Ukraine Executes Large-Scale Drone Strike "Operation Spiderweb" on Russian Airbases

Ukraine launched a "brilliant" and large-scale drone attack, codenamed "Operation Spiderweb," on Sunday, June 1, 2025, targeting at least four major Russian airbases, including those thousands of kilometers from the front lines like Belaya and Olenya.

Ukraine claims to have damaged or destroyed 41 strategic warplanes, including irreplaceable Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 bombers, though independent analysis confirms significant, albeit lower, losses of several aircraft.

This operation, praised by President Zelensky as "justified" and "deserved," represents a substantial blow to Russia's strategic aviation capabilities and has led to increased security measures across Russian territory.
