4 minutes and 43 seconds of drone warfare history
This is the latest footage of the June 1 strike launched by the Security Service of Ukraine against Russian strategic aviation in the deep rear of enemy territory, thousands of kilometers from Ukraine. This unparalleled coup, codenamed Operation Spider’s Web, employed domestically-designed Osa drones from the First Contact company, which has been making AI-powered UAVs since at least early 2024.
Of course, Russian propagandists have tried to minimise the operation’s success, even placing undamaged aircraft exactly on the burned shadow where wrecked aircraft had stood. But then the videos roll!
