June 1 saw Ukraine launch Operation Spiderweb, a covert drone strike from inside Russian territory that damaged or destroyed 41 Russian aircraft, causing an estimated $7 billion in losses. Just ten days later, Russia began redeploying bombers—most notably the $500 million Tu-160s—over 4,000 miles away to the remote Anadyr airbase in Siberia.
Satellite imagery and multiple reports confirm this mass relocation, including 7 Tu-160s moved from Belaya, 3 from Olenya, and others sent to Kamchatka and Tatarstan. Additional aircraft, such as Tu-22M3s and Tu-95MS bombers, have been moved across Russia to avoid future Ukrainian strikes. This withdrawal marks a significant shift in Russia’s aerial strategy—and a major concession to Ukraine’s new long-range capabilities.
