Related: About this forum"Spiderweb" Shocks Moscow's Skies - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD
In a stunning raid dubbed "Operation Spiderweb," Ukraines drones devastated Russian airbases deep inside Russian territory, crippling Moscows strategic bombing fleet. Over 40 bombers and a vital airborne-early-warning jet were reported damaged or destroyed, marking a serious blow to Russian air power. Beyond the immediate destruction, the strike redefines military strategy by exposing the fact that deep rear bases can no longer be considered safe havens. The meticulously planned attack highlights the vulnerabilities of even major military powers to cheap, remote-controlled drones. Join us on Eastern Express as we explore how this operation might forever change the face of warfare.

Wow. *Operation Spiderweb* is more than just a tactical win its a loud wake-up call to every so-called superpower. Ukraine just proved that billion-dollar bombers can be taken out by drones that cost less than a used car. This isnt just a strike its a full-on rewrite of military playbooks. No base is safe. No fleet is untouchable. And no one expected Ukraine to flip the script like this. 👏
Were witnessing the birth of a new warfare era one where agility and creativity trump brute force.
