Russia on Operation Spider Web: Ukraine caused huge havoc under Operation Spider Web targeting Russia’s airbase. After this, US President Donald Trump spoke to Russia’s President Vladimir Putin for about 75 minutes. Now Russia has said on Ukraine’s attack that when and how they will answer Operation Spider Web, it and his army will decide themselves.

Last week, Ukraine attacked a major drone against Russia under the Operation Spider Web. In this operation, military airbase and aircraft were targeted across Russia. During the phone conversation between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, Russia said that Moscow would respond to Ukraine’s attack. Trump wrote on Truth Social, “President Putin said and said very strongly that he would have to respond to the recent attack on airports.”

‘The conversation was good but …’

Trump wrote on social media, “This conversation lasted for about an hour and 15 minutes. We discussed the attack on Russian aircraft by Ukraine and different attacks being carried out by both sides. It was a good conversation, but there was no such conversation that could establish peace immediately. The President Putin said and said very strongly that he would have to answer the recent attacks on the airports.”

What did Russia say about Operation Spider Web?

Confirming Russia’s plan, the news agency AFP said that Kremlin has confirmed that the attack will be done when our army considers it appropriate. Operation Spider Web performed by Ukraine during the war with Russia was a covert drone attack. On 1 June, a large -scale drone attack was carried out by Ukrainian Security Service (SBU).

The drone launched in Russia targeted major airbase and aircraft. According to the SBU, more than 40 Russian bomber aircraft were destroyed, which are usually used to attack against Kiev.

Ukraine operation spider web: Ukraine on Sunday (1 June 2025) destroyed the 40 bombers plane, targeting Russia’s military airports under Operation Spiderweb. Ukraine carried out this operation after 18 months of planning. Ukraine used a low -cost 150 small FPV drones, out of which 118 drones have made the biggest attack on Russia so far.

Russian air defense system dodged

Taking responsibility for this operation, Ukraine Security Service (SBU) said that they secretly transported the drone within the Russia border. These drones were launched with wooden structures on trucks to attack from short distance during the day. The drones were launched from mobile trucks near Russia’s strategic airports, which made it easier to dodge the Russian air defense system. Ukrainian President Volodimir Jailonsky described this operation as a great achievement.

Ukraine changed the definition of war

Operation Spider web is especially important because it has challenged the traditional air power. Instead of deploying fighter jets or cruise missiles, Ukraine rely on cheap drones equipped with explosives, which proved to be effective. The cost of a FPV drone was 430 to 600 dollars (about 36,000 to 50,000 rupees). With these cheap drones, Ukraine destroyed 40 aircraft (TU-95, TU-22M3, A-50) at four airports in Russia.

Countries with large industrial capacity and high technology have been dominated by the airforce strength for decades. This operation indicates how the enemies can be maximum damaged at a low cost even without traditional aerial strength. Traditional aerial operation requires months -long planning, best fighter jet, fuel tanker satellite coordination. Operation Spider Web was weak in all these cases, but still Ukraine has written a new history in the field of war.

Lesson for india

The drone is now becoming increasingly the main power worldwide. Spider web attack is evidence that UAV or unmanned air force is the cornerstone of future wars. With this, the army can go very inside in the enemy’s area. This will not even risk the life of the pilot.

India will have to move rapidly towards unmanned systems. India has spent a lot in its fighter aircraft, helicopters and air transport for decades, but now there will be a drone using unmanned and AI in future. India has taken initial steps in that direction, but not so fast. With Ukrainian operation, India should proceed on indigenous drones, armed UAVs.
