Tel Aviv: Ukraine’s drone attack on June 1 deep inside the Russian territory provides the ultimate proof to the major role of drones in warfare. Experts opine that the wide use of drones and new development efforts will have a massive effect on the way military conflicts will look in the future.
Images from an Israeli imaging satellite taken on June 4 show the results of Ukraine’s attack on the Russian Belaya Air Force Base. This intelligence report has been made by Israeli company ImageSat International (ISI) who operates the imaging satellite.
Armed drone operators struck 41 Russian strategic bombers, including A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft and Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 strategic bombers – fixed-wing aircraft that Russia uses to detect Ukrainian air defences and launch cruise missiles against Ukraine.
Ukraine’s June 1 operation targeted aircraft that Russia uses to launch cruise missiles against Ukraine and airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) systems that Russia uses to identify Ukrainian air defence systems and coordinate Russian fighter jet targeting.
