Oh and i'm curious if there is any information on how many drones Ukrainian might have used for this operation. Just using one or two does not seem to be convincing.

Eight hundred pieces of American military equipment, including cars and tanks, arrived in Poland over the weekend and were unloaded at the port of Gdynia.
If they have used one or two means that they are accurate and air defence is fluke. Clearly we don't have enough informations... maybe 10 got shot down or lost their way and hit nothing too.
Those 800 pieces of military equipment are to reinforce NATO's eastern flank, not to be sent to Ukraine. Your post means absolutely nothing to me.

What are they waiting for then?
I am wondering the same thing. Thousands of pieces of American military equipment in Poland, meanwhile from the New York Post article:
Cos' they have lot of useless stuff, and nothing that can be sent and could be usefull ?
Or require training, that has only few person whom capable to deliver it, and all of them close to retirement ?
Jawelin + stinger eqhausted, TOW require easy to destroy stable launch point, and require more training.
What else left that can be given with few weeks of training ?
Older weapons require more training , newer less, but there is not so much new system, and usually all of the require classified communication channels / sodes to use them.
The unspoken truth is that if these "advanced" platforms would be sent they would perform none or marginally better than the ancient stuff Ukraine gets.
Modern platforms need to work together in a network in order to be useful, and in a country where even an electric grid almost doesn't exist, then there's no chance of having coordinated use of platforms.
Americans do not want to be humiliated by dozens of m1a2 destroyed in 1 battle. Even if a bunch of Ukrainian lives could be saved by not sending them in 1970s soviet export tanks, those lives are worth way less than the face US would lose.
US got no confidence, perhaps on the military leadership level, they know that they're barely better than Ru Army, given that both are organized by similarly corrupt types of regimes and the US military can't even account for 50% of its assets.
If they involve too much, they will shatter the fragile illusion of invincibility they got from invading tiny countries with nearly non existent defenses.
There are more civilian casualties in Donetsk today than yesterday when Russia fired a dozen missiles. According to Zelensky, four civilians were killed yesterday and today there are at least 8 dead and 15 wounded in Donetsk. All civilians.
AFU launched BM-21 Grad missiles on the residential neighborhood in the center of Donetsk.

Mein guess is correct Ukraine and likely with US help mortified these recon drones with new navigation system/GPS because all of a sudden you're starting to see them used and actually hitting Russian military targets.
And I don't think Ukraine has many of these they are more than likely using 1 or 2 at a time per airfield.
Does Russia even have a working air force? Oy vey.
