Hold onto your seats, global news fam—Ukraine just dropped a major update in its ongoing conflict with Russia. Kyiv claims it executed its biggest long-range attack yet this weekend, deploying 117 smuggled drones in an operation codenamed Spider’s Web. The target? Four Russian military bases housing strategic bombers. 💥
The Spider’s Web Operation
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the strike a game-changer, stating it hit 34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers. Picture this: drones buzzing through the night sky like something out of a spy thriller, targeting Tu-95 bombers (the same planes used in recent attacks on Ukrainian cities). 🕸️
Russia Pushes Back
But wait—Moscow isn’t having it. Pro-Kremlin Telegram channels like @warfakes argue Ukraine "wildly exaggerated" the damage. Their take? Only two bombers and a transport plane were destroyed, with most damaged aircraft expected to return to service after repairs. 🛠️
As tensions escalate, one thing’s clear: drone warfare is rewriting the rules of modern combat. Stay tuned for updates as this high-stakes tech showdown unfolds. 🔍
