Ukraine reveals the details of the drone attack on the airports in Russia
According to the Ukrainian information portal Glavcom.ua, citing Kiev's services, it was one of the most difficult special operations in terms of logistics. First, FPV drones were illegally smuggled into Russia, and then mobile wooden houses.
In the Russian Federation, drones were hidden under the roofs of these constructions, placed on trucks. At the right time, the roofs were remotely opened, and the drones headed towards their goals – strategic bombers at military airports.
As Gazeta.ua adds, the operation was prepared for a year and a half, and the action was personally commanded by the head of SBU, General Wasyl Maluk.
