- Asep Haryono | My reaction to a video of "Inside Ukraine’s secret deep strike against Russian bombers-CBC News" - Powered by Blogger
So, I just finished watching a video published on June 3, 2025, by CBC News. It shows Ukrainian drones pulling off a deep strike into Russian territory, and according to the report, they managed to destroy over 40 Russian warplanes.
I mean wow. It felt like watching a real-life version of Behind Enemy Lines. The whole thing was bold, tactical, and honestly, kind of mind-blowing. I just had to share my reaction.
Ukraine’s Deep Strike: A Game-Changer?
Let’s talk about what just happened. Ukraine reportedly launched its longest-range drone attack yet, hitting Russian airbases deep behind enemy lines. Ukrainian officials say they took out more than 40 warplanes in one go.
If that’s true, this could be one of the most significant hits since the war began.How did they even manage that? Drones flying that far into Russian territory without getting caught? That’s next-level stuff. It shows just how far Ukraine has come when it comes to drone tech and strategy. These aren’t your average dronesthey’re clearly built for long-range, high-impact missions.
Not Just a Win A Statement Taking out that many aircraft in a single strike is more than just a win on the battlefield—it sends a powerful message. Russian bombers have been a huge threat, regularly targeting Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. Damaging so many at once? That’s got to slow them down big time.
It also proves something huge: nowhere in Russia is completely safe anymore. Even airbases deep in the rear aren’t off-limits. This might force Russia to move its aircraft even farther back, making logistics and response times a lot harder for them.

Was There Help from Allies? Ukrainian officials say they pulled this off themselves, but let’s be real—many people believe there might’ve been some help behind the scenes. Satellite data? NATO-grade tech? Possibly. Whether it was purely Ukraine’s doing or involved some behind-the-scenes support, one thing’s clear: their military game is getting more advanced every day.
My Take: Impressive but Risky. Honestly, this kind of bold strike carries risks too. There’s always the chance Russia will respond aggressively maybe by hitting civilian infrastructure even harder. The chances of escalation go up. But for Ukraine, this is also a huge morale boost. It shows strength, strategy, and guts under pressure.
Ukraine’s drone strike is more than just a military hit it feels like a turning point. Whether this is a one-time move or the beginning of a new era in drone warfare, one thing’s for sure: Ukraine isn’t backing down. They’ve made a big statement, and the whole world is watching.
What Do You Think?
This video really got me thinking about how fast modern warfare is changing. What’s your take on Ukraine’s drone strike? Was it a smart move? Or a dangerous escalation? Drop your thoughts in the comments I’d love to hear your perspective!
This attack certainly did illustrate the changing nature of modern warfare.
ReplyDeleteI don't see any reason to believe that Ukraine needed outside help to do this. Ukraine is a pretty advanced country in its own right -- it's now the world's leading manufacturer of military drones, for example. Other than the drones themselves, there was nothing particularly high-tech involved in the attack. That's part of why it was so ingenious. A cheap, fairly simple, low-tech plan achieved stunning results, devastating the Russian air force.
The drones actually did not fly all the way from Ukraine to their targets -- that would have been impossible. The distance from Ukraine to Irkutsk is about the same as the distance from Aceh to the middle of Irian Jaya. The drones were loaded into trucks which then drove to locations near the airbases and released them. It's not clear how the Ukrainians got trucks full of drones across the border into Russia, but Russian officials are notorious for taking bribes.
I've seen some suggestions that this will lead to escalation by Russia, but so far there is no sign of that. Russia's attacks on Ukrainian civilian targets are already about as large-scale and brutal as they can be, and they now have a lot fewer working planes to attack with. The only way to really escalate would be to use a nuclear weapon, which would provoke a massive response from the West, and there are good reasons to believe that Russia's nuclear weapons have been so badly maintained that most of them don't even work any more.
It is definitely a morale boost for Ukraine. I'm sure there were many celebrations when the news broke.
Wow, this is such a fascinating breakdown of how modern warfare is evolving! It’s crazy to think how a relatively low-tech, smart strategy like this could deal such a huge blow to a major power.
DeleteUkraine really showed some serious innovation here. Using trucks to sneak drones close to the target? That’s wild. Also, the part about possible Russian corruption playing a role makes the whole operation even more believable.
I agree this is a huge morale win for Ukraine. It’s proof that brains can sometimes beat brawn, even in war. Let’s hope this pushes things closer to peace, not escalation.
