Experts anticipate a strong backlash from Russian President Vladimir Putin in response to this audacious assault, which reportedly damaged or destroyed over 40 Russian military aircraft, including strategic bombers. The attack demonstrated the vulnerabilities of Russian forces, as articulated by analysts who noted that it calls into question Russia&#8217;s assumed dominance in the conflict. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the operation took over a year and a half to plan. This dramatic escalation in hostilities occurred just before peace talks between the two nations, with some critics suggesting that such actions could undermine efforts towards resolution. The Trump governance was reportedly unaware of the strike prior to its execution, indicating a potential lack of coordination between Ukraine and its allies.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Ukraine on Sunday committed a massive, &ldquo;Pearl Harbor&rdquo;-like drone strike on Russia so devastating that experts are expecting a furious reaction from Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We can expect a great deal of sound and fury from Moscow,&rdquo; Keir Giles of the London-based think tank Chatham House warned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/putin-response-ukraine-drone-attack-2079691\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newsweek<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A Kremlin-backed newspaper meanwhile compared the strike to Russia&rsquo;s &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/gary-sinise-met-wheelchair-bound-pearl-harbor-survivor-nobody-expected-seven-words-vet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pearl Harbor<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This is a Tu-95 nuclear bomber.
