    And they had SF troops there to guide the drones.

    Those two attacks are what triggered the rain of missiles on UKR.

    I’m sure drones could fly low enough to evade radar and pop into Kremlin airspace.

    For a second after the invasion, Orban was shitting his pants that Hungary might be next. And it might not be next or next-next, but it's a coming-soon attraction. Orban doesn't care as long as his power remains intact. Also: Hungary should not be in the EU anymore, it's not very democratic.

    Ukrainian drones hit another Russian air base today, about 60 miles across the border. Looks like they took out a fuel or oil storage tank.

    Maybe it's time to start looking at some targets in Moscow.

    A Ukrainian jet buzzing Red Square at rooftop level at Mach 2 would be all kinds of awesome.

    Until the jet is blown out of the sky by Russian air defenses.
    It's about 280 miles from the Ukraine border to Moscow. A plane has to make it there undetected, and back home once the Russians know what happened and throw everything they have at it. Getting there is the easy part. Even with the questionable state of Russian preparedness, the second part makes it a suicide mission.

    Oh no question, it's a one-way flight, but it doesn't have to be a suicide mission as long as an airstrip is found and extraction of the pilot is set up. It could be the Ukrainian equivalent of Doolittle's Raid.

    At Mach 2 speed a jet could leave Ukrainian airspace and be over Moscow in 11 minutes.
