Ukraine claims to have hit more than 40 Russian bomber planes at a number of military airbases, in one of its most audacious drone attacks since the war began.

Sources from Ukraine's security service, SBU, told the BBC strategic bombers were "burning en masse" in an operation named "Spider's Web", personally overseen by President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The sources said it took a year-and-a-half to organise the strikes: drones hidden in wooden mobile cabins with remotely opening roofs had been placed on trucks brought near the airbases and then fired "at the right time".

Russia's military later confirmed Sunday's Ukrainian attacks in five regions calling them a "terrorist act".

Meanwhile, Ukrainian authorities have reported a massive overnight drone and missile attack on its territory.

All this comes as Russian and Ukrainian negotiators are heading to Istanbul, Turkey, for a second round of peace talks on Monday.

Expectations are low, as the two warring side remain far apart on how to end the war.

Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Moscow currently controls about 20% of Ukrainian territory, including southern Crimea peninsula annexed in 2014.

Russia later said it faced attacks across sites in five regions.

The SBU sources said that among the hit Russian aircraft were strategic nuclear capable bombers called Tu-95 and Tu-22M3, as well as A-50 early warning warplanes.

They described the whole operation as "extremely complex logistically".

"The SBU first smuggled FPV drones into Russia, followed later by mobile wooden cabins. Once on Russian territory, the drones were hidden under the roofs of these cabins, which had been placed on cargo vehicles," the sources said.

"At the right moment, the roofs were remotely opened, and the drones took off to strike the Russian bombers."

Irkutsk Governor Igor Kobzev confirmed drones that attacked the Belaya military base in Sredniy, Siberia, were launched from a truck.

Kobzev posted on Telegram to say that the launch site had been secured and there was no threat to life.

Russian media outlets have also reported that other attacks were similarly started with drones emerging from the lorries.

One user is heard saying that the drones were flying out of a Kamaz truck near a petrol station.

The BBC sources in the SBU said that "preliminary estimates suggest that the damage inflicted on Russian aviation exceeds $2bn (£1.5bn)".

Russian media were reporting the attack in Murmansk but said air defences were working. The attack in Irkutsk was also being reported.


In a post on social media later on Sunday, the Russian defence ministry confirmed that airbases in the country's five regions were attack.

This is the only language Vladimir Putin understands now, a tit for tat

Ukraine was able to do this despite weapons and intelligence halt by Trump, I think they've developed their own local drones

Also Germany, UK and other EU countries have lifted all the restrictions on their weapons, allowing Ukraine to strike deeper inside Russia

Zelenskey and Putin should just gettat....

This is escalating seriously.

There are things to be said, but I am just to tired to say it.

Russia has fought and is fighting an enemy that is very deceptive, very disingenuous, and very snakelike. That enemy is the collective west who are using Ukraine as a proxy.

I will be a realist and admit, Russia will not be able to win. Not because they don't have the ability, but because they don't have the will.

A lot of things that Ukraine has done, if 1% of it was done against the USA, nuclear bombs will have been released a long time ago.

So the Starlink connection used to guide the drones thousands of kms in Ukraine is developed by Ukraine abi. You don't really care about Ukraine, as you are just pro West and anti-Russia for reasons best known to yourself.

let's call a spade a spade, Putin is fighting an unjust war, how do you invade a sovereign country with the intention of seizing all of it and expect nothing to happen, do you know how many soldiers and civilians that have been killed on both sides since the beginning of this senseless war

But it was Russia that started the war by invading Ukraine or have you forgotten so quickly...?

If Russia didn't invade Ukraine in the first place we won't be here having this discussion.

Whatever Russia see they have to take it in good faith...all is fair in war...

You know nothing about the history of the conflict or the aim of the conflict. So I won't bother arguing with you.

The advent of war drones has made the imagination of a contemporary world war very scary.

Issues of mass launch at targets, and tendencies of inaccurate tracking of air defences are high.

So is also the rate at which some irrational countries are stock pilling them.

Lol. Ukraine always strike at the brink of possible negotiations. Why always then?

It's children that think that it was when Russia invaded Ukraine the war began. They don't know the history of the war. They don't know that Ukraine was a buffer zone, the don't know that Ukraine has been shelling Donbas region. They don't know that Ukraine sovereignty does not give them the right to join NATO but when you don't understand international relationship or war strategy will be arguing blindly. NATO at the back of Russia calling that sovereignty is a stupid talk and even NATO countries know that. Forget what they lie to you at the open. Deep inside them they know it's not possible for Ukraine to join.

Well, Putin escalated offence even when peace talk is ongoing. That's unacceptable

GOOD NEWS THIS NEW MONTH

COMRADES, honestly I don't know why Russia is still treating Ukraine with kids gloves. How long did it take USA to defeat Sadam?
Please Russia stop wasting time in this special operation in Ukraine

how is the west using Ukraine as a proxy?

Waiting for Russia's response.
It will be devastating.
By the way, few people on this forum are saying, Russia is weak.
Maybe.
But remember that the strongest man is the one that appears weak even when at his greatest strength.
Dey play, Russia go soon show Ukraine wotowoto.

You guys should continue falling for the PR of the West, in reality Russia is capturing more villages and towns in Ukraine. For your information, in past three-four days four villages were captured by the Russian army
