They knew they were gonna be attacked by drones on home soil, right? Or is it standard procedure for militaries to "camouflage" their stuff deep inside their own territory? It's probably not very easy to cover all of these planes with tires and even some metal grids (looked very ghetto, by the way).

If Intelligence knew and couldn't do shit there will be some heads rolling as is us usual procedure in Führers Reich.

I really don't think it occurred to the Russians that Ukraine would pull something like this off.

It sure hadn't occurred to anyone else.

But why the tyres? That's what I wonder about. Is that standard practise with planes?

I think they thought more of long range drones with the tires. Nobody expected short range drones.

Maybe to confuse any autonomous targeting AI/ML detection models

That I don't have an answer to.
