Australian Cardboard Drones used against russian aircraft
The Power of Cardboard
Ukraine claimed that an attack that damaged five fighter planes at a Russian airfield was carried out using "cardboard" drones from Australia.
Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) told the Kyiv Post on Saturday that it had struck an MiG-29 and four Su-30 fighter jets at Kursk airfield in western Russia.
As well as the planes, the drones damaged two Pantsir missile launchers and part of an S-300 air-defense system, the SBU told the outlet.
The prominent pro-Russian Telegram channel @fighter_bomber, which closely follows the Russian air force, said the attack was the first use of Australian-provided delivery drones made of cardboard.
Insider could not independently confirm the claim, but on Tuesday Ukraine's ambassador to Australia Vasyl Myroshnychenko said in a post on X: "Cardboard drones from Australia used in attack on Russian airfield."
