The Ukrainian military has reportedly carried out a successful drone attack on a Russian airbase, destroying dozens of bombers and fighter jets.
There have been reports that up to 40 Russian military aircraft may have been hit in the attack carried out on the special operation by the Security Service of Ukraine.
The A-50, Tu-95 and Tu-22 aircraft are reportedly among those hit, causing Russia over $2 billion in damage.
The special operation is said to be called the "Spider Network", and targeted the strategic air base in Olenya, Russia. Just two days ago, the media reported that the Russian military had moved a number of bomber and transport aircraft to this base.
