Ukraine has launched what appears to be its largest drone-based operation to date, striking two key Russian air bases that house strategic bombers used in long-range attacks against Ukrainian cities.

The June 1 attack targeted the Olenya and Belaya airfields deep inside Russian territory, Ukrainian sources confirmed.

According to information released by Ukrainian officials, the operation involved swarms of FPV drones remotely launched from vehicles positioned near the airfields. These mobile platforms were reportedly parked within proximity of the targets, enabling direct line-of-sight control for precise navigation and terminal attack.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) is overseeing the effort as part of an ongoing special operation code-named “Pavutyna” — or “Web” — aimed at degrading Russia’s long-range strike capabilities.

“This is a coordinated effort to eliminate enemy aircraft that continue to attack our civilian infrastructure on a nightly basis,” [/b]a Ukrainian official familiar with the operation said.

Ukrainian sources claim the drone assault [b]damaged or destroyed over 40 aircraft, including Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 bombers, as well as at least one A-50 airborne early warning aircraft. Publicly released footage shows burning Tu-95 bombers on airfield aprons, with secondary explosions visible in multiple locations.


Open-source videos filmed by local residents appear to confirm the timing and location of the strikes. Later in the day, Ukrainian defense channels released additional visual evidence showing smoldering Russian aircraft engulfed in flames.

The scale of the damage has not been independently verified, but estimates from Ukrainian sources put Russian losses above $2 billion. If confirmed, this would represent the most damaging strike on Russia’s strategic aviation assets since the full-scale invasion began in 2022.

The Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 bombers struck in the raid are among the primary platforms used by Russian Aerospace Forces to launch cruise missiles into Ukrainian cities. Their destruction could temporarily disrupt Russia’s ability to conduct deep strikes from standoff range.

Haha. Funny how Writerng and Putin’s other propagandists are staying quiet about this.
What an embarrassment for Russia. Imagine failing so badly against Ukraine that they’re now running intel ops and precision strikes inside Russian bases. 😂😂

This reminds me of the pager attacks on Hezbollah. Russia is on its knees, weak, overrated, and crumbling. Plain and simple. Major props to the SBU for pulling this off.

Next-level humiliation for Putin. How do you let your base get hit like this? Is this the "mighty Russia" they’re always bragging about? 😂😂

Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦

Quit crying boy. Did Ukraine ever invade Russia and massacre civilians? Didn’t think so.

What even is Palestine? A made-up fantasy land that never existed in history. When was there ever a Palestinian state? Who ruled it? What was its capital, its currency, its borders? None of that exists because it’s a fake narrative pushed by Arab settlers who stole the land and now play victim.

Why does no historical map or empire ever show it as a sovereign nation?
How come every time someone digs in the region, they find Jewish history, not "Palestinian" heritage?
😂😂

"Palestine" is just a modern propaganda term for Arab invaders who hate Israel’s existence. Funny how that works.

Since putin dont want to agree to Donald Trump's ceasefire deal Trump would be left with no choice than to continue giving out strategic intelligence to Ukrainians forces.

Did you also tell your gullible ers that the launches were made from a parked truck inside Russia and not from Ukraine?

If anything it shows Ukraine/NATO now lacks capabilities to hurt Russia from their own territories.

They now have to look for ways to sneak them inside Russia like Boko Haram, ISIS, ISWAP and other ragtag terror groups.

The biggest blunder from Putin was allowing fleeing Ukranians to settle in Russia.

And allowing other migrants from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan.

Which is more shameful. Sneaking them inside Russia or striking Russia from Ukraine territory?😂😂😂

Anyone can be used to sneak them inside Russia or in any other country. That's the easiest thing to do.

These are ordinary drones that can be purchased even online.

Putin's senseless invasion of Ukraine has ridiculed Russia and exposed Russia's perceived military might as a mere myth.



The only time Russia was a truly strong nation was when it was still USSR and Ukraine happened to be the reason for USSR's military strength even though most of the USSR's nuclear warheads and military intelligence were domiciled mostly in today's Russia

All the lands occupied by Russian forces must go back to Ukraine according to the latest Intel.

Putin is actually fighting a war that he can't win no matter how long it takes.

Donald trump may be an idiot but he got this right. Few days ago, Donald Trump in apparent frustration with Russia's unwillingness to enter peace negotiations, removed all restrictions placed on Ukraine preventing them from striking deep in Russian territory. These strikes are a result of that.

Ukraine drove a truck deep into Russia and released around 150 FPV drones. There was no Russian response.
Outside its nuclear arsenal, I'm not sure Russia can defeat even Niger at this point. Russia's incompetence is becoming sad.

Yes I read it elsewhere.
Saw pictures and videos.

It was massive indeed.

Russia is not yet ready to face reality.

The earlier it starts serious negotiations the better for it.

It can't win this war as it wants to believe.
