Ukraine drone attack in Russia was really Pearl Harbor moment or overhyped? Know the truth
Russia-Ukraine war took a sensational twist after Kyiv conducted surprise drone attacks targeting multiple Russian air bases hosting nuclear-capable strategic bombers. Ukraine said over 40 bombers, or about a third of Russia's strategic bomber fleet, were damaged or destroyed on Sunday, although Moscow said only several planes were struck. The conflicting claims couldn't be independently verified and video of the assault posted on social media showed only a couple of bombers hit. While some Russian military bloggers compared it to another infamous Sunday surprise attack — that of Japan's strike on the U.S. base at Pearl Harbor in 1941 — others rejected the analogy, arguing the actual damage was far less significant than Ukraine claimed. The bold attack demonstrated Ukraine's capability to hit high-value targets anywhere in Russia, dealing a humiliating blow to the Kremlin and inflicting significant losses to Moscow's war machine by reaching as far as Siberia.

During the 3-year-old war in Ukraine, Russia has used the heavy planes to launch waves of cruise missile strikes across the country. Before Sunday's drone attacks, Russia was estimated to have a fleet of about 60 such aircraft. Live Events U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was briefed on the attack, which represented a level of sophistication that Washington had not seen before, a senior defense official said on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. The Russian Defense Ministry said the attack set several warplanes ablaze at air bases in the Irkutsk region in eastern Siberia and the Murmansk region in the north, but the fires were extinguished. It said Ukraine also tried to strike two air bases in western Russia, as well as another one in the Amur region of Russia's Far East, but those attacks were repelled. The drone strikes produced an outcry from Russian military bloggers, who criticized the Defense Ministry for failing to learn from previous strikes and protect the bombers. Building shelters or hangars for such large planes is a daunting task, and the military has tried some impromptu solutions that were criticized as window dressing. FAQs Q1. Which types of aircraft were targeted by Ukraine? A1. Ukraine said 41 aircraft — Tu-95s, Tu-22Ms and A-50s — were damaged or destroyed Sunday in the attack that it said was in the works for 18 months in which swarms of drones popped out of containers carried on trucks that were parked near four air bases. Q2. How many aircraft Russia had? A2. Before Sunday's drone attacks, Russia was estimated to have a fleet of about 60 such aircraft.

These machines will be exported to markets in the United States, the UAE, and Europe, alongside serving the domestic market, it said.

"In addition to heavy machinery, the plant will also produce power backup generators, wind generators, alternators for data centre, EV motors for three wheelers, four wheelers, trucks, elevator motors, and electronic drives-MV and LV," it said. Highlighting the government's focus on industrial growth in North Karnataka, Patil said the state has introduced several concessions and facilities under its new industrial policy. "For Nidec's project, we ensured timely facilitation by allotting the required land within just two years," he added. Addressing concerns about water usage, the minister clarified, "The Krishna River Water Tribunal has allocated 4 TMC of water for industrial purposes, of which we are currently using only 0.5 TMC. We are not diverting water meant for agriculture. Moreover, the industries are provided only downstream water from the Hidkal Dam." He further emphasised the importance of balancing industrial development with agricultural interests. "While acquiring land for industrial purposes, fair compensation must be ensured for farmers. A healthy balance between agriculture and industry is vital," Patil added.
