An operation by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) has hit “more than 40” Russian bombers at air bases “in the rear of the Russian Federation,” a source in the agency told the Kyiv Independent on June 1.

“Enemy strategic bombers are burning en masse in Russia — this is the result of a special operation by the SBU,” the source said.

Video provided by the source shows what appears to be a row of heavy bomber aircraft on fire at an undisclosed location.

    " They snuck into Russia with weapons and carried an embarrassing blow"

    Like us after 9/11?

    " Russia is no super power, it’s no power at all."

    And if that’s true, why do we need NATO? For the group hugs and crying?

    You are spewing the same kind of propaganda the other side says about you.

      Because even a destitute regional power can still bombard your cities, kill your civilians, and occupy your territory if they’re willing to suffer the results.

        How horrible. Is this the only country doing this? Let me guess, when WE do it we have the right reasons?
