Ukraine Hid FPV Drones in Trucks Near Russia’s Bomber Base — Then BLEW It Up

Ukraine launched a surprise FPV drone attack on Russia’s Olenya Air Base, striking Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 strategic bombers from trucks hidden just kilometers away. The coordinated Ukraine drone strike also targeted an A-50 aircraft, Russian air defenses, and key support vehicles, throwing the bomber base into chaos. Instead of flying more than 2,000 kilometers from Ukraine, the FPV drones were smuggled into Russia in separate parts, assembled locally, and launched from three concealed trucks near the airfield. One group distracted Pantsir and Tor air defenses while the others trapped Russian bombers on the apron and attacked before they could escape. The raid exposed a serious weakness in Russia’s strategic air-base security: long distance no longer guarantees protection from Ukrainian drone attacks. 00:00 Ukraine’s FPV Drone Attack on Olenya Air Base 03:12 Drones Hidden in Trucks Close In on Russian Bombers 06:41 Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 Bombers Are Hit 10:24 FPV Drones Strike Russia’s A-50 Aircraft 13:27 Olenya Air Base Falls Into Chaos 15:11 Why Russia’s Bomber Bases Are No Longer Safe #ukrainewar #russiaukrainewar #military #defencenews #modernwarfare
