Overview
In a historic escalation, Ukraine's Security Service executed a surprise drone attack, 'Spiderweb,' on multiple Russian airbases, damaging over 40 military aircraft, including nuclear-capable bombers. The operation, overseen by President Zelenskyy, involved 117 drones launched from concealed trucks, reaching as far as Siberia. Ukraine claims the attack inflicted $7 billion in losses, significantly impacting Russia's strategic bomber fleet, which includes the Tu-95 and Tu-22M. While Moscow downplays the damage, analysts suggest the strike may bolster Ukraine's negotiating position ahead of peace talks in Istanbul, complicating the ongoing conflict and demonstrating Ukraine's evolving military capabilities.
