Ukraine conducted a large drone attack on Russian military aircraft on Sunday, a security official told Reuters, saying 40 Russian warplanes were struck.
This will be in textbooks. Ukraine secretly delivered FPV drones and wooden mobile cabins into Russia. The drones were hidden under the roofs of the cabins, which were later mounted on trucks. 1/

This "Pearl Harbor" for Russia was made by possible by extraordinary Ukrainian military OPSEC and their spy network behind enemy lines. The armed Palestinian groups that seized 251 Israeli hostages on 7 Oct 2023 similarly exercised great OPSEC in their extensive planning and preparation before the raid, catching everyone by surprise in Jerusalem, Tehran, Wash DC, and Moscow. Only the Egyptian mukhabarat has an inkling of something afoot in the neighboring Gaza Strip. This type of discipline from the Ukrainians and the Palestinians demonstrates an uncommon resolve to resist a powerful, brutal enemy seeking their destruction. Link: www.timesofisrael.com
It's being reported that about $1 million in drones (100 drones at ~$1K apiece) inflicted >$7 billion in damage.
Some video of the attacks, pics of drones, and as well as how the drones were delivered by truck in automated wooden boxes here.
Hell, Trump approved the strike ahead of time, this was reported.

Yeah, the guy who pulled Ukraine's intel right before Poohty started the counterattack a few months back. Sure!
And here's a cite to an actual article, as opposed to something that you pulled out of your buttocks.
Trump was not informed about Ukraine attack which destroyed huge fleet of Russian planes, reports claims
White House was not given advance notice about Ukraine's large-scale' drone attack, which wiped out a fleet of about 40 Russian military bombers

Errata in The Hill article:
"The Jedi impact on Putin was immediate. Russian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov was suddenly the one without any cards to play during the Monday meeting in Istanbul."
Andrei Removich Belousov is the new Russian Defense Minister; Rustem Umerov is the Ukrainian DM.

Another aspect of this attack on military assets is ... can Russia replace the assets?
Russia took many (most/ all?) of these planes from Ukraine back when the USSR was breaking up in return for Ukraine surrendering its nuclear weapons.
Does Russia even have the ability to build new long range bombers?
