Russian Long-Range Bombers Destroyed By Smuggled Drones, Says Ukraine

  • Ukraine launched a large-scale drone strike on June 1, 2025, targeting five Russian air bases deep inside Russian territory.
  • The operation, named Spider Web by the SBU, took one and a half years to plan and aimed to degrade Russia's nuclear deterrence.
  • More than 40 Russian military aircraft, including Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 bombers and an A-50 early warning plane, were destroyed or damaged in the attacks.
  • Ukrainian President Zelenskyy called the strike 'our most long-range operation,' praising the SBU for executing it under the nose of Russia's FSB.
  • The strike marked a major escalation before ceasefire talks in Turkey and suggested a significant blow to Russia's long-range aerial capabilities.
