The "Spider Web" drone operation stunned the world with its audacity, with some keen watchers praising Ukraine for rewriting the rules of modern warfare. And others, like U.S. Special Envoy on Ukraine Keith Kellogg, expressing concern about the tactics.
“When you attack an opponent's part of the national survival system, which is their triad, their nuclear triad — that means your risk level goes up because you don't know what the other is going to do … It's a very emboldened act. And when you do that, it’s very clear that the risk levels will go up. That is what we try to avoid,” Kellogg told Fox News on Tuesday.
Fuck this worthless toady of putin’s tool. Kick ass, Ukraine!
- The thing to remember is that the united states doesn't want a Ukraine victory. Especially now, but even during Bidens time. The USA during Bidens time just wanted russias resources depleted. The USA under trump just wants russia to win, but they can't outright say that.
  
  I don't know which USA you're in, but over here we're all about a Ukraine victory and a stop to the war. Of course, MAGAts are dead confused because the Murdochian/Qanut sludge in their brain is messing with their heart. Those that aren't smart enough to try and be on the grifting side of the corrupt demented rapist regime, that is.
What's he gonna do, start a war of aggression and invade?
It’s hilarious that the new US regime think they’re bringing back a “warrior culture” but their words are quisling.
Incredible how they got to take their time to (presumably) target the areas that would deal the most damage.
Would anyone know what the tyres are doing on top of those planes in the footage?
- Coping
- The idea is to disrupt the visual (and possibly thermal) signature to make automated targeting less effective
- Another article I saw said that they are there for 'protection'. Not sure how effective they would be.
  
  It’s supposed to make it more difficult for autonomous targeting systems to recognize the aircraft:

  I thought it was a ghetto way of hoping a dropped grenade from a drone might bounce off.
  
  This stems from the times when Ukraine used Drones to drop shells/grenades on the planes close to the contact line. The tires are for the planes are what the cope cages were for armored vehicles.
A couple of those drones were near the edge of their battery capacity. Interesting stats.
I kept hoping to see one of the drones fly up an air intake. Perhaps not the best way to damage an aircraft, but goddamn it would be epic to see one blow up from the inside. Sadly, the air intakes are probably also covered while on the ground.

Is Kellogg working part time for Kremlin? It's the same good old "don't provoke Russia by defending yourself, let them have whatever they want".
most likely using palintir.
