I think this classifies as an Eurasian spinoff. Now with possibility for a relaxing drive through thousands of kilometres of nothingness before the trip ends up in fireworks.
SCS already went to the trouble of making a Russian map DLC, and they promptly shit canned it when a certain special military operation started.
Maybe it wouldn’t be too hard to dust it off…
So, does anyone have a news article that explains all this?
Not yet, but compiling all rumors I’ve heard so far: Ukraine drove trucks full of drones to different airbases in Siberia, once there, they managed to access the local phone service to navigate ~100 drones and hit the targets. So it was a perfect coordination of hacking, intel, undercover, drone operation and opsec :D
russian outlets reported:
Russian Strategic Aviation intercepts hundreds of Ukrainian drones.
I’ll keep an eye out for that. Also, apparently the truck drivers were completely unaware of the nature of their cargo.
It’s definitely plausible. I’m not sure exactly what sort of system they use in Russia, but I’d guess truckers the world over are frequently sent to new places with vague instructions to follow once you’re there.
That could also be a wee story, so the Russians will stop looking for someone still in Russia. But I suspect it’s the truth.
Russia had one third of their strategic bombers wrecked by the drone attack. Yes, one third. No, not a typo.
Quick thinking using their bombers to intercept the drones
Siberia, near cola, irkutsk(or does that count as siberia?) and outside moscow…
yeah, looks like they were all over russia, teehee
The paper noted that the US B61-12 air-launched tactical thermonuclear bombs, each equivalent to 300 tonnes of TNT
That’s 300 killotons, not 300 tons. Literal order of magnitude difference.
Edit: several orders of magnitude; a whole new SI prefix is required.
3 orders of magnitude.
The best kind of correct.
