Ukraine’s Operation Spider’s Web: Russia Suffers ‘Trojan Horse’ Moment in Massive Attack | Explained

In a historic deep-strike operation dubbed ‘Operation Spider’s Web’, Ukraine unleashed a covert FPV drone swarm targeting five Russian airbases deep inside enemy territory. Planned for over 18 months, drones were hidden inside wooden cabins, smuggled across borders, and launched remotely in broad daylight. With over 41 strategic bombers destroyed, including rare Tu-22M3 and Tu-95 aircraft, analysts are calling this Russia’s ‘Trojan Horse’ moment. Ukraine claims $7 billion in damage, with footage revealing dramatic explosions. The attack marks a new era in drone warfare, reshaping future combat strategies. #UkraineRussiaWar #OperationSpidersWeb #TrojanHorseAttack #FPVDrones #UkraineDroneStrike #DroneWarfare #RussiaAirbases #Zelensky #UkrainianDrones #RussianBombers #MilitaryAttack #StrategicBombers #MountingTensions #Geopolitics #ModernWarfare #WarUpdate #UkraineStrike #Tu22M3 #Tu95 #DroneInvasion Also Read Drone Attack on Srinagar Airport Thwarted as Blasts Occur in Jammu and South Kashmir :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/drone-attack-srinagar-airport-thwarted-jammu-kashmir-011-4148943.html?ref=DMDesc Italy Releases Iranian Citizen Mohammad Abedini Wanted by US for Drone Attack in Jordan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/italy-releases-iranian-citizen-us-warrant-drone-attack-jordan-011-4040703.html?ref=DMDesc Drone Targets Israeli Prime Minister's House as Strikes in Gaza Result in Over 50 Casualties :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/drone-targets-israeli-prime-minister-house-gaza-strikes-011-3965047.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~
