"Ukraine's Drones Target Russian Military in Major Strikes"

Ukraine launched a large-scale drone attack on a Russian airfield, targeting fighter-bombers capable of dropping devastating glide bombs, claiming to have destroyed six fighter bombers and significantly damaged eight others. Russia, however, disputed the extent of the damage. The success of the offensive counter-air operation remains unclear, as satellite imagery showed little visible damage to the base and aircraft. Ukraine's targeting of Russian aircraft capable of using glide bombs is significant, as these weapons have been used to devastating effect by Russia in recent months. Ukraine's air defense network is stretched thin, and President Zelenskyy has emphasized the urgent need for more air-defense systems to defend against Russian attacks.
