Israel’s June 13, 2025, attack on Iranian nuclear and military targets, dubbed “Operation Rising Lion,” shares striking similarities with Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb, a covert drone attack on Russian air bases on June 1, 2025. (Grok)

Ukraine’s SBU Built Secret Long-Range Drones to Strike Russian Bombers in ‘Spiderweb’ Operation.

For the execution of Operation Spiderweb (Pavutyana), which resulted in the destruction of dozens of Russian strategic aircraft, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) deployed drones of its own design. Sources within the SBU told Kyiv Post that these UAVs are a unique development by the intelligence agency, incorporating advanced technologies.

“These drones are a unique innovation by the Security Service of Ukraine, equipped with cutting-edge technologies that allowed them to be remotely operated in real time from thousands of kilometers beyond Ukraine’s borders. They successfully bypassed enemy defenses and delivered precise strikes on strategic aviation targets,” an SBU source said.

Trump did a test run of Operation Rising Lion on Putin and the Russians. Apparently, the in country drones the CIA used yesterday took out the Iranian AD that proved so problematic last fall.

Putin has got to realize this as well in spite of Donald Sgt. Schultz’s routine on the phone. Below I’ll provide a link to Operation Rising Lion.

How will Putin and Xi react to this?

The quote from President Donald Trump, as reported by CNN's Dana Bash, is:

“You know the people I was dealing with are dead, the hardliners... They didn’t die of the flu; they didn’t die of Covid.”

Just after midnight on June 13, 2025, an Israeli operation codenamed Rising Lion unfolded in two distinct but mutually reinforcing acts. First came swarms of small explosive drones that Israeli commandos had reportedly pre-positioned inside Iran months earlier, striking air-defense radars and communications nodes, while decoying attention toward Tehran’s western approaches. Minutes later, over 200 Israeli fighter aircraft—many of them F-35 Adirs carrying standoff munitions—conducted precision strikes against more than 100 nuclear and military targets across Iran, including senior military leaders.
The result was operational dislocation: Iranian early-warning networks were saturated by low-observable drones, senior commanders were killed or forced into hardened shelters, and decisionmaking channels fractured just as long-range penetrating fires arrived. This shock-and-awe approach by Israel explains the limited initial Iranian response, firing only 100 drones compared to the mixture of over 200 drones and ballistic and cruise missiles fired during Operation True Promise in April 2024.

Similarities are precision strikes using drones, but Israel’s attack on Iran was even more sophisticated using 200 jets in addition to drones, and much more deadly taking out 4 generals and nuclear scientists. “Git er done”, Israel!

Something for Xi and Putin to think about.

There are many more like it. All Jasmine Crocket wanna be.

Hardspunned “Trump did a test run of Operation Rising Lion on Putin and the Russians.”

So you think that President Trump ordered and orchestrated the Ukrainian counter-attack on Muscowite bombers? Really?
