damage of at least 13 Russian aircraft, including rare bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons, such as the A-50 airborne early warning plane and strategic bombers like the Tu-95, Tu-22M3, and Tu-160.
  • Experts characterized the strikes as a precise and impactful attack on Russia’s nuclear triad, with one expert highlighting that the operation “marks a fundamental shift in the nature of warfare.”
  • The attack reduced Russia's ability to threaten nuclear strikes, stirred panic domestically, and gave Ukraine stronger leverage in ongoing but stalled peace negotiations.
