Russia’s Bombers: Still Kicking, Just Loaded Like Overstuffed Suitcases
Russia’s strategic bombers keep trying to bite Ukraine, despite Operation Spiderweb’s drone shenanigans that 'damaged what it said was at least a third of Russia’s bomber fleet.'

Meanwhile, Ukrainian media grimly notes bombers now come with a side of cramming missiles 'to full capacity' — as if military aircraft suddenly joined a clearance sale for payloads. Replacement plans? Minimal, because Russia stopped producing some models years ago. Resilience or desperate stuffing? You decide.
