Ukraine Says Its Drones Destroyed Warplanes Deep Inside Russia
KYIV—Ukrainian officials said its drones damaged more than 40 warplanes in attacks on four military airports in Russia's far east, a daring clandestine strike against Moscow's airborne capabilities. The attack, dubbed 'Spider's Web,' took a year and a half to prepare, officials at Ukraine's intelligence agency said on Sunday. Ukraine's drones targeted Russia's Belaya, Ivanovo, Dyagilevo and Olenya air bases, all of which house Russian military planes.

Slammed by Russian missiles, Ukraine seeks more U.S. air defense systems
KYIV — Ukraine is increasingly worried about securing more U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems, as stockpiles sent during the Biden administration are drying up and the new administration is resistant to sending more, according to six Ukrainian and Western officials. While Russia bombards Ukraine with drones and cruise missiles, it is the ballistic missiles that are the most feared, and they can only be reliably countered by Patriot missiles. Ballistic missiles travel several miles per second and they obliterated half of Ukraine's power capacity in strikes on power plants in 2023 and 2024.
