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.

France has rejected NATO’s new U.S.-led initiative to fund American weapons for Ukraine, dealing a blow to Trump’s arms plan. President Macron insists Europe must reduce dependency and prioritize its own defense industry. French officials cite budget constraints and strategic autonomy as key reasons. The move deepens a rift within NATO, with the Czech Republic and Hungary also opting out. Germany, however, backs the plan, warning that only U.S. supplies can meet Ukraine’s urgent battlefield needs against Russia’s continued offensive.

President Trump was not informed in advance about Ukraine’s bold drone offensive—Operation Spiderweb—which targeted four Russian air bases and damaged over 40 bombers. The White House, via Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, confirmed Trump’s exclusion following reports from Axios and Ukrainian officials. The June 1 operation, coordinated by Ukraine’s Security Service using smuggled FPV drones, struck deep within Russian territory. The revelation raises key questions about U.S.-Ukraine intelligence sharing and Trump’s role in global security decisions as he heads into the 2024 election spotlight.

Ukraine launched a record-breaking drone offensive on June 1, destroying 41 Russian aircraft across two distant airbases. Dubbed Russia’s “Pearl Harbour moment,” the covert operation used over 100 drones from modified containers, striking Tu-95s, Tu-22s, and A-50s with precision. Ukraine claims full responsibility to avoid NATO blowback. The attack precedes the second peace talks in Istanbul and underscores a dramatic shift in warfare — the drone era. Russia has retaliated with 400 drones and issued veiled nuclear threats amid mounting strategic losses.

In its most daring drone offensive yet, Ukraine struck deep inside Russia on Sunday, targeting a military base in Siberia’s Irkutsk region and reportedly destroying over 40 aircraft, including Tu-95, Tu-22M3 bombers and an A-50 surveillance plane. The drone attack, confirmed by Russian officials, marks the first Ukrainian strike in Siberia. Code-named “Pavutyna” (Web), the special operation was conducted by Ukraine's SBU to degrade Russia’s long-range strike abilities. Amid the fallout, Ukraine and Russia are also preparing for fresh talks in Istanbul focused on a ceasefire and prisoner return.
