US Edition'Operation Spider Web': Ukraine Executes Large-Scale Sneak Drone Attack on Russian Warplanes - Alaska Native News
- Ukraine launched Operation Spider Web on Sunday, deploying 117 drones concealed in trucks to strike Russian airbases across multiple regions within Russia.
- The attack targeted highly strategic assets like the Belaya air base in Irkutsk, which houses nuclear-capable bombers approximately 4,500 kilometers from Ukraine’s front lines.
- Drone videos and open-source analysis confirmed damage to at least a dozen Russian bombers, including Tu-95MS, Tu-22M3, and a rare A-50 surveillance plane, with reports noting strikes at Murmansk and Irkutsk airfields.
- The Ukrainian General Staff claimed the strike destroyed 34% of Russia’s air missile carriers worth about $10.8 billion, and experts described the operation as complex and successful in revealing vulnerabilities.
- Operation Spider Web’s success challenges Russia’s military strength, may weaken its alliances in Asia, signals the need for enhanced drone defenses globally, and offers renewed hope amid waning perceptions of Ukraine’s war prospects.
