   That seems likely. I am guessing a fairly small team, but more than one drone operator. It does sound as if they got their timing very nicely, given the aircraft types they hit.

     Plus, Ukraine's claim the whole thing was fully remote; the security police *will still have to check*. An elegant little bit of psywar.

     Agreed. If it's footage from one of the operators, anyway; are we certain of that?
     Maybe it's not from the attacks? It wouldn't be difficult to fake.

     @Infoseepage @SoftwareTheron @ScottLucas The icing on the cake is the USA appears to be completely unaware of anything to do with this operation. I suspect if the USA knew, Putin would have been informed and the operation would have failed. Two bridges collapsed somewhere also, causing more loss and trouble for Russia.

     They're even claiming to have had solar panels in the carriers, to keep the drone and control batteries topped up during the journeys to the target areas.

     Per the BBC article, I am entirely wrong about my previous thinking - if Ukraine is telling the truth. Ukraine is claiming fully automated deployment of the attack, or very close to it, with a separate remote operator for each drone and automatic opening of the tops of the transport boxes, which were built as false ceilings in the tops of freight containers. And remote incendiaries in the containers, for when the attack had finished.
