One more: again from the Russian side: local people film the extent of hits on one of the aerodromes

Another Russian video allegedly shows locals trying to stop the attack drones as they emerge

The furthest-away Russian aerodrome was in Siberia, not far from the Mongolian border. Here's a video from the Russian side, with a very sweary voiceover, supposedly showing the attack drones being launched remotely from one of the containers

One of the extraordinary aspects of the operation was that Ukrainian operators controlled the attack drones in real time, seemingly from Ukraine. In film released by Kyiv you can see one of the drones fly over a line of parked Russian bombers. Two are on fire (not fatally, perhaps); another is hit.
