View descriptionShare

Operation Spider’s Web was a Ukrainian attack that saw more than 100 drones target strategic bomber aircraft at sites deep inside Russia.

The country’s domestic intelligence service claimed that it caused €6 billion worth of damage to Russia’s military in an attack that it had been working on it for 18 months.

Fran and David talk to Dr Patrick Bury, Senior Associate Professor in Security at the University of Bath, about the logistics of the attack and what it means for the future of warfare.
