The Ukrainian operation, "Spider Web," proved to be a success, culminating in the destruction of 12 Russian strategic bombers.
The Security Service of Ukraine launched an assault using drones on Russian airfields in various regions, taking the Russian air forces by surprise, as reported by "The Moscow Times".
During operation "Spider Web," strike drones were deployed to Russian airfields, hindering the Russians from mounting an effective defence. As a result of the attack, bombers such as the T-95 and the T-22M3 were destroyed. The Russian Ministry of Defence claims that the attacks were repelled, but OSINT analyses confirm the losses.
"Black day"
The operation caused alarm in Russia, exposing weaknesses in airfield defences.
The destruction of strategic bombers, crucial to the Russian air force, was likened to a "black day" for Russian long-range aviation.
Russian sources suggest a potential response to the attack, although the objectives remain unclear.
