Fresh Take:
𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁-𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗥'𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝗽𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀: 𝗡𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘄'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗿𝘀𝘀-𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗿𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿 Russian military airfields in the heart of their territory might've caused less damage than initially suggested by Kyiv. New data released by the Ukrainian General Staff implies that Russian forces have lost a dozen aircraft, without specifying their types. Initially, the SBU intelligence agency had mentioned at least 41 aircraft damaged, including the Beriev A-50 early warning plane, Tupolev Tu-95, Tu-22, and Tu-160.
Ukrainian officials celebrated the drone attacks on airfields in the Irkutsk and Murmansk regions as a historic blow to the Russian air force. According to SBU reports, more than 40 combat and reconnaissance aircraft were hit - about 34% of Russia's bombers capable of launching cruise missiles.

From the Russian side, a firm retort was announced. "Retribution is imminent," wrote Dmitry Medvedev, deputy head of the Russian Security Council, on Telegram. He also alluded to the Russian forces' active advance. "What should be annihilated in the air will be annihilated, and those who should cease to exist will vanish," the former Russian president continued. He stated that negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul were unnecessary to reach a mutually beneficial peace agreement, but instead, they would hasten the Russian victory.

In response to the Ukrainian drone attacks, the Russian aerospace industry is expected to address the losses in their fleet. The finance sector may play a crucial role in funding the necessary repairs and replacements, potentially impacting the broader industry landscape.
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy head of the Russian Security Council, also highlighted the importance of the finance sector, stating, "What should be annihilated in the air will be annihilated, and those who should cease to exist will vanish, but it's worth remembering that our strength lies not only in our aerospace capabilities, but also in the resilience of our financial industry."
