On June 1, 2025, multiple Tu-95MS strategic bombers were reportedly damaged or destroyed in a large-scale Ukrainian FPV drone attack targeting several Russian air bases—including Olenya, Belaya, Dyagilevo, Ivanovo, and Voskresensk—as part of a long-planned operation by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) known as "Operation Spider's Web".[57][58][59]

I wonder when we will find out exactly how many aircraft were damaged?
