Russian Defence Ministry confirms drone attacks on five military airfields
Russia's Defence Ministry has confirmed that first-person view (FPV) drones were used to attack military airfields in five regions, blaming the "Kyiv regime" for the strikes. Source: a statement by the Russian Defence Ministry Details: The airfields targeted in the attack were located in Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo, Ryazan and Amur oblasts. The defence ministry claimed that drone attacks on the airfields in Ivanovo, Ryazan and Amur oblasts had been repelled. However, the Russians noted that the drones caused fires that damaged several aircraft. The fires are said to have been extinguished, with no casualties among personnel or civilians. The defence ministry also claimed that several individuals involved in the "terrorist attack" had been detained, although no further details regarding their identities or affiliations were provided. Background: On the afternoon of 1 June, multiple Russian strategic bombers caught fire after Ukraine's Security Service launched drone strikes on Russian airfields, with early estimates suggesting that 40 aircraft were damaged. Russian news agencies and propagandists later claimed that the drones had been launched from lorries parked at a petrol station. A special operation by Ukraine's Security Service, codenamed Pavutyna (Web), which struck 41 Russian strategic aircraft, was later revealed to have taken over 18 months to prepare.

Special Ukrainian operation targets more than 40 'enemy bombers' deep inside Russia, source says
Ukraine hit more than 40 Russian bomber aircraft at four bases across Russia, using drones smuggled into the country and launched remotely off the back of trucks, security sources said. It is one of the most audacious Ukrainian special operations since the start of Vladimir Putin's war more than three years ago - and is a huge breach of Russia's national defences. The targeting of the bomber force will degrade the Russian military's ability to launch missile strikes against Ukraine. Ukraine war: Videos shared with Sky News by Ukraine's SBU Security Service purport to show a line of Russian strategic bombers with smoke billowing out of them. "Enemy strategic bombers are massively burning in Russia - this is the result of a special SBU operation," a security source said. The operation - codenamed "web" - sounds more like a plot from a science fiction movie than reality, but it shows how new technology has transformed the battlefield. It also reveals the vulnerability of large bases and expensive pieces of military equipment. A security source said Ukrainian operatives smuggled first-person view (FPV) drones into Russia. They then brought in a load of wooden, flat-pack, garden office-style containers. These huts were constructed, with the drones hidden inside them, before being put on to the back of trucks and driven to locations from where the attacks were launched. At the right moment, hatches on the roofs of the huts were opened remotely, and the drones were piloted onto their targets, according to the source.

Sources said the individuals who took part in this special operation have been back in Ukraine for a long time. They claimed that anyone detained in Russia by the Russian authorities would be just for show. Offering details of the actual attack, a second source said: "Right now, the Security Service of Ukraine is conducting a large-scale special operation to destroy enemy bombers in the rear of Russia. "The SBU drones are targeting aircraft that bomb Ukrainian cities every night. So far, more than 40 planes have been hit, including A-50, Tu-95 and Tu-22 M3." The Tu-95 and Tu-22 are both heavy bombers that can fire cruise missiles. At least one of the videos shared with Sky News is purportedly of the Belaya airfield, more than 2,500 miles from the Ukrainian border. Sources claimed to have inflicted more than $2bn (£1.4bn) worth of damage on the Russian air force. "We are waiting for the details. And we hope that the number of hit aircraft will increase!" one source said. The latest toll was 41 aircraft, according to Ukrainian sources. The other Russian airbases targeted by Ukraine were: Diagilevo, Olenya and Ivanovo airfields.
