Ukraine Destroyed Warplanes Deep Inside Russia

[Tennessee Hillbilly]

Source: Political Wire and WSJ

“Ukraine launched audacious drone attacks on four military airports inside Russia, destroying more than 40 warplanes in the biggest blow of the war against Moscow’s long-range bomber fleet,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The attack, dubbed ‘Spider’s Web,’ took a year and a half to prepare, officials at Ukraine’s main security and intelligence agency, the SBU, said on Sunday. Ukraine’s drones targeted Russia’s Belaya, Ivanovo, Dyagilevo and Olenya air bases, all of which house Russian military planes.”

“The bombardment is a significant victory for Ukraine’s deep-strike program, which uses drones to target crucial materiel on Russia’s soil.”

4. Ruzzia kills civilians with drones. Ukraine kills bombers with drones...This is amazing...

Somehow Ukraine snuck FPV drones in shipping container close to the air bases deep inside ruzzia, Launched them and did the dirty work...Fantastic planning and execution...
These bombers are used to launch cruise missiles and smart bombs against civilians and infrastructure. This will curtail the bombing...
Reports say a ruzzian sub base was also hit.. Good job..Slava Ukraine!!

💥 OPERATION SPIDERWEB: Russia lost over 36% of its strategic bomber fleet on June 1st, 2025.
Over $7 billion in damage but more importantly the aircraft are irreplaceable in the medium term.

🕸️ Zelensky: SBU operation Spiderweb to destroy the Russian strategic bomber fleet achieved an absolutely brilliant result and will go down in history books.

8. "... Ukraine secretly transported wooden mobile cabins into Russia, disguising FPV drones beneath their roofs."

I know little about strategy of modern warfare--but this looks like a GRAND hit by Ukraine!!

BREAKING: Ukraine Just Pulled Off One of the Most Daring Strikes in Modern Warfare

In what can only be described as a stunning act of covert military ingenuity, Ukraine has reportedly struck 41 Russian bombers across four separate air bases, some located as far as 4,400 kilometers from Ukraine's borders.

According to reports, Ukraine secretly transported wooden mobile cabins into Russia, disguising FPV drones beneath their roofs. These cabins were mounted on trucks and parked in position, hidden in plain sight.

When the signal was given, the roofs remotely swung open like something out of a sci-fi film. And then?

Dozens of drones launched straight from the trucks, flying directly into the heart of Russia’s strategic air power, obliterating bombers that the Kremlin can’t even produce anymore due to sanctions and critical shortages.

The implications are staggering. This kind of operation, conducted this deep inside enemy territory, using mobile disguised platforms, has never been done before. Not at this scale. Not with this level of impact.

Russia just lost a significant chunk of its long-range bomber fleet. And unlike missiles, bombers aren’t quickly replaceable.

10. The idiots at Newsweek are calling it "Russia's Pearl Harbor"

This negates the fact that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor without declaring war on an unsuspecting country. Russia has been indiscriminately bombing Ukraine for over 3 years and Ukraine is defending itself by taking out the Russian bomber fleet.

13. I know where there's a free plane available. Maybe *rump can get it refitted as a bomber at our expense.

Then he can gift it to his best buddy Pootie.

20. The Russians are attempting to frame this attack as

"Pearl Harbor for Russia." It's not.

The major difference: The U.S. was not at war when it was attacked at Pearl Harbor. The Russians invaded Ukraine in 2014 and have been attempting to genocide the country ever since. Ukraine has every right to defend itself by fighting back.

15. Absolute genius on the part of the Ukrainians!!

My hat goes off and a big congratulations to those who patiently planned, over a year and half, to successfully embarrass Putin. There must be blood vessels popping in the Kremlin and the White House.



Slava Ukraini!! Heroyam Slava!! Slava Na Viki!!

18. Photo.......the drones were hidden under the roofs of mobile wooden cabins, already placed on trucks.

The SBU first transported FPV drones to Russia, and later, on the territory of the Russian Federation, the drones were hidden under the roofs of mobile wooden cabins, already placed on trucks.

19. Brilliant move!

But now the Russians will check through every shipment coming across the border. They won't make this mistake again. Therefore Ukraine needs to stay one step ahead and find another way to get their drones into Russia for the next launch.
