Ukraine has destroyed 41 Russian fighter planes. According to the report of Ukrainian website Kiev Independent, Ukraine has targeted Olenya Air Base in Murmansk, Belaya Air Base in Irkutsk, Ivanovo Air Base in Ivanovo and Dyagilevo Air Base in Russia. Russia’s Belaya Air Base is more than 4 thousand km away from the Ukrainian border. It is located in Siberia region of Russia. According to the report, Ukraine’s Security Agency (SBU) carried out this attack, in which FPV (First-Person-View) drones were used. Strategic bombers like A-50, TU-95 and TU-22 were targeted in this. An SBU official said that they have carried out this attack in self-defense, as these Russian aircraft often drop bombs on Ukrainian cities. Russia has confirmed this attack. According to initial estimates, the cost of damage could be US $ 2 billion (more than Rs 17 thousand crores). This attack has happened at a time when peace talks are to be held in Istanbul on Monday and cross-border clashes have intensified. Four Russian airbases are far from Ukraine Fire broke out in Olenya airbase Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) said that their drones went far inside Russia and damaged large bombers like Tu-95, Tu-22 and expensive spy planes like A-50. A-50 planes are very rare, and Russia has only 10 such planes. The cost of one plane is said to be around 350 million dollars (3000 crores rupees). In this attack, the airbase named ‘Belaya’ was particularly targeted, which is in the Irkutsk region of Russia. At the same time, there have been reports of fire in ‘Olenya’ airbase as well, but it has not been officially confirmed yet. Aircraft like Tu-95 and Tu-160 are definitely old, but they can fly long distances and carry many missiles. They are counted among the most powerful weapons of the Russian Air Force. Shooting them down is being considered a big achievement for Ukraine. Ukraine said – If Russia does not stop, we will attack more The Ukrainian agency said that they carried out this attack so that Russia’s bombing could be stopped, because almost every night Russian planes attack Ukrainian cities. They hope that this attack would have caused a lot of damage to Russia. Ukraine has also said that its drone missions will continue in the future. Olenya Airbase is in the Murmansk region of Russia. The governor there said that the enemy drone attacked, but he also did not share much information. A video is viral on social media in which an FPV drone can be seen flying from a truck. Ukraine was preparing for one and a half years According to media reports, SBU was preparing for this attack for about 18 months. They named this operation ‘Spider Web’. This mission was being monitored by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky himself. At the same time, it was being done under the supervision of SBU Chief Vasil Maliuk. According to Ukrainian media reports, the drones were first secretly sent to Russia and then hidden under wooden cabins placed in lorries. When the attack was to be carried out, the drones were launched from these trucks. Axios, citing a Ukrainian official, said that Ukraine had informed the Trump administration about this before the attack. According to reports, many special things were involved in this operation
Russian Telegram channels shared footage in which some people were seen climbing on a truck and trying to stop the drone. Pictures from different military airbases in Russia showed burnt aircraft and fire, but the total damage has not been properly estimated yet. A video of a burning airbase in Voskresensk near Moscow also surfaced, in which a Russian soldier is saying – everything is ruined here. A viral video shows a drone destroying a Tu-95 fighter jet. The FPV drone, costing around Rs 40,000, stops near the plane and targets its tank. According to the British Ministry of Defense, Russia has about 40 Tu-95 fighter jets in 2025. It has 4 engines and is capable of carrying a lot of weapons. Ukraine had claimed to have built a drone that can fly 3000 km away
The governor of Irkutsk also confirmed that a drone attack took place on a military unit in the area. Apart from this, explosions on two rail bridges in Kursk and Bryansk areas of Russia also caused devastation. A passenger train derailed in Bryansk, killing at least 7 people and injuring many. A freight train also derailed in Kursk and its driver was injured. Both these areas are adjacent to the border of Ukraine. Apart from this, a drone attack has also taken place in the Murmansk region of Russia, which has been confirmed by the governor there. Ukraine had earlier claimed in March that it had built a new drone, which can fly up to a distance of 3,000 kilometers, but not much information was given about it. Russia’s biggest drone attack on Ukraine
Just hours before the attack on the Russian airbase in Ukraine, Russia had carried out its biggest drone attack on Ukraine. The Ukrainian Air Force said that Russia simultaneously sent 472 drones over Ukraine, which is the largest number so far. Along with this, Russia also fired seven missiles. This information was given by Yuri Ignat, the head of communications of the Ukrainian Air Force. Ignat said that the military training unit was attacked with missiles and drones, in which at least 12 soldiers were killed. At the same time, more than 60 were injured. The place where the attack took place is 1000 km from the border. Still, Russian drones managed to attack there. According to reports, the Ukrainian army is already facing a shortage of soldiers and now it is taking more caution to avoid large crowds, as Russian drones are constantly monitoring the sky and looking for an opportunity to attack. The Ukrainian Ground Forces said that this incident will be investigated. He said that if the investigation reveals that the loss was due to the mistake or negligence of any officer, then he would be given severe punishment. …………………………………………… Read this news related to the Russia-Ukraine war too… US President angry with attacks on Ukraine: Trump warned Putin, said- Russia is still saved only because of me US President Donald Trump has warned Russian President Vladimir Putin.
