The Ukrainian "Spiderweb" operation utilising drones on Russian military airfields opens new strategic opportunities, according to the Ukrainian agency Unian's portal. Military expert Anatoliy Khrapchynski notes that the military can advance further and use drones to attack Satan or Yars missile complexes.

The drone strikes on Russian air force bases weaken Moscow’s ability to wage war on its neighbor and undermine its capacity to threaten more distant rivals.

KYIV, Ukraine — The covert operation was described as one for the “history books” by Ukraine’s president. In the span of a few hours on Sunday, nearly a third of Moscow’s strategic bomber fleet was destroyed or damaged with cheaply made drones sneaked into Russian territory, according to Ukrainian officials.
