Ukrainian long-range UAV UJ-26 “Bober” of the Main Intelligence Directorate attacking a airfield in Adygea, Russia, where large-scale fires broke out this morning. The images also show the action of the Russian air defense
What a lovely sight! It never ceases to amaze me how ineffective Russian air defense seems to be in dealing with these Ukrainian drone attacks.
At first I thought that the Ukrainians merely saturated the area with drones. However, when you see how many drones actually manage to get through and score direct hits on the large ammo dump storage bunkers that were hit in the past week or so, it seems to be something else than just pure saturation of the Russian air defense.

Time to bring the war home to mother Russia

The Russians are beefing up the defense of their facilities with anti-aircraft guns like the Zu-23-2 or the ZPU-2, which, although previously seen as outdated and inadequate for defense against long-range attacks that were previously carried out by jets and cruise missiles, are now very useful against much “slower” long-range drones. Since the Pantsir is expensive and cannot be deployed everywhere, the Zu-23-2 is trying to plug the holes in the defense
(However, Russian defenses are not having nearly the same success against drones as Ukrainian defenses have had, the vast majority of Shaheds do not hit anything, while Ukrainian drones do)

Bobber! _**Bobber!**_
Something about the name just makes me smile.
But I guess the Russians aren’t laughing now.
