The Ukrainian offensive comprised 117 FPV drones (First Person View), which were secretly transported close to the bases. The operation was in preparation for 18 months and shows the strategic planning of Ukraine, which has now demonstrated several of its attacking skills. According to estimates by the Ukrainian secret service SBU, 40 fighting and reconnaissance planes in Russia were destroyed by this surgical success, including important models such as the Tupolew TU-95 and TU-22.
