Or they're just rubbing it in. "Look here, we found these drones from local hacklab and threw them on a truck and it took out sizable portion of Russias planes over the weekend" -kind of way. All of that is pretty simple to figure out anyways, it's a huge PR victory to reveal everything (with the obvious military victory) and there's no easy nor cheap way for Russia to prevent that from happening again at somewhere else. Maybe next time it's not a truck near airfield but a van in Moscow or a tractor trailer at some field nearby training grounds. There's just no way Russia could monitor and defend everything across their country.

That's what happens when the country is too damn big to be controlled by centralised power.

Well, there is one way to prevent it. Russian cops will have to stop every single truck in the country for in-depth searches, constantly. Just grind the economy to a halt. Simple.

I like this take.
