Ukrainian drones hit Russia's bomber: a strategic coup!
Vienna, Österreich - On June 2, 2025, Ukraine recorded a spectacular success in its military operation against Russia. Ukrainian drone attacks were aimed specifically at Russian strategic bombers in the hinterland and are one of the most important strokes in the Ukraine decline. The affected aircraft, including the TU-95 and TU-22M3, are crucial for the implementation of long-distance attacks in the Ukrainian area. Details about the attacks were published by the Wiener Zeitung , which underlined the importance of these operations.
The attacks carried out on four airports - Belaya, Djagilewo, Iwanowo and Olenia - led to considerable damage. According to estimates, over 40 aircraft, including strategic bombers and the early warning aircraft A-50, were destroyed. Ukraine estimates the damage to almost $ 7 billion, which concerns 34% of Russian strategic marching aircraft carriers. The Ukrainian secret service SBU is planning and has been carrying out these attacks for over 15 months, and the drones allegedly started out of mobile wooden huts on trucks, the roofs of which were opened remotely, such as the Berliner Zeitung reported.
strategic importance and military reactions
The attacks weaken the basis for Russian long -distance attacks and force Russia to move its bombers further away and to strengthen air defense. Experts rate these operations as highly strategic and emphasize that Russia was not prepared for such deep attacks. Rusland's military leadership has already threatened retaliation measures, probably in the form of massive rocket attacks. These attacks not only serve a tactical purpose, but should also achieve a symbolic effect and strengthen the morality of the Ukrainian troops, according to the assessments of military analysts.
Despite the success in the air, the military situation on the front in Donbass remains unchanged. Russian troops prepare a summer offensive to conquer strategic hubs such as Pokrowsk and Kramatorsk. The military pressure by Russia remains strong, and the momentum is still with the Russian armed forces. The conflict in the Donbass could ultimately be decided where there is no clear turn. The challenges for Ukraine are versatile, including a lack of recruitment and material shortage, which makes it difficult to noticeably progress.technological change in the war
A central aspect of the Ukrainian strategy is the increased use of FPV drones (First Person View), which have increasingly be seen in the Ukraine secretary since 2023. These drones enable precise attacks on movable goals and are used for education and distraction. Ukrainian soldiers modify commercial drones and plan to produce over a million FPV drones in 2024. According to Hartpunkt have FPV drones that can reach speeds of over 250 km/h, the potential to achieve fatal effects.
The Ukraine operations illustrate a significant development towards asymmetrical warfare and underline the growing ability to operate behind enemy lines. This is not only shown in the attacks on the Russian Air Force, but also in efficiency with which drones are used in different scenarios. Despite the noticeable success, the strategic situation on the front remains tense and the military dynamics remains uncertain.
