Spider’s Web — Ukraine Deep Strike Into Russia
On 1 June 2025, Ukraine successfully struck — operation code named “Spider’s Web” — a sophisticated, simultaneous, massive blow against Russian strategic air capabilities using 117 individually controlled FPV (first person view) attack drones hitting 5 Russian air bases including ones in eastern Siberia — more than 2600 miles from Ukraine — and astride the Russia – China border.
Ukrainian reports indicate the strike was more than 18 months in planning and caught the Russians completely by surprise.
