Ukraine has released new footage of its daring raid last week that struck four Russian airfields.
The clip, posted by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU), appears to show a first-person view drone taking off from a mobile wooden cabin and flying across fields before landing on a Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bomber.
Footage from the drone seems to show a previously hit plane engulfed in flames.
The attack on Belaya airbase in Siberia – which is more than 2,500 miles from Ukraine – was part of the wider Operation Spiderweb on June 1 in which drones were planted on trucks and launched at key strategic sites across Russia.
In total, 41 planes were damaged, Kyiv claimed, including bombers used to attack Ukrainian cities, and an A-50 spy plane.
The attack was reportedly 18 months in the planning and is estimated to have caused about £5 billion in damage.
