‼️BREAKING: Right now the SBU is striking the Russian military airfield Belaya in the Irkutsk region by controlling drones in real time, receiving a video signal from the drones! (Video is from the Irkutsk region)

Belaya Air Base, located approximately 85 km northwest of Irkutsk in Russia's Irkutsk Oblast, serves as a strategic site for long-range bomber operations. Situated about 4,000 km from Ukraine, it hosts Tu-95MS, Tu-160, and Tu-22M3 bombers equipped with Kh-101, Kh-555, and Kh-55 cruise missiles, enabling long-range strikes against Ukrainian targets.

This is the furthest Ukrainian drone attack during the entire war!

🚨At the very same time second Russian airbase in Olenegorsk, Murmansk region, is also under drone attack!

Olenya Air Base near Olenegorsk, Murmansk region, is about 1,800 km from Ukraine. Russia uses it to launch Tu-95MS, Tu-160, and Tu-22M3 bombers armed with Kh-101 and Kh-555 cruise missiles in long-range strikes against Ukraine.
/2. Belaya, Irkutsk region. Strong detonations on the ground observed by the locals from the direction of the airbase. 4400km from the frontline!!!!!!
/3. You can never hide from the SBU. Definitely the most impressive operation of the entire war! Simply BRAVO!
/4. Olenegorsk, Murmansk region of Russia! 1750km from the Ukrainian border!

Once again - several Russian air bases with strategic bombers are under simultaneous drone attack! So keeping track of everything and not getting lost can be difficult!
/5. Belaya, Irkutsk region of Russia.

Strong detonations on the airfield territory. We can also see that locals recorded FPV drones flying over their heads. And this is happening 4400km from the frontline.

P.S: I also repeat that several airfields in different parts of Russia are under attack at the same time, don’t get confused!

P.S: Some other sources may refer to this video as from another airfield near Moscow, or other, it’s not. The confusion likely caused by extensive amount of footages from multiple locations today.

🪡🧵/1. Footage shows the NEMESIS unit of the @usf_army “bombarding” NATO armored columns during drills in Estonia.

NEMESIS, a Ukrainian unit that participated in major NATO exercises in Estonia, helped simulate a drone-dominated battlefield for the Alliance.
Below is a thread with NEMESIS drone operators insights and the experience they gained during the drills.
/2. The military exercise Hedgehog-2025 took place in Estonia in May last year.

More than 16,000 service members from 12 NATO member states, as well as Ukraine, participated in the drills — including operators from the 412th Nemesis Brigade. Image
/3. Under one of the exercise scenarios, a large NATO battlegroup numbering several thousand troops conducted an offensive operation.

Playing the role of the opposing force was a Ukrainian UAV unit — bomber drone crews from the 412th NEMESIS Brigade, along with several FPV drone teams from the 427th Rarog Brigade and the International Legion of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence (HUR).Image

/1. (WSJ) - NATO conducted large-scale military exercises in Estonia, the Hedgehog 2025 drills, bringing together more than 16,000 troops from 12 member states, with Ukrainian drone operators serving as a simulated adversary.

The exercise laid bare a sobering conclusion: Alliance is not ready for a battlefield where drones dominate the sky and make every move visible and vulnerable.Image
/2. The exercises goal was to recreated a battlefield packed with threats and constant drone activity, pushing units to operate under pressure and testing how well they could adapt in real time.

From the outset, things did not go as smoothly. In one scenario, a NATO battle group of several thousand troops, including a British brigade and an Estonian division, advanced as if the battlefield had not fundamentally changed, effectively ignoring the drone threat as though it did not exist.

“The NATO battle group simply moved around without camouflage, setting up tents and armored vehicles. Everything was destroyed,” said one participant who acted as the opposing force.
/3. A single Ukrainian team of about 10 personnel acting as the simulated enemy managed within half a day to replicate the destruction of 17 armored vehicles and carry out 30 additional strikes on other targets.

According to Aivar Hanniotti, who commanded the roughly 100-strong opposing unit, more than 30 drones were operating in an area of less than 10 square kilometers — only about half the drone density currently seen along Ukraine’s front line.

“There was no possibility to hide. We quite easily found cars and mechanized units, and we were able to take them out quite fast with strike drones,”

(1/8) In Sweden, nuns from the St. Elisabeth Convent, originally based in Belarus, embedded in 20 churches, worked for Russian intelligence and raised funds for the Russian army while posing as a charity. Image
(2/8) This exposure forced the Swedish Church to issue an official warning to other Catholic communities, stating that nuns of the St. Elisabeth Monastery direct their earnings toward supporting Russian nationalism and Moscow’s aggression against Ukraine, while maintaining close ties to the GRU.

In Sweden, those nuns became known as the “Z-nuns.”Image
(3/8) What Z-nuns sold as “souvenirs” in Swedish churches actually served as a funding tool for Russian military units.

Thus proceeds from the sales were channelled directly towards supporting Russia's war effort. Image
