NPR's Joanna Kikis has more. In his nightly video address, Zelensky said 117 first-person view drones were used in what Ukraine's security services calls Operation Spiderweb. Zelenskyy said, we prepared for this operation for more than a year and a half. The organization and details were perfectly prepared.
So there's a lot we don't know, and we're still working to piece it together. But what we do know is that this operation was so high profile that President Zelensky himself oversaw it. We know it was so secretive they didn't even tell the Americans. And we know the goal was to secret these drones into Russia and close to these air bases so they can hit these bombers.
