June 1, 202511:29 AM EDTKYIV, June 1 (Reuters) - Ukrainian secret services were able to attack strategic bomber aircraft at Russian air bases on Sunday by hiding explosive-laden drones inside the roofs of wooden sheds, according to a Ukrainian security official and images posted online.
The sheds were loaded onto trucks that were driven to the perimeter of the air bases. The roof panels of the sheds were lifted off by a remotely-activated mechanism, allowing the drones to fly out and begin their attack, the official said.
As a Gen-Xer who remembers living in fear of the Soviet Union killing us all, I clearly remember Ukraine being the big baddie. That's where the brains and the tech of the Soviets came from. It seems that Putin forgot that crucial fact.

It’s crazy, because Ukrainians were treated (as an ethnic group) like absolute shit in the RSFSR (“Russia-proper”, as it was a part of the USSR), and not just as a matter of societal prejudice. There’s a legacy multiple centuries long of Russia brutalizing, ethnically cleansing, and trying to culturally destroy Ukraine. Ukrainians are just to beautifully stubborn to let it stick.

I hope the drone that ends Putler will come out of a wooden toilet shed.
