In Yeisk at the military airfield, enemy drones "almost completely destroyed" two Su-25 aircraft. There are reports of four fatalities.
The Engels-2 airfield was also attacked. Several sources told us of serious damage to "two or three" Tu-95MS strategic bombers

Russian TG Channel Kremlin Secrets: «Bad news for our aviation. There are losses at two more airfields, strategic bombers are damaged
Unfortunately, the enemy attack at night and early in the morning on April 5 affected not only the Morozovsk airfield, where four of our aircraft were damaged. Serious losses were suffered at two more military facilities.
According to sources in the VKS, enemy drones "almost completely destroyed" two Su-25 aircraft at a military airfield in Yeysk. There are reports of four deaths.
Engels-2 airfield was also attacked. Several sources have informed us about the serious damage to "two or three" Tu-95MS strategic bombers and the death of seven people. There are allegedly several strategic aviation pilots among the dead, but these data require additional verification.
Other interlocutors deny information about the damage to bombers at the airfield in Engels. There are rumors that all information related to this emergency will be "tightly classified." This, as well as the level of sources who reported the strike on the aircraft, unfortunately, give reason to think that the information about the losses is true.»

The airfield housed Su-24, Su-24M, and Su-34 frontline bombers, which Russia employs to target Ukrainian army positions and frontline cities.
According to the Kyiv Post source, "At least six Russian military aircraft were destroyed, and another eight were heavily damaged. In addition to the equipment, about 20 Russian servicemen were either killed or wounded."
"This operation is of paramount importance and will significantly diminish the combat capabilities of the Russian forces," the source added.

They normally get guided to a position to surrender. What a stunning choice of music to accompany it.

Full video. Yesterday, near Bakhmut, a unique event of historic proportions took place. First, one of the "liberators", wounded by drops from drones, committed suicide by putting a grenade under his head. The occupier, who was watching all this from his hole, mad with fear and hopelessness, seeing how all his comrades died in the trenches from UAV strikes in a few hours, decided to surrender to the drone. Seeing a drone ready to destroy him, he raised his hands and showed that he was ready to surrender. The fighters of the CODE 9.2 group, already recognized all over the world as virtuosos in destroying occupiers using drones, decided to save his life and, with the assistance of the crew of the ACHILES UAV company, transmitted instructions on how and where to go [for occupier] by dropping the package from the drone . The invader read the instructions and went to surrender. His commanders, seeing from their drone that their soldier was surrendering, tried to destroy him with an artillery strike, but did not hit. Drone operators escorted him and handed him over to the valiant warriors of the 3rd Battalion of the 92nd Brigade. Now the invader, originally from the Pskov region, is safe. He, unlike thousands of others, will not be left to rot on Ukrainian soil and got a chance to be useful - to be exchanged for one of Ukrainian Defenders.

I believe they are offered the opportunity to stay in Ukraine rather than return home and hence back to the front.

Detailed thread with many videos…
GeoConfirmed UKR.
Last night, Ukraine executed one of its most extensive combined drone strikes in history, according to preliminary reporting: At least 100 drones were involved in the attacks, targeting at least three areas in Russia: Kursk, Engels Airbase, and Morozovsk Airbase. Additionally, there are reports that Belgorod, Voronezh, and Rostov-on-Don may also have been targeted.
In this thread we will publish the different geolocations.…..

Would you wish to send someone home to certain death? I wouldn't. End of the day once captured he is a Prisoner of War and you have certain conditions you have to adhere too.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Macron had told the U.S. and NATO that their troops won’t be needed if France sends its soldiers to Ukraine and those troops come under attack by the Russian Army.
https://archive.ph/2024.04.04-214917...putin-b89d1177
……Macron had been sounding out Scholz and other leaders about the need for a strategic shift for months.
France’s top military officer, Thierry Burkhard, sent a letter to his NATO counterparts describing how the allies could support Ukraine with troops inside the country. Those ideas included training Ukrainian troops there, operating defensive systems and helping with cyberwarfare, a French official said.
But the prospect of Western personnel in Ukraine—whether civilian or military—raised the prickly question of how allies should respond if any died in a Russian strike.
The Biden administration was worried that Russia could target any French troops that might be sent to Ukraine, according to a U.S. official. That would risk drawing France and potentially other Western nations into the conflict, the official said.
Macron, however, told allies there would be no need to involve NATO or the U.S. if Russia targeted French troops, according to an official. France has had casualties in military campaigns in Africa, for example, without turning to allies for help.
Before the February summit was due to begin, Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico told a televised briefing that preparatory materials he had received for the summit sent shivers down his spine.
The documents, he said, suggested that a number of NATO and EU countries were considering sending troops to Ukraine. Fico added: “I cannot say for what purpose and what they should be doing there.”….

NATO’s 75th … a Foreign Ministers’ meeting … and what needs to happen next….
Germany will head an immediate search for air defense systems such as Patriot across the world intended to be sent to Ukraine, Minister of Foreign Affairs Kuleba said in a joint statement with his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock.
Well, better late than never.

In Putin’s mind are the recent invading armies of Napoleon and Hitler. I’m sure he’ll be thrilled to have the French back again on his doorstep.
If the US soldier fighting for the Russians is not wearing a MAGA patch, will Trump send him one?
Suggestion for the 300kg explosive kamikaze drone operators: How about landing on the runway and taxiing between parked aircraft or into a maintenance hangar before detonating?

Aiming at the roof is probably the best strategy.
Judging by previous form, you couldn’t discount Ukraine developing/adapting a drone with operator capable of doing just that!

‘The war will shape Putin’s dying years in power. He cannot step back from his objective of emasculating Ukraine. He may gain more territory, but the Ukrainians will never willingly surrender their freedom and sovereignty. Putin has therefore condemned Russia to a long war, a war with no visible end point, and a conflict for years ahead with the West as well as with Ukraine.’

Wake up HoR, the petty politics of the MAGA GOP is heading towards US boots on the ground, hope the party was worth the cost that will be borne.

To explain Ruzzia's nasty warfighting habits this well-produced series is a valuable and chilling insight - chilling as it shows that Putain is merely carrying on the same style of savage and inhuman warfare that Ruzzia has employed for centuries and even today shows no sign of changing their habitual inhuman barbarity of past ages.
It does not inspire confidence for the future.

Maybe they have enough prisoners to ask which ones want to go back. Some will
