Ukraine Just Crippled Russia’s Air Force — And Trump Is Mad He Wasn’t Told

Operation Spiderweb changes everything. And Washington wasn’t in the loop.

In the pre-dawn hours of June 1, Ukraine launched one of the most sophisticated and daring attacks in modern warfare. A drone blitz deep inside Russian territory wiped out dozens of high-value Russian military aircraft — including nuclear-capable bombers — across four major airfields.

The operation, codenamed “Spiderweb”, is already being called a turning point in the war. Not only because of its scale — over 40 aircraft destroyed, according to Ukrainian sources — but because of how it was done.

And most notably?

The United States wasn’t informed beforehand.

Yes — you read that right.

What really happened?

• Ukrainian special ops infiltrated Russian territory weeks ago, hiding long-range drones in wooden sheds and cargo trucks — all deep behind enemy lines.

• These drones were remotely activated across several Russian regions — including Murmansk, Irkutsk, and Ryazan — some 2,500 miles from Ukraine.

• Among the targets destroyed: TU-95 nuclear bombers, TU-22 fast-attack aircraft, and A-50 airborne command posts.

• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky personally oversaw the operation from Kyiv.

Ukrainian defense officials claim the drones bypassed Russian radar, using civilian patterns, terrain masking, and multi-node AI-based routing — tactics that stunned Western intelligence.

“We should have been told. America deserves to lead.” — Donald Trump

Trump’s allies are echoing the sentiment — raising fears about NATO’s cohesion and Washington’s waning influence in Eastern Europe.

Meanwhile, insiders in Brussels and Washington are whispering about a “new phase” of Ukraine’s autonomy — some even calling it “strategic decoupling”.

Let’s cut through the noise.

Ukraine just:

• Proved it can reach anywhere in Russia.

• Disarmed a large portion of Russia’s strategic air force.

• Demonstrated drone warfare supremacy — the kind we’ve only seen in Pentagon simulations.

And they did it without NATO, without the U.S., and without permission.

This is a country fighting for survival. And it just made clear: it’s no longer waiting for anyone’s green light.

Ironically, peace talks are set to resume in Istanbul this week.

But what kind of negotiation can happen when one side just got publicly humiliated?

Sources close to the Kremlin say Putin was blindsided and is reportedly furious at the FSB and air command. Russian state TV has already gone into damage control mode, calling the attacks “fabricated Western propaganda.”

But satellite imagery and open-source analysts are confirming: Ukraine hit hard, and the wreckage is real.

This isn’t collapse — yet. But it’s systemic degradation.

• Long-range bombing runs into Ukraine are no longer sustainable.

• Russian air superiority just took a historic blow.

• Ukraine is rewriting what asymmetric warfare looks like.

And now, Kyiv holds the cards. Not just militarily — but politically.

Ukraine just punched a hole in the myth of Russian invincibility — and Trump’s upset he wasn’t invited to the party.

This is no longer a question of defense. Ukraine is on offense, with its own strategy, its own intelligence, and increasingly — its own agenda.

That’s why your voice matters more than ever.

This movement — this message — is how we fight back against the silence.
