    Ukrainians used drones and a complex planned out attack to destroy russia’s military equipment…russia just used a pencil instead!

    Wild picture, that reminds me, did you know that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through a Torpolev Tu-95?

    Already anticipated by the Ukrainians as they wheel out their newest anti-plane drones.

    Fitted with a bouncy ball on the ventral side of the drone to allow for “skipping” into place under the plane prior to upward thrusting.

    Sometimes the charge goes off immediately, sometimes it takes a little floorplay to prime. Preliminary testing has resulted in 9/10 devastated planes and 1/10 hybrid plane/drone offspring with a nuclear family.

    The amazing thing about this to me is these were aircraft worth hundreds of millions of dollars each, parked out in the elements.

    Even without the threat of enemy action, surely that would cause maintenance issues?

      The budget for reinforced hangars is floating in the form of giant yachts around the world

      Hangar space is incredibly expensive in the bulk quantity and size needed for a large air force with some of the largest planes on the planet.

          As far as I know Russia was moving planes around to maybe prepare a bigger operation. Since they can’t build hangars for all planes everywhere they parked them outside. And planes are made to withstand the elements so it’s not so bad for them to stand outside for a while. If the conditions were too bad for long time storage you could just fly the plane somewhere else aswell.

      You could just store them in tarp tents or something. Also, build a bunch of fake tents around, now you doubled or tripled the amount of targets the Ukrainians have to hit.

      But Russians don’t think that way. Maybe, they don’t think at all?

    I think they are trying to protect against those spicy explody drones that keep landing on their cool toys.
