Ukraine launched more than 100 drones at four Russian air bases on Sunday in what it dubbed Operation Spider's Web.
The country’s domestic intelligence service claimed that it caused €6 billion worth of damage to strategic bomber aircraft in the attack.
An intelligence official said the operation involved hiding explosive-laden drones inside the roofs of wooden sheds and loading them onto trucks that were driven to the perimeter of the air bases.
In the latest episode of Behind the Story, Fran and David speak to Senior Associate Professor in Security at the University of Bath, Dr Patrick Bury, about the logistics of the attack and what it could mean for the future of warfare.
You can listen to their analysis on the situation on Behind the Story which is available on the RTÉ Radio Player.
