Ukraine reported an attack on four Russian air bases using 117 drones launched from containers near the targets in an operation codenamed “Spider’s Web.” On Wednesday, it released footage of drones attacking Russian strategic bombers and hitting the dome antennas of two A-50 spy planes.
Zelensky said half of the 41 Russian planes attacked had sustained damage unrepairable.
The SBU estimated the damage to russia at 7 billion dollars, saying 34% of strategic cruise missile carriers at rf’s main airfields were hit. Satellite images show damaged Russian Tu-95 and Tu-22 bombers, which russia used in missile strikes on Ukraine.
The Russian Defense Ministry acknowledged the attacks on airfields in the Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo, Ryazan and Amur regions. The ministry said the attacks were repelled in the latter three regions, while in the Murmansk and Irkutsk regions several planes caught fire.
The attack boosted Ukrainians’ morale after months of relentless Russian pressure on the frontline and Moscow’s powerful missile and drone strikes. It also demonstrated that Kiev can hit targets deep in Russian territory up to 4,300 kilometers from the front line.
