Ukraine has reportedly executed a significant drone strike against over 40 Russian military bombers thousands of kilometers from its borders. Conducted by the SBU domestic intelligence agency, the operation targeted four military airbases and potentially resulted in extensive damage, including fires at the Belaya airbase. If verified, this attack would represent one of Ukraine's most consequential drone offensives during the ongoing conflict, occurring amid rising tensions and approaching peace talks set for Istanbul. The unnamed official expressed that this special operation has been meticulously planned for over 18 months.
The strikes were conducted by Ukraine's SBU domestic intelligence agency, and had simultaneously struck four Russian military airbases.
According to a source cited by the well-connected Ukrainska Pravda, the operation codenamed Spiderweb had been in preparation for more than 18 months.
Ukrainian security services are carrying out a large-scale special operation aimed at destroying enemy bombers far from the front, in Russia.
If confirmed, the attacks would mark Ukraine's most damaging drone strike of the war to date, amid an escalation in cross-border incursions.
