The Israeli Intelligence Agency Mossad commented on the SBU operation on a large scale “spider web” on Russia on its page on the social network X.
“The Ukrainian operation against Russia is an alarm signal in the Age of Drone.
Ukrainian drones simultaneously attacked four Russian military aerodromes in the Murmansk, Ivanovo, Irkuțk and Riazan regions (“Olenia”, “Belaia”, “Diaghilevo”, “Ivanovo”). The Ukraine's security service officially confirmed the attack on Russian aircraft and indicated that 34% of Russian strategic rockets were hit. Their estimated value is seven billion dollars.
Ukraine has planned a large -scale operation of Russian airfrans without information from the United States, said CBS News Jennifer Jacobs reporter.
“Administrative sources tell me that the US did not share information with Volodimir Zelenski and his team for the spider's web.” Ukraine collects its own information, “she wrote.
This information was also reported by the Axios portal, citing its own sources in Kiev and Washington. The White House was not aware of the preparation of the SBU operation and refused to comment on the attacks, notes the publication.
The editorialist Washington Post, Max Booth, is parallel to the Pearl Harbor attack, when Japan has unexpectedly attacked a American naval and air base. According to him, Russian generals were probably as shocked as the Americans in 1941. Bout called the “Pană” operation led by SBU “brilliant and brave”. In his opinion, this aims to compensate for the fact that Ukraine remains without ammunition for Patriot air defense systems. He stressed that Kiev rewritten the rules of the war.
The Sunday attack showed that Kiev has “his books”
“As Pearl Harbor pointed out that Japan will be a much more formidable enemy than most Western citizens were expected, Sunday attack shows once again that Ukrainians prove to be much more resistant and adaptable fighters than anyone before the start of Russia, more than three years ago.”, Stress the journalist.
In another article, The Washington Post notes that Sunday's attack was one of the largest behind Russia, and the operation itself shows that Kiev has found a way to attack previously inaccessible. According to American journalists, the attacks gave a significant blow to Moscow's ability to use cruise missiles and showed the vulnerability of military installations located deep behind Russia. He also demonstrated weaknesses of the powerful Russian security device, which should prevent sabotage.
According to CNN, the Operation of the Spider Pânza is “one of the most daring and sophisticated” attacks of Ukrainian reprisals from the beginning of the war. They emphasize that attacks are meant to convey to Russia that Ukraine can still exert pressure more than three years after a large -scale invasion. New York Times also writes that the attack on Russian bombers was “one of the greatest in history”, and the Ukrainian drones arrived in Siberia for the first time.
“If the extent of the damage is confirmed, this attack would be the most devastating attack of Ukrainian drones in the entire war so far“Writes The Guardian.
Sky News emphasizes that governments around the world will pay attention to how cheap drones have destroyed expensive Russian aircraft. According to the editor-in-chief of the Department of Defense and Security, Deborah Haynes, every military base, aerodrome and war ship will now seem a little more vulnerable if any nearby truck can be loaded with deadly drones.
The Telegraph believes that the Sunday attack has shown that Kiev has “his books”, despite Donald Trump's words. According to British journalists, Ukrainian drone attacks have put in difficulty not only Putin, but also the US president. They also stressed that, despite Washington's dark statements, Kiev continues to fight. The BBC also believes that Ukrainian attacks are the “books” of Ukraine in negotiations with Moscow. They write that the “web” operation on the eve of the negotiations in Istanbul has shown that Kiev has its own pressure elements.
