A recent operation by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU), code-named "Spider Web," has reportedly destroyed between 10 and 13 Russian aircraft while damaging approximately 40 others, according to NATO intelligence cited by Meduza.
A senior NATO official revealed that among the destroyed planes was one linked to over 3,000 cruise missile strikes targeting Ukrainian civilian and critical infrastructure since the war began.
On June 1, Ukraine launched a major drone assault on Russian strategic air bases as part of the operation. A BBC source estimated the attack caused around $2 billion in damages.
