Ukraine's SBU Claims Major Success in Targeting Russian Airbases. On June 2, 2025, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) announced a successful operation codenamed "Spiderweb," targeting several Russian airbases. The operation, confirmed by SBU head Vasyl Malyuk, resulted in significant damage to strategic bombers, estimated at over \$7 billion. Malyuk described the operation as "extremely complex logistically," spanning three time zones. Satellite images released by analyst Chris Biggers show extensive damage at the Belaya airbase in Irkutsk Oblast. "This was not just a strike; it was a serious blow to the enemy's capabilities and their terroristic potential," Malyuk stated. The operation underscores Ukraine's ongoing efforts to counter Russian aggression. The event highlights the evolving nature of modern warfare and the role of intelligence and precision strikes.
