🟢 At a Glance:
Ukraine just pulled off Call of Duty: Kyiv Edition. Over 40 Russian warplanes — including nuclear bombers — went kaboom in one of the boldest drone strikes ever. As Putin sulks and retaliates with missiles, peace talks in Istanbul are already DOA.
💥 What Actually Happened?
On June 1, 2025, Ukraine said:
“F*** it, let’s fly.”
And launched Operation Spider Web — a massive, coordinated drone attack deep inside Russian territory.
- 🎯 Targets: Russian air bases across Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo, and Ryazan
- 🚀 Damage Reported:
- ~40 aircraft destroyed/damaged, including:
- Tu-95 nuclear bombers (yeah, the big scary ones)
- Tu-22M bombers
- A-50 early warning aircraft (like Russia’s airborne eyes)
- 📍 Range: Over 1,000 km — meaning Ukraine just said, “Distance? Never heard of her.”
This was not just a strike. It was a full-blown declaration that Ukraine’s drone program has officially leveled up.
🔍 So What’s This “Spider Web” Thing?
🕸️ The op’s codename — Operation Spider Web — isn’t random.
- It reflects the multi-pronged nature of the attack
- Think dozens of drones, from different angles, all flying under radar
- Hitting strategic bases simultaneously
