One of the 4 airblaces that Ukraine has attacked is also located in the Irkutsk region of Russia.
The Russian Ministry of Defense on Sunday confirmed that 5 military airbase across the country was targeted in drone attacks by Ukraine, causing damage to many aircraft. However, the exact figure of how many aircrafts have been damaged have not been stated.
In its statement, the Russian Ministry of Defense accused Ukraine that it launched a terrorist attack on the airports located in Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo, Rayajan and Amur areas with a FPV (First Person View) drone. The ministry said that all terrorist attacks on military airbase in Ivanovo, Ryajan and Amur regions were thwarted.
For the first time, it has also been officially confirmed that some drone attacks were carried out at very close to the airbase. According to Russian officials, the Murmansk region’s Olenogorsk Airbase and Irqutsk (Siberia) Sredni Airbase were targeted by launching drones from nearby areas with the help of trailer trucks.
Drones were launched from this truck in Irkutsk.
Shortly after the drone was launched, it caught fire.
Ukraine claims- 41 Russian aircraft destroyed
Ukraine claimed on Sunday, destroying 41 Russian fighter jets. Ukraine targeted Oleanya Air Base in Marmaansk, Russia, Belaya Air Base in Irqutsk, Ivanovo Air Base in Ivanovo and Diogilevo Air Base, according to the Ukrainian website Kiev Independent report.
Russia’s rolling airbase is more than 4 thousand km away from the Ukrainian border. It is located in the Siberia region of Russia. According to the report, Ukraine’s Security Agency (SBU) carried out the attack, using FPV (first-Persen-View) drones. It targeted strategic bombers like A-50, TU-95 and TU-22.
An SBU official said that he has carried out the attack in his own defense, as these Russian aircraft often drop bombs on Ukrainian cities. Russia has confirmed this attack. According to initial estimates, the cost of damage can be US $ 2 billion (more than 17 thousand crore rupees).
The attack took place at a time when peace talks are to be held in Istanbul on Monday and clashes across the border have intensified.
Russia’s four airbase distance from Ukraine
- Belaya Airbase, Irqutsk Oblast (4300 km away)
- Olenya Airbase, Murmansk Oblast (3674 km away)
- Diagilevo Airbase, Riyajan Oblast (2161 km away)
- Ivanovo Airbase, Ivanovo Oblast (2000 km away)
Olenya airbase caught fire
Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) stated that his drones went far away inside Russia and damaged expensive spy aircraft such as TU-95, TU-22 and expensive spy aircraft such as A-50. The A-50 aircraft are very rare, and Russia has only 10 such aircraft. The price of an aircraft is said to be around $ 350 million (Rs 3000 crore).
In this attack, an airbase named ‘Belaya’ was specially targeted, which is in the Ironkutsk region of Russia. At the same time, there have been reports of fire in ‘Oleanya’ airbase, but it has not been officially confirmed yet.
Aircrafts like TU-95 and TU-160 are old, but they can fly long distances and carry many missiles. They are counted among the most powerful weapons of Russia’s Air Force. Dropping them is considered a big achievement for Ukraine.
Ukraine said- if Russia does not stop, they will attack more
The Ukrainian agency said that they carried out the attack so that Russia’s bombing could stop, because almost every night Russian aircraft attack Ukrainian cities. He hopes that Russia will suffer a lot of damage due to this attack. Ukraine has also said that its drone mission will continue even further.
Olenya Airbase is in the Marmaansk region of Russia. The governor there said that the enemy’s drone attacked, but he also did not share much information. A video is viral on social media in which FPV drones can be seen flying from a truck.
Ukraine was preparing for one and a half years
According to media reports, SBU had been preparing for this attack for about 18 months. He named this operation ‘Spider Web’. The mission was monitored by Ukraine’s President Volodimir Jailonsci himself. At the same time, this SBU was under the supervision of Chief Vasil Malieuk.
According to Ukrainian media reports, the drone was first sent secretly to Russia and then hidden under the wooden cabins placed in the lories. When the attack was to be held, drones were launched from these trucks.
Exios, citing the Ukrainian officer, said that before the attack, Ukraine had informed the Trump administration.
According to reports, many special things were involved in this operation…
- Ukrainian agents secretly transported FPV drones and wooden mobile cabins inside Russia.
- These drone trucks were hidden under the roofs, which could be controlled from far away.
- When the attack started, the roofs of the trucks opened and the Kamikage drones (drones that blow themselves) were sent directly to the Russian bombers aircraft.
These drones were kept in boxes.
The drones were hidden behind the steel sheet.
Russia’s Telegram channels shared footage, some people were seen trying to stop the drone by climbing a truck. Burned aircraft and fire appeared in photographs from different military airbase of Russia, but the total damage has not yet been properly guessed.
Moscow also revealed a video of a burning airbase in Voscracensk, in which a Russian soldier is saying-
Everything has been ruined here.
In a viral video, the drone is shown destroying the TU-95 fighter jet. The FPV drone priced at around Rs 40,000 stops near the aircraft and targets its tank. According to the British Ministry of Defense, Russia has about 40 TU-95 fighter jets in 2025. It has 4 engines and is capable of carrying too much weapon.
Ukraine claimed to make drones going 3000 km away The Governor of Irqutsk also confirmed that a military unit in the area had been attacked. In addition, explosions on two railway bridges in Russia’s Kursk and Brank areas also caused havoc. A passenger train derailed in Brainsk, killing at least 7 people and injured several.
A goods train derailed in Kursk and his driver was injured. Both these areas are bordering Ukraine. Apart from this, a drone attack has also taken place in the Marmank area of Russia, which has been confirmed by the governor there.
Ukraine earlier claimed in March that it made a new drone, which could fly up to a distance of 3,000 kilometers, but was not given much information about it.
Russia’s biggest drone attack on Ukraine Russia attacked Ukraine, a few hours before Ukraine’s attack on Russian airbase. Ukraine’s Air Force reported that Russia sent 472 drones over Ukraine simultaneously, which is the largest number ever. Along with this, Russia also fired seven missiles. This information was given by Ukrainian Air Force Communications Head Yuri Ignat.
Ignat said the military training unit was attacked with missiles and drones, killing at least 12 soldiers. At the same time, more than 60 were injured. The place where the attack took place is 1000 km from the border. Nevertheless, Russia’s drones managed to attack there.
After the Russian attack, employees are working to remove the debris of the house.
According to reports, the Ukrainian army is already struggling with shortage of soldiers and now they are taking more vigilance to avoid a large crowd, as Russian drones in the sky are constantly monitoring and looking for an attack.
The Ukrainian Ground Forces said the incident would be investigated. He said that if the investigation shows that the cause of this loss was the fault or negligence of an officer, then he will be punished severely.
