Damn, is their defense just completely gone at this point? That was the UAV version of running a train If I ever saw it.
Yeah, it isn't being covered globally much because journalists play dumb about war especially to avoid pointing out how obviously the Palestinian Genocide is a Genocide not a War, but the aggressive acceleration in Ukraine destroying russian air defenses is one of the largest if not the largest story of the war.
There is no coming back from it for russia, maybe ever. This is huge and losing air defenses at this high of a rate is a very slippery slope.
Russia concentrated a lot of anti-air units in Crimea. It's a key logistics location and defends the black sea fleet.
Every one of those hits was likely part of a coordinated launch of a hundred drones and decoys. A successful hit makes the next attack easier for a short time. Unsuccessful attacks reveal where the defenses are.
I also suspect that Ukraine has put some radar sniffing sensors on their recon drones. They triangulate the exact location of the radar and then send in a flight to destroy them. Most of the videos recently show successful attacks on active systems.
