"Spiderweb" Shocks Moscow's Skies - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD [View all]



In a stunning raid dubbed "Operation Spiderweb," Ukraine’s drones devastated Russian airbases deep inside Russian territory, crippling Moscow’s 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.
