Ukraine launched a massive drone attack on multiple Russian air bases, targeting strategic bombers and causing significant damage.

In response, massive traffic jams have been reported in Russia's Irkutsk region as police inspect every truck for possible drones intended for Russian warplanes. The programme explores the heightened security measures and the broader implications of Ukraine's drone warfare capabilities.
