Drone Strike on Siberian Airbase: Video Shows Alleged Destruction of 40+ Russian Aircraft

A purported video circulating online shows a daring Ukrainian drone strike on a Siberian airbase, allegedly destroying over 40 Russian aircraft capable of carrying nuclear weapons. The attack, codenamed "Spiderweb," took place over 4,000 kilometers from the front lines of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, highlighting the expanding reach of the war. The video shows several explosions and significant fire damage at the airbase. The Russian Ministry of Defense has confirmed damage to aircraft and fires at five airbases in the Irkutsk region, near the Mongolian border. While the video's authenticity is yet to be independently verified, its circulation underscores the escalating conflict and the potential for long-range attacks. Further investigation is needed to confirm the details and assess the full implications of this alleged incident. A spokesperson for the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense declined to comment directly on the video, stating only that "Ukraine's military is constantly developing new tactics and strategies to defend itself against Russian aggression."
