Russia gets a poke in the eye from Ukraine Posted by greenman on June 2, 2025, 6:14 pm Valued Poster Nicely done... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/02/operation-spiderweb-visual-guide-ukraine-drone-attack-russian-aircraft A Ukrainian drone attack has destroyed billions of dollars worth of Russian aircraft stationed at bases across the country, including at locations as far away as Siberia, in what Kyiv claims is its longest-range assault of the war. The spectacular operation, known as Spiderweb, was prepared in secret over 18 months. Ukraine’s agents moved short-range drones and explosives inside Russia before they were launched remotely for a coordinated strike on Sunday that was intended to strike at Moscow’s air superiority.Vasyl Maliuk, the head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), said drones were smuggled into Russia and placed inside containers, which were later loaded on to trucks. With the trucks positioned near Russian bases, the roof panels of the containers were lifted off by a remotely activated mechanism, allowing the drones to fly out and begin their attack. The drones had first-person view, or FPV, technology that allowed them to be operated remotely, probably from Ukrainian territory. The pictures are clear and very pretty.. -greenman

Brilliant! US and MAGA left out of the loop until after the fact Posted by Pikes Peak 14115 on June 2, 2025, 7:12 pm, in reply to "Russia gets a poke in the eye from Ukraine" ADMIN Because the Ukrainians knew MAGA could not be trusted to know anything.

they would have blabbed it all over the place Posted by Trish on June 3, 2025, 11:10 am, in reply to "Brilliant! US and MAGA left out of the loop until after the fact" Admin and then try to take credit for success

MAGA losing their minds over strike into Russia! Posted by greenman on June 2, 2025, 6:50 pm, in reply to "Russia gets a poke in the eye from Ukraine" This is too funny...Bannon and other pro-Putin traitors are screaming their pointy heads off... https://www.axios.com/2025/06/02/trump-ukraine-drone-operation-maga MAGA influencers warned of dark forces at play — and the risk of dangerous escalation — as Ukraine celebrated a historic drone operation targeting Russia's bombing fleet. Why it matters: President Trump has not publicly commented so far on Ukraine's stunning "Spiderweb" operation, in which more than 100 drones infiltrated air bases deep inside Russia and destroyed nuclear-capable bombers. MAGA's alarm over Ukraine's attack — and comparative silence when Russia targets Ukrainian civilians — underscores the movement's deep skepticism of the Western-backed government in Kyiv. While Trump seeks to present himself as a neutral mediator trying to bring broker peace, large swathes of his base see Ukraine — not Russia — as the enemy. Driving the news: Ukraine's successful operation, which took 18 months to covertly plan, delivered a major strategic coup in a war that has otherwise been mired in stalemate and trench warfare. As Ukrainians and their allies praised the breakthrough, some MAGA influencers expressed suspicion and anger that Kyiv had not informed Trump about the operation ahead of time. At best, MAGA treated the attack as counterproductive to nascent peace talks; at worst, they feared an attempt by Ukraine and American "Deep State" actors to drag the U.S. further into the conflict. State of play: Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have failed so far to persuade Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire. Peace talks at the staff level have yielded little progress beyond prisoner swaps. Top Trump administration officials — including the president himself, at times — have warned that the U.S. could walk away from the conflict completely if talks do not advance. What they're saying: Pro-Trump influencer Jack Posobiec speculated on Steve Bannon's "War Room" Monday about whether the Biden administration could have been involved in the operation, given that planning began 18 months ago. "Seems very much on the interior of Russia. I sure hope America had nothing to do with it," said Charlie Kirk, a top MAGA activist with close White House ties. Kirk and other traitors bear watching.. -greenman

This is a game-changer in Ukraine Posted by greenman on June 2, 2025, 7:15 pm, in reply to "MAGA losing their minds over strike into Russia!" https://www.yahoo.com/news/operation-spiderweb-ukraine-destroyed-over-210142553.html [i]Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) reported on Sunday that over a third of all Russian missile carriers have been hit in a coordinated drone attack aimed at different airfields in Russia located thousands of kilometres apart. More than 40 aircraft are known to have been hit, including the A-50, Tu-95, and Tu-22 M3, causing overall damage of more than €6 billion. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said "Operation Spiderweb" had made "an absolutely brilliant result" which was "achieved solely by Ukraine."[/i] Certainly no help from pro-Putin Trumpsters.. -greenman

Why the HELL Posted by greenman on June 2, 2025, 7:18 pm, in reply to "This is a game-changer in Ukraine" Valued Poster ...are you unable to put a message in italics or boldface when you edit it? God I hate that. -greenman

Editing requires you to use html formatting < > rather than BBCode formatting [ ]. Posted by Sia on June 3, 2025, 12:37 am, in reply to "Why the HELL" ADMIN The letters and additional / to end the process are the same, but the enclosure codes are different for each process. When done in the original post using the shortcuts at the bottom, it automatically uses the [ ] enclosure of BBCode. When editing, you must use the html code < > closure instead. You can use manual html codes for posting too, but must use html code for edits.

You can by manually entering the code Posted by Pikes Peak 14115 on June 2, 2025, 7:46 pm, in reply to "Why the HELL" I am roflmafa that NOBODY in the felon administration was aprised about this attack before the fact. Zelenskyy learned all he needed to know about the felon and his entourage during his WH visit. Argyle told William Wallace, eyeing his sword, "Before I teach you to fight with this (tapping his sword), I will teach you to fight with this (tapping his noggin.). Trump, Putin, and Musk all fight with their "little guns." You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony
