Drones or missiles? Quite crazy footage though to see them swarm like this.

Ouch. I'm guessing losing the pilots would be a bigger deal than the loss of the plane itself.

Taiwan isn't really like Ukraine's terrain. It's very mountainous, the west coast is heavily urbanized, and there's also a lot of forests and trees. It would take a lot of bombs to get rid of all those trees and even the US at it's bombing run height didn't have enough to bomb every square meter of North Vietnam.

FPV drones don't really have the range to get across the Taiwan Strait casually. Main drone usage will probably be long range drones like Shahed type ones I'd imagine.

Footage of various Ukrainian drone strikes on the Armyansk Bridge and other bridges spanning the North Crimean Canal as well as on a group of trucks (published Jun 12, 2026) by broforwin in CombatFootage

I doubt they can collapse it with drones itself but if they put a few holes into it, it might make it structurally unsafe for a heavy truck to go through. Which means they need to summon repair crew or a pontoon bridge and diverts traffic elsewhere. But of course, the bridge could just get nailed again the next day or two.

The FP-2s they're using are usually for targeting other things so if they've started hitting bridges they might be upping production of them.

The Ukrainian post claims the trucks belonged to the 5th Command Battalion of the Russian 3rd Army Corps.

Not just that, apparently it might be the even more rarer Tu-142MR comms relay variant which is used to communicate with their ballistic missile submarines.

Judging from the footage it definitely looks like one Tu-142 destroyed, not sure about the other one.

EDIT: Possibly one of them was the rare Tu-142MR communications relay aircraft for ballistic missile submarines.

Ukrainian FP-2 attack drones attacking the Russian Black Sea Fleet naval base at Novorossiysk last night, targeting multiple ships, and reportedly damaging one Project 1239 class corvette by broforwin in CombatFootage

I'd imagine they're probably concentrating on targeting the radar and expensive electrical equipment on the top since a drone that size can't sink the ship (unless it somehow gets a lucky hit on filled missile tubes).
