Ukraine attacked the Russian airbase very cleverly under ‘Operation Spiderweb’ and destroyed the planes that were dropping bombs. Russia has suffered a loss of $ 2 billion in this attack. This attack was planned for a year and a half, and then it was executed with precision. Drones launched from trucks attacked 4 Russian airbases including Olenya and Belaya. After the attack, many Russian planes burned to ashes. The airbase has suffered heavy damage. More than 40 planes were damaged in the Ukrainian drone attack. Video footage of the attack has surfaced. According to Ukrainian media reports, this attack was the largest drone attack by the Ukrainian army so far. Ukraine has specifically targeted the base that Russia was using to bomb it. Ukraine says that this is the same plane that frequently flies and drops bombs on Ukraine. On the other hand, the Russian Ministry of Defense has confirmed the attack. Russia said that all attacks have been thwarted.
An official from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) said that its drones were able to penetrate deep into Russian territory and damage large bombers such as the Tu-95, Tu-22 and the expensive A-50 reconnaissance aircraft.
The SBU said that the attack took place at Belaya airbase, which is located in a remote area of Irkutsk in Russia. Apart from this, there are reports of a fire at Olenya airbase, but this has not been officially confirmed yet.
These aircraft are very important for Russia. Like the Tu-95, it is an old aircraft from the 1950s, but it is still capable of carrying some cruise missiles, which can target distant cities. In which large rotating propellers are installed instead of jet engines, and these can go over long distances.
