Full Video: Ukrainian Drone Takes Out Russian TU-22M Bomber
Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) has released extraordinary footage of a drone strike that destroyed a Russian TU-22M strategic bomber, offering one of the most comprehensive visual accounts yet of Ukraine’s growing drone warfare capabilities.
The video, embedded below, shows the entire mission—from the moment the drone is launched from a van roof, to its successful impact hundreds on a nearby Russian airbase. The TU-22M, a supersonic bomber used by Russia to launch long-range cruise missiles, is seen being struck directly by the incoming drone in a precision attack.

The TU-22M—also known by its NATO designation “Backfire”—has played a key role in Russia’s bombing campaigns against Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion. This strike not only neutralizes a valuable military asset, but also sends a clear message about Ukraine’s evolving capability to strike far behind enemy lines.
As Ukraine continues to adapt to battlefield constraints, this operation reflects a broader shift toward asymmetric tactics that combine technological ingenuity with bold execution.
