REVEALED; Terrifying NEW Drones Putin CANT Stop as Ukraines Game Changing Tech HITS

Ukraine HITS More Than 40 Russian Warplanes in MASSIVE Drone Strikes - NEW Drones HIT From INSIDE Siberia


BBC 1 JUN 2025












The SBU source said Ukraine hid FPV drones in these objects that look like wooden shipping crates....


Ukraine hits more than 40 Russian bomber planes at a number of military airbases, in one of its most audacious drone attacks since the war began.

The sources said it took a year and a half to organise the strikes, drones hidden in wooden mobile cabins with remotely opening roofs had been placed on trucks brought near the airbases and then fired at the right time





Sources from Ukraines security service, SBU, told the BBC strategic bombers were burning en masse in an operation named Spiders Web, personally overseen by President Volodymyr Zelensky.


Russias military later confirmed Sundays Ukrainian attacks in five regions calling them a terrorist act

Meanwhile, Ukrainian authorities have reported a massive overnight drone and missile attack on its territory.

All this comes as Russian and Ukrainian negotiators are heading to Istanbul, Turkey, for a second round of peace talks on Monday. Expectations are low, as the two warring sides remain far apart on how to end the war.

Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Moscow currently controls about 20% of Ukrainian territory, including southern Crimea peninsula annexed in 2014.


BBC sources in the SBU said that four Russian airbases two of which are thousands of miles from Ukraine were hit;

Belaya in Irkutsk oblast region, Siberia
Olenya in Murmansk oblast, Russia's extreme north-west
Dyagilevo in central Ryazan oblast
Ivanovo in central Ivanovo oblast


Russia later said it faced attacks across sites in five regions.


The SBU sources said that among the hit Russian aircraft were strategic nuclear capable bombers called Tu-95 and Tu-22M3, as well as A-50 early warning warplanes.

They described the whole operation as extremely complex logistically


The SBU first smuggled FPV drones into Russia, followed later by mobile wooden cabins. Once on Russian territory, the drones were hidden under the roofs of these cabins, which had been placed on cargo vehicles, the sources said.

At the right moment, the roofs were remotely opened, and the drones took off to strike the Russian bombers.



Irkutsk Governor Igor Kobzev confirmed drones that attacked the Belaya military base in Sredniy, Siberia, were launched from a truck.

Kobzev posted on Telegram to say that the launch site had been secured and there was no threat to life.

Russian media outlets have also reported that other attacks were similarly started with drones emerging from the lorries.

One user is heard saying that the drones were flying out of a Kamaz truck near a petrol station.

The BBC sources in the SBU said that preliminary estimates suggest that the damage inflicted on Russian aviation exceeds $2bn

Russian media were reporting the attack in Murmansk but said air defences were working.....NOT....

The attack in Irkutsk was also being reported.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian authorities say 472 drones and seven ballistic and cruise missiles were involved in a wave of attacks on Ukraine last night.

This would appear to be one of the largest single Russian drone attacks so far. Ukraine says it neutralised 385 aerial targets.

In a separate development, Ukraines land forces said 12 of its military personnel were killed and more than 60 injured in a Russian missile strike on a training centre.




Ukraine did not notify US in advance of attacks on Russian bases for security reasons, Ukrainian official says...
