Kremlin’s Funeral Flight: Ukraine’s Drones Just Lit Up Putin’s Air Force

 

President Zelensky just torched over 40 Russian warbirds—Putin’s airshow of terror is grounded, and karma finally took flight with Ukrainian wings. Without putting it in so many words, Zelensky’s drone attack proves that tyrants bleed too—Putin can’t bomb Ukraine if his own bombers are toast.

 Looks like Putin’s prized bombers just got ghosted—by drones that don’t knock before they strike. Earlier today, Sunday, June 1, 2025, Ukraine pulled off the kind of military masterstroke that would make even the ghosts of Sun Tzu and Napoleon give a standing ovation. Over 40 Russian military aircraft—yes, not one, not ten, but over forty—were turned into flying fossils in a precision drone attack deep inside Russian territory. The operation was so clean, so calculated, and so devastating that I can say it with pride: Well done, Ukraine! Great job, President Zelensky! You just taught Putin what happens when you play war games with the wrong nation.

Now let’s be clear: this wasn’t some spontaneous act of retaliation. This operation took a year and a half to plan. It was led by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy himself, who continues to prove that courage, intelligence, and the will to win are not things you can manufacture in a Kremlin propaganda lab. The drones used in this attack weren’t flying off a joystick from a Kyiv basement. No—they were carefully transported inside truck-mounted wooden cabins, driven deep into the Russian heartland, and launched with the surgical precision of a neurosurgeon. The targets? High-value military assets: A-50 radar aircraft, Tu-95 long-range bombers, and Tu-22M3s—Putin’s favorite tools for raining terror on Ukrainian cities.

You want to talk damage? Try five separate airfields—Irkutsk, Murmansk, Ivanovo, Ryazan, and Amur—all hit on the same day. Russia admitted it. Aircraft were damaged. Fires erupted. And their long-range bombing capacity just took a nosedive worse than the ruble after a sanctions announcement.

Let’s be honest here: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This is the way to completely obliterate that thug and war criminal called Vladimir Putin. Not by begging for peace, not by holding hands in Vienna, but by targeting the very war machines that keep his imperial delusion alive. I would bet a million dollars that there are more than a few Russian citizens—and even Russian soldiers—who are quietly cheering Ukraine on. You think everyone in Russia wants to die for Putin’s oil-soaked dreams? Some of them would gladly ‘play ball’ and help Ukraine strike again, if only to rid themselves of the man who’s turned their country into a giant military scrapyard.

When Ukraine cripples Russia’s weapon arsenals, Putin loses his ability to continue this nonsensical war. It’s that simple. A man can only throw punches if he’s still got arms. What Ukraine did today was cut off one of those arms. And I say, do it again. And again. And again. Until all that’s left of Putin’s war machine is rust and regret.

Let’s not forget, the timing of this brilliant strike wasn’t random. It came just before peace talks scheduled in Istanbul. Talk about sending a message. Zelenskyy isn’t walking into that negotiation room with empty hands—he’s walking in with a record of decisive military success. You know what the Russians are bringing to the table? A promise to maybe, possibly, if it suits them, share a memorandum. A memo! What is this, office politics? Meanwhile, Ukraine is bringing fire, steel, and strategy.

And speaking of Russian responses, what did they do after losing dozens of aircraft? They launched their largest drone attack on Ukraine since the war began in February 2022. 472 drones, seven missiles—and still, Ukraine stands. Still fighting. Still resisting. Still brilliant.

But let’s not sugarcoat everything. A Russian missile did hit a Ukrainian training unit today, killing at least 12 and wounding over 60. A respected commander, Mykhailo Drapatyi, even resigned in the aftermath. Losses like this hurt. They remind us that every day of this war comes at a cost. But even that tragedy only underscores the genius of Ukraine’s strategy. Russia attacks from a distance because it can’t win face-to-face. And Ukraine? Ukraine responds by reaching farther, striking deeper, and turning airfields into graveyards.

If there’s any doubt left in anyone’s mind about who’s winning this war—not just on the battlefield but in the minds and hearts of people across the world—this should put it to rest. Ukraine isn’t just defending itself. It’s redefining 21st-century warfare. This isn’t a David vs. Goliath story. This is David building drones, coding software, and sending Goliath’s head back via express delivery.

And let’s be honest, Putin isn’t leading a country anymore. He’s managing a delusion. His army is losing ground, his bombers are getting smoked, and his citizens are fleeing both the frontlines and the truth. The man who once claimed he could take Kyiv in three days is now trying to hold onto villages on the outskirts of Sumy.

Some folks ask why Zelenskyy keeps fighting. I ask why he wouldn’t. If your neighbor broke into your house, stole your land, killed your people, and still kept launching missiles at your bedroom every night—what would you do? Ukraine’s doing what any sane, sovereign nation would do. They’re fighting back smart, strong, and savagely.

And as for Putin’s propaganda machine? Let them spin it. Say what you want about Western weapons, NATO, or U.S. funding. What happened today wasn’t about anyone’s foreign aid. This was Ukraine—Ukrainians—taking matters into their own hands. It was brain and brawn meeting at the intersection of desperation and brilliance.

They say the axe forgets, but the tree remembers. Well, Ukraine remembers every missile strike, every school shelled, every family torn apart. And today, the axe was returned—with interest.

So let the world keep watching. Let the so-called experts predict stalemates and draw red lines. Ukraine is drawing something else: a road map to victory, sketched in drone flight paths and burned into Russian runways.

If Putin thinks this is over, he might want to look up. That buzzing sound? It's not bees. It’s karma with wings.

And just like that, Russia’s air force learned that in the age of drones, even superpowers can get smoked like cheap cigars.
