President Donald Trump has privately praised Ukraine’s bold drone strike operation, called “Operation Spiderweb,” describing it as both “strong” and “badass.”. This admiration comes amid Trump’s ongoing diplomatic efforts, including a recent offer to Putin aimed at de-escalating tensions.
As reported by The Sun, the operation used 117 drones and hit four important Russian airbases: Belaya Air Base (the farthest strike, located close to Mongolia), Olenya Air Base near Finland, and Ivanovo and Dyagilevo airbases near Moscow. The attack destroyed 41 Russian aircraft, which was a third of Putin’s most valuable planes, causing major harm to Russia’s air force and estimated to cost Russia $7 billion (GBP 5.2 billion).
