What do you need to know?
- What happened? Ukraine conducted the "Spiderweb" operation, which may have destroyed about 30% of Russian strategic bombers. This information was provided by former senior NATO official, Marshall Billingslea.
Former NATO official Marshall Billingslea reported on platform X that Ukraine may have destroyed about 30% of Russian strategic bombers.
"It appears that Ukraine just destoyed ~30% or more of Russia’s nuclear-capable strategic bombers" - wrote Billingslea, currently an expert at the Hoover Institution. He added with irony that now Russia should have no problem complying with the New START treaty restrictions.
Consequences of the "Spiderweb" operation
The Ukrainian intelligence operation "Spiderweb," aimed at destroying Russian bomber aviation, is yielding significant results. "Drones are attacking the aircraft that bomb Ukrainian cities every night. Currently, over 40 aircraft are known to have been hit, including A-50, Tu-95, and Tu-22M3" - reported the Interfax-Ukraine agency, citing sources in the Security Service of Ukraine.
After the invasion of Ukraine, Russia suspended its participation in the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty. Vladimir Putin argues that any talks about arms reduction must be linked to the war in Ukraine. The destruction of part of the bomber fleet may affect future negotiations regarding this treaty.
"Olenegorsk, Murmansk region. The scale of the fire at the airbase" - informed the Exilenova portal on Telegram.
