Russia cannot restore its strategic aviation after the Security Service operation 'Web'

The military potential of Russia after the 'Web' operation

According to Главком: The Russian Federation cannot restore its military potential after the 'Web' operation conducted by the Security Service of Ukraine in June 2025. The 'Web' operation was prepared for more than a year and a half. The then head of the SBU, Vasyl Malyuk, personally oversaw this operation, which inflicted serious losses on Russian strategic aviation.

Despite all attempts by the Kremlin to conceal the real scale of the losses suffered, Russia still cannot overcome the consequences of this attack. Restoring the capability of strategic aviation remains a difficult task for it. To protect its aircraft, the Russian side is trying to use car tires, which is part of the tactics that Russia has been employing since 2024. This strategy indicates the serious challenges faced by the country's military aviation in the context of modern conflict.

The impact of Ukrainian special operations on regional security

This situation underscores the significant impact of Ukrainian special operations on the strategic balance in the region. The loss of military potential for Russia could have far-reaching consequences for security in Europe as it compels the country to adapt its military strategies and seek new ways to defend. Given the ongoing threats, this may contribute to strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities and the formation of new alliances in the region.
