BREAKING NEWS: SBU drones hit 41 Russian aircraft, special operation prepared for over a year and a half, – sources

President Volodymyr Zelensky personally supervised the progress of the operation.

The special operation “Web”, as a result of which the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) destroyed 41 Russian strategic aviation aircraft , was prepared for more than a year and a half.

As UNIAN sources in the special service reported, the course of the operation was personally supervised by President Volodymyr Zelensky, and the plan was implemented by the head of the SBU Vasyl Malyuk and the Service staff.

According to the source, this operation was extremely complex from a logistical point of view. Thus, the SBU first sent FPV drones to Russia, and then mobile wooden houses. Later, on the territory of the Russian Federation, the drones were hidden under the roofs of the houses, which were already placed on trucks. At the right moment, the roofs of the houses were opened remotely, and the drones flew to hit Russian bombers.

The sources also provided unique photographs showing exactly how the drones were prepared for an attack on Russian military airfields.

The SBU interlocutors emphasized that the people who took part in this historic special operation have long since returned to Ukraine. Therefore, if the Putin regime demonstratively detains someone, it will be another production for the domestic audience.

As UNIAN reported, the SBU conducted a large-scale special operation to destroy enemy bomber aircraft in the rear of the Russian Federation. In particular, the special service worked today at four military airfields of the Russian Federation at once. The “cotton-dough” was carried out at the airfields “Belaya”, “Dyagilevo”, “Olenya” and “Ivanovo”.

Earlier it was reported that more than 40 aircraft were hit , including A-50, Tu-95 and Tu-22 M3. The unique special operation was named “Web”. The enemy aircraft have been preliminarily damaged to the tune of $2 billion.

Clash Report wrote that this attack is evidence of a complete failure to ensure the security of Russia’s strategic airfields. “No hangars, no obstacles, no armed guards. Massive losses,” the report noted.

It is also noted that in terms of economic efficiency, Ukraine’s sabotage operation has no equal. Thus, if one Ukrainian FPV drone can cost only $300-$600, then, for example, a modernized Russian strategic bomber Tu-95MS costs more than $100 million.
