underwater attack on Crimean Bridge—Putin’s prized link to annexed territory & key supply route for Russian forces in Southern Ukraine. This marks the third major attack on the bridge, and quite possibly, its most devastating yet. Let’s break down operation’s timeline, the technologies involved, & serious ramifications for both Moscow and the entire front.
⸻
1. The Crimean Bridge: Russia’s Jugular Vein
• Symbolic Significance: For Putin, it’s a showcase of Russian might and his personal authority over “New Russia.”
• Supply Hub: If the bridge is compromised, so is the Kremlin’s capacity to sustain its southern operations.
⸻
2. Underwater Detonation: ‘Spider Web’ Op Unfolds
June 1, Pre-dawn: An SBU-led operation, months in the making, reached its climax. Unmanned or diver-controlled submersible drones had reportedly planted 1,100 kg of TNT-equivalent explosives on or near the bridge’s underwater supports.
• First Explosion: At 04:44, a massive blast shook the structure’s pillars. Vital support elements buckled.
• Second Explosion: Hours later, a follow-up detonation caused additional chaos. Roadway closures and shipping bans in the area.
• Multilayered Attack: Beyond the bombs, Ukrainian forces launched or faked additional drone threats—ranging from possible anti-air missiles at sea to rumored aerial drones—tying up Russian defenses.
Key Takeaway: This was no simple sabotage. Ukraine’s multi-pronged approach combined submersible charges, intelligence, and protective cover, breaching multiple layers of Russian security.
⸻
3. Why Mission Succeeded Despite ‘Fortress’ Security
Russia considers the Kerch Bridge a top-tier asset—defended by anti-air systems (S-400, Pantsir), anti-sabotage vessels, underwater hydroacoustic sensors, and armed patrols.
• Months of Planning: Ukraine’s intelligence got their hands on original bridge design docs. They studied structural weak points, ran infiltration rehearsals, and exploited blind spots in Russian sea/air patrols.
• Deceptive Tactics: The possibility of local saboteurs or disguised vessels inside Kerch waters circumvented the “impenetrable” perimeter.
• Russia’s Complacency: Believing prior attacks were one-offs, the Kremlin likely underestimated Ukraine’s capacity for an underwater infiltration.
Operation Spiderweb — everything we know about Ukraine's 'audacious' attack on Russia's heavy bombers. This don need any high tech weapons.
just some..."COMMON SENSE". [noncount] : the ability to think and behave in a reasonable way to make good decisions.

Only President Putin can blasted Ukraine, saying Kyiv carried out a "deliberate hit" on civilians in weekend attacks on bridges in Russia's border regions. Putin claims the attacks were "directed at thwarting the negotiation process" in Istanbul between Kyiv and Moscow. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Zelensky proposed implementing a ceasefire until a meeting can be arranged with Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Zelensky also said that "Russia is giving the finger to the entire world – to all those who still hesitate to increase pressure on it."

Key developments on June 5:
Ukraine strikes Russian missile base in Bryansk Oblast, damages Iskander launchers, Ukrainian military says
'Deadline is in my brain' — 'Not destroyed but damaged' — Russia claims it will repair bombers struck in Op Spiderweb
Trump privately praises Ukraine's drone strike on Russian bombers as 'badass". Axios reports.
Russia said killed, 5 injured 9 in Russian drone strike on Kyiv, Chernihiv Oblast
Ukrainian forces launched a missile strike on June 5 targeting a concentration of Russian missile troops near city of Klintsy in Russia’s Bryansk Oblast, the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces reported.
The strike reportedly destroyed one Iskander missile launcher and seriously damaged two others. The targeted unit, part of Russia’s 26th Missile Brigade, had attempted to fire on Ukrainian territory — likely aiming at Kyiv — before it was hit, according to the military.
"Thanks to effective reconnaissance and the coordinated efforts of the Armed Forces and the Security Service of Ukraine, the targets were successfully hit," the General Staff said.

Ukraine exploited the chaos after its devastating Operation Spiderweb and targeted more Russian airfields with long-range drones, while the Russians were too busy to check every truck on their road network because of the paranoia that more Ukrainian drones may pop out at any moment. As details continue to surface, it is clear that Ukraine executed Operation Spiderweb in spectacular fashion, destroying a third of Russia's strategic bomber fleet in a single coordinated drone strike on multiple airbases deep inside enemy territory. Satellite imagery continues to surface, raising number of confirmed losses & solidifying the ops as an unparalleled success in modern military history, with some analysts drawing comparison to how nuclear bombs changed way wars can play out.

Russia is attempting to offset its landing ship losses by building new vessels, but the latest one is far from ready for active duty. During its full-scale war against Ukraine, russia has suffered significant losses in the Black Sea, with four large landing ships — Minsk, Saratov, Novocherkassk, and Caesar Kunikov — confirmed destroyed, and another, Olenegorsky Gornyak, seriously damaged.
To compensate for these setbacks, the aggressor state is pushing ahead with the construction of Project 11711M Cayman-class large landing ships, reportedly capable of carrying Ka-52K attack helicopters. russian sources have already reported the "launch" of the first vessel in the series. However, that announcement comes with some peculiar caveats.

Ukrainian forces have begun targeting not just the Russian military equipment, but the factories that produce them deep in industrial core of the country. By striking key munitions plants responsible for explosives, bomb kits for artillery components, they’ve set off chain reaction to choke Russia’s ability sustain its summer offensive.

Us used first-person-view (FPV) drones smuggled deep into Russian & hidden inside trucks has hit 41 Russian heavy bombers at four airfields across the country, source agency told Kyiv Independent. June 1.
The op — codenamed "Web" a year-and-a-half in planning — has dealt a major blow to Moscow uses for launch long-range attacks on Ukraine's cities.
"SBU first team FPV to Russia territory of the Russian Federation & hidden under the roofs of mobile wooden cabins, & on trucks," the source said.

News from Ukraine's Security Service
Source: Said one of the airfields hit was Belaya air base in Russia's Irkutsk area more than 4,000 km from Ukraine.
Olenya air base in Russia's Murmansk Oblast, the Diaghilev airbase in Ryazan Oblast, Ivanovo airbase in Ivanovo Oblast were also targeted.
"SBU drones r practicing on aircraft that bomb Ukrainian cities every night.
Currently, a total of 41 aircraft are known to been hit, including the A-50, Tu-95 and Tu-22 M3," source added. Video provided by source shows what appears to be a row of heavy bomber aircraft on fire at one of the airbases. Confirmed videos posted on social media show FPV drones being launched from trucks parked near the airfields.
Irkutsk Oblast Governor later confirmed "drone attack on a military airbase in the nearby village" using "trunk" Murmansk Governor later confirmed "enemy drones attacked 4,000 k/m region" away from Ukraine, but gave no further details.
In March, Ukraine announced developed new drone with range of 3,000 k/m but gave no details about its type, its name, the size of its warhead, or when it would go into mass production remain top

Along Sumy border, Ukrainian forces lured Russian units into counterattacks then traced their movements back to hidden staging grounds across Kursk. With their positions exposed, HIMARS batteries struck hard, delivering devastating blows to troop concentrations, command posts, and infrastructure critical to Russia’s planned offensive. Over 50 thousand Russian troops have been deployed to the Kursk region along the northern border with Sumy, signaling clear preparations for a full-scale offensive. But Ukrainian commanders in the area confirmed their buildup, and are preparing to hit many more enemy soldiers, noting these forces are being readied for large-scale ops aimed at breaching the Sumy region’s defenses.
The massive Russian forces concentration here underscores their conviction they can still thinking to achieve victory through overwhelming manpower & renewed offensives. The Ukrainian are well planning to, to neutralize such threat as much as possible, Ukrainians needed to eliminate these large forces concentrations be4 they had opportunity to move to other frontline. To accomplish this, Ukrainians launched attacks on the eastern flank of Tyotkino to force a Russian redeployment and draw forces away from the town itself. By threatening a potential outflank, they put pressure on Russian positions while conducting swift rotations to keep fresh troops and equipment on front line. This way, Ukrainians also improve their defensive position against Russian pressure across this section of the front, while their main offensive units threatens a two-pronged assault on Tyotkino.
Combat footage from the area shows Ukrainian armored vehicles rotating efficiently, one withdrawing to resupply while another engages Russian positions, ensuring constant pressure on enemy lines. This tactic prevents Russian forces from massing at strong points and forces them into improvised defensive positions in open terrain. As Russian troops rushed forward to plug gaps to prevent Ukrainian breakthrough, many were eliminated by FPV drone strikes. Even attempts to move in small groups of two or three failed to evade detection, as drones continued targeting them with precision. However most importantly, Ukrainians traced these movements, revealing the locations of Russian troop concentrations and command posts, opening the door for devastating Ukrainian strikes.
Such critical intelligence allowed the use of HIMARS crews to lock in their targets and strike several Russian military bases simultaneously. Footage confirms that Ukraine hit two Russian deployment points in Lgov and Rylsk, as local residents report large numbers of casualties among Russian soldiers being taken away in the aftermath. Russians were also spotted gathering their forces in an abandoned hospital building, as the strike completely devastated the building & any Russian soldiers inside. Ukrainians also targeted Russian command posts, to disrupt the Russian offensive preparations and inflict severe losses. Moreover, a reported one of the victims of the recent strikes was the deputy commander of 155th Marine Brigade who was reportedly eliminated by a precision strike on his command post in Rylsk.
These strikes show that Ukrainians are already draining Russian reserves even before they can launch their offensive. They are disrupting Russian preparations and inflicting losses, further limiting what they can achieve. If Russians redeploy their forces further to the rear to try and stay undetected, these forces will not be able to respond quickly to sudden breakthroughs or Ukrainian assaults. This gives Russians a painstakingly tough dilemma, either Russians will have to station their forces much further to the rear, or they must take the blows dealt to them by Ukrainian strike teams, betting on their numbers being enough to still make a breakthrough despite the heavy damage.
Overall, the Ukrainians managed to lure the Russians to expose their forces in the open to discover their critical infrastructure, resulting in a series of devastating precision strikes. Intensification of Ukrainian assaults in Tyotkino incursion will inevitably leave Russians with no other option but to deploy more forces to this area, exposing further forces concentration points to Ukrainian observation and strike teams. As Ukrainians continue to scout behind Russian lines, additional strikes seem inevitable. Furthermore, as Russians suffer logistical strains by deploying and concentrating so such many troops, any movement will be nearly impossible to hide.

audacious underwater drone strike on the Kerch Bridge, Russian analysts have begun sounding the alarm over the possibility of an even more devastating follow-up. To them, the Kerch operation wasn’t just a spectacular success—it looked like a rehearsal for something far more dangerous, aimed at Russia’s most sensitive naval bases in the far east.
In light of the massively successful operation Spiderweb, showing Ukraine’s ability to strike deep in the heart of Russian territory by both conventional and unconventional means, the Ukrainian Security Service carried out another stunning strike.
In their own, so-called, special operation, Ukrainians hit the underwater support structure of the Kerch bridge. The estimated 1,100 kilogram explosion detonated around 10 meters deep, making the damage more difficult to assess and repair. Notably, Ukraine announced the strike by releasing footage taken from a Russian security camera, showing how deeply infiltrated Ukrainian intelligence services are in Russian networks.
To conduct the strike, Ukrainians used a new variant of underwater naval drone, the Toloka 1,000 or the Toloka 400. These new underwater drones, upgrades of the Toloka 150, can deliver between half a ton and 5 tons of explosives at a range of 1,000 to 2,000 kilometers, respectively. The drones can operate at a depth of up to 40 meters. Their compact design and quiet propulsion systems make them ideal for covert sabotage missions against high-value Russian naval and logistics infrastructure.
However, Russian analysts note that Ukraine could have used multiple Toloka drones in sequence to breach defenses and collapse the bridge. They suggest that this was therefore not the main strike, but rather a field test of upgraded underwater drone capabilities. Operation Spiderweb demonstrated that Ukraine can strike deep into Russia using unconventional platforms, hitting unexpected targets beyond traditional frontlines. Now, with new and upgraded underwater drones in play, Russian analysts started raising the alarm that the Pacific naval assets are under imminent threat.
Russian analysis are worried that to hit Russia’s far east, Ukrainians could realistically use container ships laden with concealed naval drones. The Ukrainians operate a large fleet of merchant vessels, including container ships. These are more difficult to regulate and inspect, making it easier to smuggle the underwater drones in them. Furthermore, careful coordination of shipping towards international ports of Ukrainian allies, such as Australia, the United States, Japan, and South Korea, could reduce the risk of such an operation being intercepted, especially with the cooperation of allied intelligence services.
Once the container ships enter the Sea of Japan, the Sea of Okhotsk, or even dock in Russian ports, they would already be within range of releasing underwater drones, with the Toloka 1,000 having a range of 2,000 kilometers at the least. Ukraine could launch these drones from the deck, or through an underwater configuration comparable to a torpedo launch. The targets would be the Russian naval bases in Vladivostok and on the Kamchatka Peninsula. The Vladivostok base houses the Russian Pacific surface fleet, with several destroyers, corvettes, and the flagship of the Russian Pacific fleet, the Cruiser Varyag. The base in Kamchatka houses Russia’s nuclear submarines, which are carriers of both nuclear-capable ballistic and cruise missiles, and is known as one of Russia’s most secure facilities. With the Toloka 1,000 having a maximum payload of up to 5 tons, 10 times higher than conventional torpedoes shown on screen now, Ukrainians could hit and sink several ships with only one drone.
Such strikes would not have a direct military impact for Ukraine, but it would bring the war to the Russian home front in a way never seen before. Additionally, it would undermine Russia's ability to defend itself in a broader sense, eroding the Russian nuclear triad even further, after already having lost over a third of its strategic bomber fleet. Such an operation would exponentially magnify the pressure on Russia to seek a realistic negotiated peace settlement, as the Ukrainian Istanbul delegation already noted how, after the launch of Operation Spiderweb, their Russian counterparts were much less hostile than before.
Overall, Ukraine’s strike on the Kerch Bridge fits into a broader, coordinated campaign, seemingly without range limitations. It marks the start of a new phase in long-range underwater warfare. With upgraded Toloka drones now capable of reaching over 2,000 kilometers, Russian analysts openly worry this was only a trial run, and that Ukraine’s real targets lie in the Pacific, where Russian nuclear...

To them, the Kerch operation wasn’t just a spectacular success—it looked like a rehearsal for something far more dangerous, aimed at Russia’s most sensitive naval bases in the far east. In light of the massively successful operation Spiderweb, showing Ukraine’s ability to strike deep in the heart of Russian territory by both conventional and unconventional means, the Ukrainian Security Service carried out another stunning strike. In their own, so-called, special operation, Ukrainians hit the underwater support structure of the Kerch bridge. The estimated 1,100 kilogram explosion detonated around 10 meters deep, making the damage more difficult to assess and repair. Notably, Ukraine announced the strike by releasing footage taken from a Russian security camera, showing how deeply infiltrated Ukrainian intelligence services are in Russian networks. To conduct the strike, Ukrainians used a new variant of underwater naval drone, the Toloka 1,000 or the Toloka 400. These new underwater drones, upgrades of the Toloka 150, can deliver between half a ton and 5 tons of explosives at a range of 1,000 to 2,000 kilometers, respectively. The drones can operate at a depth of up to 40 meters. Their compact design and quiet propulsion systems make them ideal for covert sabotage missions against high-value Russian naval and logistics infrastructure.
