SBU attack on Russian airfields on June 1
The Security Service of Ukraine conducted Operation Spiderweb, aimed at defeating Russian strategic aviation. As a result, 34% of Russia's strategic cruise missile carriers were hit. The airfields under attack were Olenya, Belaya, Diagilevo and Ivanovo.
Our source said that the operation had been prepared for over a year and a half. For this purpose, the SBU first sent FPV drones to Russia, and later mobile wooden sheds. Drones were later hidden under the roofs of these sheds. At the beginning of the operation, the roofs of the sheds were remotely opened, and the drones were launched.
