SBU showed footage of all hit Russian strategic aircraft during special operation "Web"
The Security Service of Ukraine has released some footage from the special operation "Web". According to the service, 41 Russian strategic aviation military aircraft were hit during the operation - some of them were irretrievably destroyed, and some aircraft will take years to rebuild.
The SSU footage recorded strikes by FPV drones on four enemy airfields: "Olenya", "Ivanovo", "Dyagilevo" and "Belaya". These airbases were home to the strategic aviation of the aggressor state, which regularly shelled peaceful Ukrainian cities.
The SSU lists that among the affected aircraft are the A-50, Tu-95, Tu-22, Tu-160, as well as the An-12 and Il-78.
"During the operation, modern UAV control technology was used, which combines autonomous artificial intelligence algorithms and manual operator intervention," the SSU said in a statement.
The service explained that some of the UAVs, due to loss of signal, switched to performing a mission using AI along a pre-planned route. And after approaching and contacting a specifically designated target, the warhead was automatically activated.
Earlier, the SSU reported that the estimated value of the equipment damaged as a result of the special operation "Website" exceeds $ 7 billion.
