You might not see the real consequences of the destruction of 34% or 7 billion dollars of Russian Bombers anytime soon

The only thing that I have observed that reminds me at all of this situation with Russian Bombers is when The U.S. Government paid for Stinger type hand held missiles for the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan when Osama was a double CIA agent for Afghanistan and the U.S. at that time. I think his group accepted the Stinger type of hand held missiles (the CIA bought maybe Israeli Stinger types of hand held missiles I think to divert Russian Attention from where these missiles were coming from or who paid for them.

The result then was that so many Russian War helicopters and jet planes and Tanks were destroyed it helped end Communist Russia as an economically viable state and it collapsed on itself and tried Democracy through Yeltsin. And Yeltsin's successor was a KGB Colonel in East German before the Berlin Wall fell named Putin.

IN the 1980s the full consequences were that Russia's military completely withdrew from Afghanistan and the Soviet Union Collapsed and for awhile was a democracy under Yeltsin before Putin.

So, in some ways things have gone full circle where all these 117 small drones (it appears) with maybe C-4 explosives on them destroyed now 7 billion dollars or 34% of Russian Cruise missile Bombers.

The following are the types of Cruise missile Bombers destroyed that were Russian that were destroyed:

Russian bombers capable of launching cruise missiles include the Tupolev Tu-95MS (also known as "Bear"), the Tupolev Tu-160 (also known as "Blackjack"), and the Tupolev Tu-22M3 (also known as "Backfire").

The movie you are likely thinking of is

Charlie Wilson's War, which stars Tom Hanks as the titular character, U.S. Congressman Charlie Wilson. The film is based on the true story of how Wilson, along with a CIA operative and a Houston socialite, covertly funded the Afghan mujahideen's resistance against the Soviet invasion in the 1980s. 

While Tom Hanks's character in the movie doesn't personally fire any missiles, he is central to the plot involving the acquisition and shipment of weaponry, including Stinger missiles, to the Afghan fighters. These weapons were a significant factor in the mujahideen's fight against the Soviets. The film explores the political machinations and consequences of this covert operation.
