The attack, which was planned over the course of 18 months and involved smuggling dozens of drones armed with explosives deep into Russian territory as far as Siberia and the Far East, reportedly destroyed at least 12 aircraft. Ukraine said the damaged or destroyed aircraft, some of which were nuclear-capable, included A-50, Tu-95, Tu-22 M3 and Tu-160 models — planes Kyiv said Russia had used nearly every night to bomb Ukraine.

So, where was I.Yes - twenty or so strategic bomber fleet aircraft. And the hardware layout if you count modifications to a bunch of old trucks nobody would look twice at as free volunteer time? Around a quarter of a million dollars.
So, the lesson. Suddenly you no longer need to be a sovereign power to take out billions of dollars of irreplaceable strategic hardware, this is now within reach of a small tight group of modern minutemen so long as they've never been infiltrated. Ten members, $25,000 subscription each.
It's not just strategic bomber fleet aircraft that now need instant-reaction modules built into their defence line tripped by swarms of short-range moving WiFi stations. Strategic munition reserves. Chip fab clean rooms. Wellheads. The excuse of nobody could do that just disappeared.
