On June 1, 2025, Ukraine bravely used well-planned drone attacks to go deep into Russian territory. They have destroyed more than 40 important Russian aircraft at several air bases. This was a military operation that had never been done before. It took more than a year and a half to get 117 drones ready for the operation, which was called "spider web" by the president of Ukraine.

Deadly Drone Attack on Russia

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) attacked four Russian military airfields in the oblasts of Irkutsk, Murmansk, Ryazan, and Ivanovo. 117 first-person view (FPV) drones were brought into Russia, hidden in sheds made of wood and trucks near the airbases. At the set time, the drones were launched from a distance and hit Russian planes, such as Tu-95 and Tu-22 bombers and A-50 radar detection planes.

In a tweet Zelenskyy mention that.

The attack destroyed 34 percent of Russia's cruise missile carriers and severely damaged over 40 aircraft. Ukrainian officials emphasized the operation's complexity, noting it took 18 months to plan and execute. Videos released by Ukrainian sources confirm the scale of the damage.

Russia confirmed the attacks and called them "terrorist acts." However, fires were seen at airbases in Murmansk and Irkutsk. Some Russian commentators have called the operation "Russia's Pearl Harbor."

Donald Trump's Peace Initiative Falls Flat

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has urged Russia and Ukraine to prevent enmity and pursue peace talks. However, their conversations have fallen to a large extent on deaf ears, while increasing military functions from both sides. Russia wants to start new peace talks in Istanbul, but Kyiv has not asked to ensure whether or not it will go.

Recent drone strikes suggest that Ukraine is firm in maintaining its aggressive operation. This means that with the bad war, diplomatic efforts will face major problems.

Russia-Ukraine War

Russia and Ukraine have been at war since 2022. It has evolved from traditional war and cyberattacks to more advanced drone operations. Russia originally invaded Ukraine concerning security concerns, but the invasion sparked resistance.

The conflict, which has seen both military and diplomatic actions from other countries, has killed many people from both sides. New developments in drone warfare have changed military strategy, such as the "Spider's Web" operation. These changes show how important technology and intelligence are in today's war.
