Dearils:The SSU reported that the video captures the drone travelling a significant distance, entering the airfield’s territory unimpeded, where smoke was already rising from another aircraft that had already been struck.

Background:

• Vasyl Maliuk, Head of the Security Service of Ukraine, reported that the operation, codenamed Pavutyna ("Spider’s Web"), caused over US$7 billion in damage, destroying or damaging 41 aircraft, including A-50 early warning planes, Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 strategic bombers, Tu-160 bombers, An-12 transport planes and Il-78 refuelling tankers.
• The North Atlantic Alliance hailed Ukraine's Operation Spider's Web targeting Russian strategic aircraft as highly successful.
• President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, commenting on operation Spider's Web, stated that the special services used exclusively Ukrainian weapons and did not use equipment from an allyʼs arsenal.
