Ukraine's intelligence service undertook a covert operation named Spiderweb, spanning a year and a half, to develop drones concealed in mobile homes. This operation culminated in a significant attack on Russian airbases on June 1, causing extensive damage to aircraft, including long-range bombers used to bombard Ukraine. The operation was initiated following increased shelling of Ukrainian cities, with a focus on eliminating missile carriers. The operational drones were equipped with solar panels for power and transported strategically, highlighting Ukraine's innovative military strategies and their shift in drone warfare capabilities.
In a bold display of innovation in drone warfare, Operation Spiderweb was meticulously planned by Ukraine's intelligence services, striking deep into Russian territory.
We started doing this in November 2023, because then the enemy once again began to massively shell peaceful Ukrainian cities... Our task was to destroy missile carriers.
The drones were concealed under the roofs of prefabricated houses... These homes were equipped with solar panels and special batteries to ensure continuous power.
The attack on June 1 not only crippled Russia's strategic bomber fleet but also set a precedent for drone operations beyond conventional limits.
