Putin is playing Trump for a sucker. Trump is so full of himself he doesn't even realize he is being played.
But that's really no surprise since all you have to do is kiss his ass and he thinks he's in charge.Keep on Civin'

Ukraine claims to have hit more than 40 Russian bombers, in what appears to be one of the most audacious attacks so far on Russian aviation.
According to a statement from Ukraine’s security service, the SBU, “enemy strategic bombers are burning en masse in Russia”.
It says Ukraine is conducting “a large scale special operation aimed at destroying enemy bomber aircraft.” It says more than 40 aircraft have been hit.
It has released dramatic video which it says shows a drone attack at the Belaya airbase in Irkutsk oblast, in Siberia. Bombers are under attack, with explosions visible and smoke rising.
Reports suggest other aircraft have been attacked at the Olenya airbase, near Murmansk. Russian media is reporting the attack in Murmansk but says air defences are working. The attack in Irkutsk is also being reported.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian authorities say that 472 drones and seven ballistic and cruise missiles were involved in last night’s wave of attacks on Ukraine. This would appear to be one largest single Russian drone attacks so far. Ukraine says it neutralised 385 aerial targets.
Zelensky addressed a Nato summit in Lithuania after negotiators from Moscow and Kyiv held talks in Istanbul.
If confirmed this would be a couple thousand miles away from Ukraine. Gosh.

As per usual details are hard or impossible to verify, but it seems to be a thing.
On Sunday, Ukraine’s Security Service carried out a large-scale attack on military airfields across Russia that it claims destroyed more than 40 warplanes. The operation, which reportedly took over a year and a half to plan, is said to have used drones launched from trucks deep inside Russian territory to strike air bases far from the border — including one in Siberia. Russian pro-war military bloggers have described the losses as “a serious blow” to the country’s military aviation. Here’s what we know so far about this massive, coordinated strike on Russia’s air capabilities.
In there are also ref's to Russian sources:
The Russian pro-war Telegram channel Rybar reported that several Tu-95 bombers were destroyed in the attack. “As we’ve said before, Tu-95 and Tu-22 strategic bombers have long been out of production and can’t be replaced. These losses are irrecoverable. This is, without exaggeration, a serious blow to our strategic forces — the result of major intelligence failures and a negligent attitude toward aviation equipment, which, even after repeated attacks, remained parked in open fields without any shelter,” the channel wrote.
The pro-war Telegram channel Fighterbomber, which is close to Russia’s Aerospace Forces, posted: “Today will later be remembered as a dark day for Russia’s long-range aviation. And the day isn’t even over.”
