What is important to understand is that special operation "Web" is a large-scale and historic attack by SBU drones on Russian air bases on June 1, 2025.

Thanks to it, it was possible to destroy and damage at least 41 strategic aircraft, including the Tu-95, Tu-160, and A-50.

It is also worth noting that this is one of Ukraine's most successful air operations, which demonstrated Russia's vulnerability deep in the rear and reduced its ability to launch missile strikes.

"The destruction of enemy bombers is a task set before us by the President of Ukraine, Supreme Commander-in-Chief Volodymyr Zelensky. He personally supervised the course of the special operation, which was prepared by the Security Service officers," emphasized the head of the SBU, Vasyl Malyuk.
