Ukrainian Drone Swarm Attack Marks Grim “Inflection Point In History Of Warfare”
June 3rd, 2025Via: ZeroHedge:
Western Intelligence agencies have long raised concerns over the potential for adversaries to hide and deploy missile systems inside standard shipping containers, making virtually any cargo ship, truck, or rail car an undetectable covert mobile launch platform.
This past weekend, those fears were officially realized when Ukrainian forces launched a fleet of suicide drones deep inside Russia using shipping containers transported by tractor-trailers — effectively bypassing early warning missile defense systems.
The mobility, deniability, and camouflage of these containers made it a nightmare for Russia, with several long-range bombers at various air bases destroyed by $100 drones with warheads.
“Ukraine just mounted an attack that marks a turning point in the history of warfare Hundreds of drones were pre-deployed and then struck 40+ aircraft 1000+ km inside of Russia >$1B in damage by <$1m of drones Critical infra is no longer safe,” Sequoia partner Shaun Maguire wrote on X.
