Ukrainian attack damaged 10% of Russia's strategic bombers, Germany says
- An attack involving Ukrainian drones over the past weekend reportedly damaged roughly 10% of Russia's strategic bomber fleet near several Russian airbases.
- The attack targeted aircraft, including TU-95 and TU-22 bombers and A-50 surveillance planes, as they were preparing strikes on Ukraine.
- The drones were trained using artificial intelligence and hit airfields around 100 kilometers from Moscow, plus Olenya and Belaya airfields in the Murmansk region.
- German Major General Christian Freuding said, "Only a handful of these aircraft exist," highlighting destruction of more than a dozen planes and the need for increased Russian security.
- Despite losses, Russia retains 90% of its bombers, but will face longer replacements, faster wear of remaining planes, and a psychological impact from the attack.
