* 4x **Tu-22M** (Backfire) bombers (Belaya)

Operation SpiderWeb happened on 01.06.2025. Exactly a year ago tomorrow.
That day was carefully chosen.
1st of June:
* Military Transport Day in Russia aviation since 1931
* Children's day in Ukraine \*
* The day that Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons to Russia in 1996
^(\* Ukraine moved Children's day on 30.05.2025, just 2 days before SpiderWeb took place. It is now on November 20th instead of June 1st.)
It took 18 months between the start of planning and executing the mission.
SpiderWeb 2.0 when?
