Ukrainian forces carried out a massive drone attack targeting Russian bombers and other aircraft on Sunday, striking dozens of planes, a security source told Business Insider.

The source in the Security Service of Ukraine said that the agency carried out “a large-scale special operation” to destroy Russian bombers deep inside the country. They said that the attack drones hit at least 40 aircraft, including Beriev A-50 airborne early warning and control planes and Tupolev Tu-95 and Tupolev Tu-22M strategic bombers.

, like drones and missiles, that are looking for the aircraft.

“Enemy strategic bombers are burning en masse in Russia,” the SBU source shared in translated remarks. They said that Ukraine attacked four airbases across Russia and said Moscow’s losses amount to billions of dollars, adding that the number of damaged planes could increase.

The source said the operation, which was supervised by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, involved more than a year and a half of planning and was “extremely complex from a logistical point of view.”

The SBU transported numerous small first-person-view (FPV) drones to Russia, along with what looked like wooden shipping crates. Once all the pieces were in the country, the drones were hidden in the crates, which were placed on trucks. On Sunday, the tops of the crates were remotely opened, and the drones flew out.
