The course of the operation was personally overseen by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The direct execution of the plan was carried out by SBU chief Vasyl Maliuk and the team of the Security Service of Ukraine.

According to sources, the operation was extremely complex from a logistical point of view. First, the SBU smuggled FPV drones into Russia, followed later by mobile wooden cabins. The drones were hidden under the roofs of these cabins, which were placed on trucks. At the right moment, the roofs were remotely opened, allowing the drones to take off and strike Russian bombers.

There are unique photos showing exactly how the drones were prepared for attacks on military airfields.

SBU sources emphasize that all participants of this historic operation have long since returned to Ukraine. So if the Russians stage any high-profile arrests, it will be nothing more than another performance for their domestic audience."

"The Russians geolocated the location where the drone containers were being assembled (https://t.me/lachentyt/51608) .

This is a private warehouse in Chelyabinsk, 4 km from the city center.

Interestingly, Chelyabinsk is very close to the border with Kazakhstan."

Ukrainian officials claimed the attack hit 41 aircraft, with at least 13 destroyed, including strategic bombers like Tu-95s and Tu-22M3s, and possibly an A-50 radar plane and an An-12 transport plane. The operation reportedly caused $7 billion in damage.

However, U.S. officials estimate a lower impact, suggesting around 20 warplanes were hit, with approximately 10 destroyed.

Satellite imagery confirms significant damage, particularly at Belaya Air Base, where seven bombers (likely four Tu-22M and three Tu-95) were destroyed, and at Olenya Air Base, where three Tu-95s and one An-12 were damaged or destroyed.

Russian sources downplay the losses, claiming no aircraft were destroyed, only damaged, and repairs are underway. They say 13-14 planes were hit, far less than Ukraine’s initial claims.

The exact number remains unconfirmed due to conflicting reports and limited clear imagery as only 2 airbases were clear from clouds with additional damage to others.

SBU also released another video of the attack.

================================

Russia has launched a manhunt for the couple behind Ukraine’s surprise drone attack on targets deep inside Russian territory. A former Ukrainian DJ is reportedly suspected of having orchestrated Ukraine’s audacious “Operation Spider’s Web” with the help of his wife, a tattoo artist.

A former Ukrainian DJ, identified as Artem Tymofieiev, is the Ukrainian secret agent who helped carry out Ukraine’s Sunday drone strikes on four Russian air bases.

The 37-year-old was born in the Ukrainian city of Zhytomyr and lived in Kyiv, where he reportedly owned a clothing brand with his wife — Ekaterina “Katya” Timofeeva.

Tymofieiev shifted to the Russian city of Chelyabinsk “several years ago”, Russian sources told.

There, he ran a haulage firm and his 34-year-old wife worked as a stylist and tattoo artist. She also moonlighted as an erotic writer and is believed to have aided her husband in Operation Spider’s Web.

The Ukrainian Secret Service smuggled 117 drones inside the roofs of wooden sheds, which were loaded onto trucks that were driven to the perimeter of the Russian air bases.

Tymofieiev owned the truck company in Chelyabinsk. His business was a perfect cover as it is not rare for Russian lorry drivers to cover long distances.

Tymofieiev’s trucks were driven to Olenya airbase in Murmansk, Belaya air base in the Irkutsk region of Siberia, and Diaghilev and Ivanov bases — all thousands of kilometres away from Chelyabinsk.

He hired four heavy goods drivers to transport what they thought were just “wooden framed houses” to various locations across Russia.

Two of the drivers reportedly told investigators that a man called Artem told them to transport “frame houses”, one went to the Murmansk region and another to Irkutsk.

When the drivers were close to the four Russian air bases, they received calls from an unknown number, using Russian SIM cards and Russian telecommunications networks. They were told where to stop the trucks.

And then began Operation Spider’s Web. Hundreds of explosive-laden drones simultaneously flew out of the trucks to hit Russian warplanes.

Russia is searching for the Ukrainian couple. “Artem is now wanted in connection with a terrorist attack in the Irkutsk region,” Russian online news sources reported.

“Four lorries were registered in his name, and one of them was the source of the drones that launched [in an attack on a Russian air base].”

Reports say Ekaterina, an erotic book writer, has not been online in two weeks and has since scrubbed her usually active social media accounts.

Her husband was last seen at the couple’s apartment in Chelyabinsk nearly a week ago.

So, where is the couple now? It remains uncertain. However, if the Ukrainian Secret Service is to be believed, everyone behind Operation Spider’s Web has been “in Ukraine for a long time”.

Ukraine struck a russian Su-35 fighter jet in russia’s border Kursk region on Saturday morning. The Ukrainian military reported that “as a result of a successful Air Force operation in the Kursk direction, a russian Su-35 fighter jet was shot down,” without giving further details.

The Air Force published aerial footage showing what it says is the downed jet, its wreckage in flames.

It’s not known where exactly the Su-35 was downed. A russian TG channel reported that the pilot survived the crash.

russia is believed to have lost seven Su-35's fighters since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine 2022. Su-35 is fourth-general fighters that is widely used in russia’s war of invasion.

Also they relocated two of their Tu-160 bombers to Anadyr, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, which is about 7,000 km from Ukraine because they are safer close to Alaska. There are no roads in or out of the area.

This whole operation was fucking amazing! Now they just need to the same to the fucking Kremlin!

Most of these cold war bombers aren't built anymore. Even minor hits most likely mean a service kill for that particular plane. Spare parts etc...everything isn't in production since decades. As far as I understood it, the bomber fleet was so far kept alive by canibalizing existing planes to keep a certain number of them operational as part of the nuclear triad and to launch cruise missiles into UKR. So quite a blow.

If you look at the railway network in this area, it becomes obvious that this is an important junction - it is used to supply the Kursk-Sumy sector of the front.

The strikes are aimed at destabilizing the logistics of the Russian Armed Forces in this direction.

Strikes on bridges & train infostructure is vital to Ukraine maintaining a stranglehold on specific areas & stop RAF accessing vital supplies.
