Aftermath of Ukraine drone strike on Russian airfields shown in satellite imagery
An analysis by multiple experts of new video and satellite images suggests that at least 11 Russian bomber aircraft and one large transport plane were badly damaged or destroyed in Ukraine's drone attack on Sunday.
Video released on Wednesday by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) gives more details on the attack, the full extent of which has been unclear.
Ukraine's government said over 40 aircraft were destroyed in an attack on at least four air bases on Monday.
On Wednesday, two United States officials said around 10 planes had been destroyed and a total of around 20 were targeted in the attack.

The video from the SBU released Wednesday opens with a view of the Olenya air base with multiple drones landing on Tu-95 and Tu-22 bombers and an An-12 transport plane. Explosions from other drones and burning planes can be seen in some of the clips.
At Olenya, according to the defense intelligence firm Janes, a company using open-source information to provide intelligence, four Tu-95 bombers and one An-12 were destroyed. Janes said they based their analysis on video and multiple satellite images.
Analysts with the private intelligence firm MAIAR wrote in a report, provided to ABC News, that no significant damage was visible at the base and that imagery suggested eight A-50s remained in the same position as seen in earlier images.
Two A-50 aircraft are seen at Russia's Ivanovo air base in a video posted by SBU on June 4.
After the appearance of the A-50s in the video from Ukraine's SBU released Wednesday, a series of clips shows drones landing on and around large airplanes at Russia's Dyagilevo air base.
Scorch marks on the ground suggested Russia's Dyagilevo air base was likely targeted in the attack, according to Janes, but there was no visible evidence of damage to aircraft there.
MAIAR's analysts also pointed to ground scarring near areas where aircraft had been stored.
After reviewing the SBU's video, the open-source intelligence analyst Brady Africk told ABC News the video pointed to evidence of damage to at least one Tu-22.

According to Africk, a damaged Tu-22 bomber is seen at Russia's Dyagilevo air base.
The video from Ukraine's SBU closes with a series of clips from the Belaya air base, where several smoke plumes and fires are seen as drones target multiple planes.
There, the wreckage of three Tu-95 and four Tu-22 bombers could be seen in a June 4 image from Planet Labs, according to an analysis by Janes.
MAIAR's analysts reached the same conclusion, highlighting evidence in the satellite imagery of ground scarring and burned grass in two areas of the base.
Africk, the open-source intelligence analyst, told ABC News that destroyed Tu-95 and Tu-22 bombers could be seen at the base.
Both types of bombers have been used in long-range strikes on Ukraine, Africk told ABC News.

Putin says Russia plans to deepen military-technical ties with 'friendly countries'
ST PETERSBURG, Russia (Reuters) -President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that Russia intends to develop military and technical cooperation with "friendly countries" with whom Moscow wants to jointly produce arms and train military personnel. In a speech at Russia's showcase economic forum in St Petersburg, Putin said Moscow also planned to modernise its own armed forces and their bases by equipping them with the latest weapons and technology. "We will harness new technology to improve the combat capabilities of the Russian armed forces, modernise military infrastructure facilities, (and) equip them with the latest technology and weapons and equipment," he said. "At the same time, we intend to develop military-technical co-operation with friendly countries. And we are talking not only about supplies or the modernisation of equipment and weapons, but also about joint development, personnel training, and the creation of turn-key enterprises and production facilities," he said. Talking about global trade, Putin said Russia planned to develop trade ties with its partners by removing barriers, opening up market niches and deepening investment cooperation.

Vladimir Putin is more vulnerable than ever
It is not just Iran's ayatollahs who will be fretting about the impact of Israel's devastating military assault on their country. The destruction wrought on Iran's military infrastructure is also bad news for other despotic regimes, such as Russia, that have come to rely heavily on Tehran for support. Ever since it finally dawned on Russian president Vladimir Putin that his so-called 'special military operation' in February 2022 was not, as he boasted, going to be completed within a number of days, Moscow has invested a great deal of effort in forging closer ties with Tehran. Russia and Iran are not natural allies. The Iranian people retain bitter memories of the Soviet invasion during the Second World War. Despite this, a mutually beneficial alliance has developed between Moscow and Tehran: the Russians were heavily involved in construction of Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant. The Ukraine conflict, though, has resulted in a serious upgrade in ties between the two countries. This started in the summer of 2022 when Putin visited Tehran and negotiated a deal for Iran to supply his beleaguered Russian forces with drones and missiles. These weapons have subsequently been used in attacks on the Ukrainian military and critical infrastructure. Russia's deepening reliance on Iran for military support, moreover, resulted in Putin signing a 20-year 'comprehensive strategic partnership' with Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian in Moscow in January this year – just three days before Donald Trump's inauguration to serve a second term as president. In return for Iran maintaining supplies of drones, missiles and other military equipment for Russia's military campaign in Ukraine, Moscow indicated its willingness to boost Iran's air defences and air forces. This has clearly failed to deter Israel from launching its military offensive. The partnership also includes a vague commitment for both sides to provide military assistance in the event of either side being invaded or attacked. Putin is unlikely to fulfil this because of his close ties with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Putin's primary concern, though, will be the impact that Israel's continuing assault on Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure will have on Tehran's ability to continue its support for Russia's war effort in Ukraine. From the start of Israel's attack last week, the Israel Defence Forces have deliberately targeted Iran's drone and missile production facilities, as well as their launch systems, to limit Iran's ability to target Israel. The strategy appears to have paid dividends. The number of Iranian drones and missiles being reportedly fired at Israel has fallen significantly. If the Iranians are unable to provide sufficient weaponry for their own military campaign against Israel, they will be in no position to support Russia's offensive in Ukraine. Another consideration that will be weighing heavily on Putin's mind is the prospect of losing another important ally in the Middle East, so soon after the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria at the end of last year. A key factor in Putin's effort to rebuild Russia's global stature has been to increase its influence in this region, with the Kremlin making a concerted effort to demonstrate that it is a more reliable ally, especially for the Arab world, than the US. In this respect Russia's military intervention in Syria in 2015 to prevent Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad from being overthrown by Islamist rebels played an important role in burnishing Moscow's credentials; it also enabled Moscow to develop two important military bases in the eastern Mediterranean. With Assad now languishing in exile in Moscow, and the ayatollahs locked in an existential fight for survival against Israel, Putin's standing in the region is in danger of precipitous collapse. Iran's plight also places Putin in a quandary because of his close relationship with Netanyahu. The Russian leader has previously had no qualms about turning a blind eye to Israeli attacks against Iran when it suited his interests. During the Syria conflict, when Russian and Iranian forces were both fighting for the common cause of keeping Assad in power, the Russians frequently turned off their air defence systems to allow Israel to attack Iranian positions in Syria. Nor is Russia the only member of the recently formed axis of despotic states – the other members being North Korea, China and Iran – that will be casting anxious looks at the unfolding drama in Tehran. Pyongyang has a long-established cooperation pact with Tehran: the two countries have worked closely on the development of their respective nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. Beijing, meanwhile, has its own strategic partnership with Tehran dating back to 2021. China, the world's largest energy consumer, is keen to take full advantage of Iran's vast resources. But this arrangement is now in question; Israel is directly targeting Iran's oil and gas infrastructure. Israel's military campaign against Iran is not just threatening the ayatollahs' survival. It will have serious repercussions for all those other despotic regimes who mistakenly thought their interests would be best served by aligning themselves with Tehran.

Putin boasts about Russia's economy despite recession fears
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — President Vladimir Putin on Friday hailed Russia's economic outlook, saying it has managed to curb inflation and ease its reliance on energy exports. His optimistic account in a speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum contrasted with somber statements by some members of his government who warned at the same conference that Russia could face a recession. Economic Minister Maxim Reshetnikov had said Thursday that the country is 'on the brink of going into a recession.' Putin mentioned the recession warnings, but emphasized that 'it mustn't be allowed.' He pointed out that manufacturing industries have posted steady growth, allowing the country to reduce its reliance on oil and gas exports. 'The perception of Russian economy as based on raw materials and dependent on hydrocarbons exports have clearly become outdated,' Putin said, adding that the economy grew by 1.5% in the first four months of 2025 and inflation has dropped from double digits to 9.6%. Putin has used the annual forum to highlight Russia's economic prowess and encourage foreign investment, but Western executives have shunned it after Moscow sent troops into Ukraine in 2022, leaving it to business leaders from Asia, Africa and Latin America. The economy, hit with a slew of Western sanctions, has so far outperformed predictions. High defense spending has propelled growth and kept unemployment low despite fueling inflation. Large recruiting bonuses for military enlistees and death benefits for those killed in Ukraine also have put more income into the country's poorer regions. But over the long term, inflation and a lack of foreign investments pose threats to the economy. Economists have warned of mounting pressure on the economy and the likelihood it would stagnate due to lack of investment in sectors other than the military.
