The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) reported that the June 1 “Spider Web” drone operation caused approximately $7 billion in damages and disabled 34% of cruise missile bombers in key Russian airbases.

The agency confirmed that more details about the attack will be revealed later.

“And you thought Ukraine was easy? Ukraine is exceptional. Ukraine is unique. All the steamrollers of history have rolled over it. It has withstood every kind of trial. It is tempered by the highest degree. In today’s world, its value is beyond measure,” the SBU wrote, quoting Ukrainian poet Lina Kostenko.

They also vowed to continue to drive Russian forces out of Ukrainian territory.

Ukraine did this with $500 drones. No infantry. No tanks or fighter jets.

Ukraine doesn't have the numbers to continue this war, less they want to start drafting 18 year olds.

As much as I want to send them more money and arms, I want a ceasefire and end. Ukraine has lost enough, and they deserve peace.

I doubt Russia will agree to any peace talks though. And it'll be tough to replicate Operation Spiderweb now that Russia knows how it was conducted.

Such a tragic fucking state of affairs

Russia is already sending children in their military and uses donkeys and stolen civilian vehicles for supply.

The fate of ukraine is in our hands, but its their decision what they will give to resist the orks.

You forget that russia is deeply corrupt. This type of operation can be done again.

Getting some inspiraton from hogans heros is good /j

i take hope from the fact that since the war begun people have been saying ukraine has no chance, and yet here we are with ukraine still existing and independent… i guess when you’re defending your home you can pull some pretty impressive manoeuvres out of nowhere that people hadn’t accounted for

Russia is so incompetent I'm sure Ukraine could execute something similar several times again.
