About this episode
On Sunday, Ukraine carried out a coordinated drone attack within Russian territory hitting dozens of Russian bombers. The attack, called Operation Spider’s Web, used 117 Ukrainian drones hidden at four different air bases across Russia to strike 41 Russian aircraft, according to Ukrainian officials. Ukrainian security services claim the strikes caused $7 billion in damage and took out over a third of Russia’s nuclear-capable airplanes. Later on Sunday night, Russia launched 472 drones and seven missiles, striking at least 18 locations in Ukraine, with explosions reported in the cities of Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia.
