In a spectacular military and propganda coup, Ukraine has carried out an audacious attack on Russia’s airforce, using drones to destroy as many as 40 warplanes at military bases across the country.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said 117 drones were used in the so-called "Spider’s Web" operation by the SBU security service. They were smuggled into Russia hidden in wooden mobile cabins, moved close to the airbases, then launched by remote control. Ukrainian sources told BBC News it had taken 18 months to plan and carry out the operation.
Russia confirmed the Ukrainian attacks, calling them a "terrorist act". Ukraine claims it caused $7bn in damage and destroyed many of Russia’s strategic bomber aircraft.
