This is how Operation Spider's Web developed: experts modelled all stages of drone attacks on Russian airbases (video)

Discussions are still raging about the unique operation "Spider's Web", in the framework of which the Ukrainian security services, using cheap FPV drones and the latest technology, attacked military airfields throughout the territory of russia and destroyed a large number of strategic aircraft.

Of course, Ukraine does not disclose the secrets of the operation, but enough information has appeared on the web for experts to be able to model what happened.

Here's What We Know

3D-engineers of the popular YouTube channel Aitelly have studied information from open sources and compiled a detailed animated chronicle of how the operation "Spider Web" developed.

From the video's description:

Ukrainian engineers developed a clever drone launching system disguised as ordinary wooden houses mounted in the backs of lorries. These mobile containers looked like rural barns, but inside they had reinforced structures, hidden launch platforms, battery charging stations (probably solar panels) and remote-controlled roof mechanisms.

The design allowed the drones to be launched either vertically or at an angle, depending on their type, and inbuilt signal shielding helped them avoid early detection by Russian surveillance systems.

Once these mobile silos were ready, Ukrainian agents - perhaps with the help of local supporters - moved them deep into Russian territory. The trucks were quietly taken to pre-selected locations near key air bases, parked in places such as forests, farms or industrial areas where they blended into the landscape. They would remain idle for days or even weeks, with the drones pre-loaded, charged and awaiting the command to strike. When the time came, encrypted activation signals were sent remotely. The roofs of the containers opened and the drones took off - some vertically, others using ramps or compressed air launch systems for a silent start.

From the author: in our opinion the trucks were not parked for days or weeks: the drones were launched as soon as they arrived on site, otherwise the vehicles would have attracted attention and been declassified. Most likely, Wasp drones equipped with machine vision and AI were used for the operation, allowing them to automatically identify targets and attack them without the need for operators.

A simulated video from Aitelly shows the drones landing on the aircraft's most vulnerable spots to inflict maximum damage before exploding.
