THIS is the moment a smuggled Ukrainian drone launched from the roof of a lorry — and blitzed a Russian Tu-22M3 bomber in a direct hit.
The incredible footage, part of Ukraine’s covert “Operation Spiderweb,” tracks the FPV drone from launch to impact in stunning detail.

It shows the drone lifting off from the top of what appears to be a transport vehicle — camouflaged as part of everyday infrastructure.
The FPV is then seen skimming across enemy territory and diving into a high-value target at Russia’s Belaya airfield.
As the drone closes in, smoke is already seen rising from previous strikes – the aftermath of a calculated blitz that’s left Russia’s long-range air force in shambles.
The strike is part of a larger, high-stakes campaign that’s left a trail of wreckage across four of Russia’s strategic air bases, including Olenya, Ivanovo, Dyagilevo, and Belaya.
“This operation was directly led by the Head of the SBU Vasyl Malyuk on the instructions of the President of Ukraine, Supreme Commander-in-Chief Volodymyr Zelensky,” the SBU confirmed.
The Operation delivered a staggering $7 billion blow to Vladimir Putin’s long-range bomber fleet – responsible for relentless missile assaults on Ukrainian cities.
