Ukraine's Audacious Drone Strike: 100 Drones Destroy Russian Bombers

A surprise drone strike deep inside Russia has destroyed up to a third of its long-range bomber aircraft, according to Ukrainian officials. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the attack, stating it was part of a prolonged operation called "Spider's Web" involving over 100 small drones. Video footage released by Ukraine shows the moment of impact, and the aftermath of the attack. Security consultant James Lewis, a drone warfare expert, noted the impressive level of sophistication in the attack, highlighting the ability to get so close to heavily guarded strategic airfields. A senior defense official told CBS News that the assault demonstrates an unprecedented level of military sophistication. The attack is expected to provoke a retaliatory response from Russia, raising concerns about further escalation in the ongoing conflict. The use of commercially available drones in such a bold attack also has implications for future warfare.
