Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has confirmed that a series of FPV drone attacks on Russian airbases, called Operation Spider Web, led to the destruction of 34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers—effectively wiping out one-third of the air-based component of Russia’s nuclear triad.

Russia has begun deploying a more advanced version of its glide bomb system that can now strike targets nearly 100 kilometers from the launch point, expanding the threat range to include all of Kharkiv, Sumy, and areas further south.

Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine has seen the frequent deployment of combat aviation—including one of its most advanced attack helicopters, the Ka-52 Alligator. Despite its fearsome armament and modern onboard systems, the helicopter has suffered substantial losses at the hands of Ukrainian forces.
