Ukraine’s Operation Spider’s Web: Russia Suffers ‘Trojan Horse’ Moment in Massive Attack | Explained
In a historic deep-strike operation dubbed ‘Operation Spider’s Web’, Ukraine unleashed a covert FPV drone swarm targeting five Russian airbases deep inside enemy territory.
Planned for over 18 months, drones were hidden inside wooden cabins, smuggled across borders, and launched remotely in broad daylight.
With over 41 strategic bombers destroyed, including rare Tu-22M3 and Tu-95 aircraft, analysts are calling this Russia’s ‘Trojan Horse’ moment.
Ukraine claims $7 billion in damage, with footage revealing dramatic explosions.
The attack marks a new era in drone warfare, reshaping future combat strategies.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has vowed to block the EU’s new budget plan, refusing to support additional funding for Ukraine’s war effort. Orbán slammed the proposal as a “budget of hopelessness,” arguing it would harm European farmers, blackmail Hungary, and waste resources on a conflict Ukraine cannot win. He warned that 20–25% of the EU’s upcoming budget would directly go to Ukraine, leaving Europe weaker and divided. As Brussels pushes for unity, Orbán insists Ukraine should remain a partner, not a full EU member.

Ukraine has received 49 Australian M1A1 Abrams tanks, significantly strengthening its armored fleet against Russian forces. Delayed for months due to U.S. clearance issues, these refurbished Abrams bring advanced firepower, superior Chobham armor, and cutting-edge targeting systems far beyond Russia’s Soviet-era T-72s. Equipped with anti-drone screens and explosive-reactive armor, they enhance survivability against modern battlefield threats. The arrival of these tanks allows Ukraine to replenish losses, support Leopard 2 and Challenger 2 fleets, and regain offensive momentum to break Russian strongholds on the ground.

A horrifying Russian drone attack hit Ukraine’s Black Sea port city of Odesa early Saturday, igniting a towering apartment block, killing one resident and injuring six, including a child. The aerial assault, part of a broader overnight onslaught, saw over 300 drones and 30 missiles launched across 10 Ukrainian regions.
Ukrainian President Zelensky described the assault as relentless and pleaded for urgent air defense support, as power outages and fires spread. The Odesa mayor confirmed over 20 drones targeted the city, setting homes ablaze and sending families fleeing. As the world watches, former U.S. President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric against Russia, warning of harsher sanctions. With thousands already dead in the war, the latest strike highlights Ukraine’s desperation for international aid and a ramp-up in domestic defense production. Dramatic images show parents rescuing children wrapped in blankets—Ukraine burns while the world debates.

President Trump was not informed in advance about Ukraine’s bold drone offensive—Operation Spiderweb—which targeted four Russian air bases and damaged over 40 bombers. The White House, via Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, confirmed Trump’s exclusion following reports from Axios and Ukrainian officials. The June 1 operation, coordinated by Ukraine’s Security Service using smuggled FPV drones, struck deep within Russian territory. The revelation raises key questions about U.S.-Ukraine intelligence sharing and Trump’s role in global security decisions as he heads into the 2024 election spotlight.

Ukraine launched a record-breaking drone offensive on June 1, destroying 41 Russian aircraft across two distant airbases. Dubbed Russia’s “Pearl Harbour moment,” the covert operation used over 100 drones from modified containers, striking Tu-95s, Tu-22s, and A-50s with precision. Ukraine claims full responsibility to avoid NATO blowback. The attack precedes the second peace talks in Istanbul and underscores a dramatic shift in warfare — the drone era. Russia has retaliated with 400 drones and issued veiled nuclear threats amid mounting strategic losses.

In its most daring drone offensive yet, Ukraine struck deep inside Russia on Sunday, targeting a military base in Siberia’s Irkutsk region and reportedly destroying over 40 aircraft, including Tu-95, Tu-22M3 bombers and an A-50 surveillance plane. The drone attack, confirmed by Russian officials, marks the first Ukrainian strike in Siberia. Code-named “Pavutyna” (Web), the special operation was conducted by Ukraine's SBU to degrade Russia’s long-range strike abilities. Amid the fallout, Ukraine and Russia are also preparing for fresh talks in Istanbul focused on a ceasefire and prisoner return.
