Ukraine's SBU Claims Major Strike Against Russian Strategic Aviation
Ukraine's Security Service Announces Successful Operation Against Russian Strategic Aviation In a significant development in the ongoing conflict, Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) announced a special operation codenamed "Spiderweb" that resulted in the destruction of Russian strategic aviation assets estimated to be worth \$7 billion. The operation, carried out on June 1st, 2025, reportedly targeted key air bases within Russia, successfully hitting 34% of strategic cruise missile carriers. A video released by a Ukrainian social media user shows maps and images of the damaged aircraft. While the SBU has promised to release further details at a later date, the scale of the operation suggests a significant blow to Russia's military capabilities. The impact on Russia's ability to launch long-range strikes remains to be seen. This operation underscores the ongoing effectiveness of Ukrainian special forces in disrupting the enemy's war effort. The success of "Spiderweb" is a testament to the resilience and determination of Ukraine in its fight for sovereignty. Further investigation is needed to fully verify the claims made in the video and the official SBU statement.
