Spider web operation: satellite images confirmed the destruction of 13 boards at the airfields of the Russian Federation

To spread: New satellite images confirm the successful lesion of 13 Russian military aircraft at the Belaya and Deer airfields as a result of the Ukrainian spider web, held on June 1. According to investigators and OSINT analysts, strategic Tu-95 bombers, Far rocket launchers TU-22M3 and a military transport aircraft An-12 were hit. Updated data on aircraft at two Russian airfields is presented on June 4 in Radio Liberty.

Planet Labs pictures of at least seven aircraft at the Belaya airfield in the Irkutsk region are recorded that the planet Labs images of June 4. Among them are three Tu-95 and four TU-22m3. Meanwhile, the OSINT channel "Eye Mountain", comparing the pictures for June 2 and 4, concluded that one of the damaged Tu-95 was probably urgently cleared or replaced to create the illusion of an unharmed aircraft. In the picture on June 2, this TU-95 had visible signs of severe damage and traces of fire.

Thus, it can be argued that the total number of Tu-95 destroyed on the basis of "Belaya" is four units. Additional satellite images and SAR-shooting data confirm that four more strategic Tu-95 strategic bombers and one An-12 transport aircraft were destroyed in the Murmana region.

Thus, the overall assessment of losses on the results of the analysis of satellite images and videos from Ukrainian drones is: Recall that on June 1, 2025, the Security Service of Ukraine conducted one of the most daring and technologically complex operations in the history of Ukrainian special services. According to official information, the SBU operation under the code name "Web" was prepared for about a year and a half.

117 FPV-punks were involved in its implementation, and under the attack were the aerodromes "Olenia", "Belaya", "Dyagilevo" and "Ivanovo" in the Russian Federation. The main purpose was to neutralize strategic aviation media, from which Russia regularly strikes with winged missiles in Ukraine. The result was affected by 41 Russian plane-including A-50, TU-95 and TU-22M3. Russia's total material damage is estimated at more than $ 7 billion.
