Ukrainian Air Force Achieves 85% Drone Interception

Disruption of Russian Naval Operations

During a recent overnight sweep, the Ukrainian Air Force managed to neutralize 45 of the 53 drones released by Russian forces. In tandem, Ukrainian naval units carried out operations that resulted in the sinking of several Russian warships within the Black Sea, striking a blow to Moscow’s maritime capabilities.

“Spiderweb” Strike on Long‑Range Bomber Bases

On 1 June, Ukraine executed a covert offensive named “Spiderweb.” Drones were launched from trucks discreetly positioned near key airbases, catching the Russian military by surprise. The attack targeted airfields spanning Russia’s Arctic Kola Peninsula through Siberia, damaging or destroying numerous long‑range bomber platforms.

Impact on Russian Military Capability

• Loss of critical aerial assets limits Moscow’s strike reach.
• Interrupts logistical support for future air operations.
• Demoralizes Russian command with sudden, high‑profile defeats.

Boosting Ukrainian Morale

These achievements come at a pivotal moment for Kyiv’s under‑strength forces confronting a 1,000‑km front line. By imposing downtime on Russian air and naval operations, the Ukrainian military gains a psychological edge that may influence the tide of combat.
