Could the United States Have Done Ukraine’s Operation Spider Web?
06/29/2025
Ukraine’s Operation Spider Web stands as one of the most audacious military operations of the 21st century. It estimated that 117 drones were coordinated across 4,300 kilometers, destroying $7 billion in Russian aircraft for under $120,000 in equipment costs
The operation’s success raises a provocative question: Could the world’s most technologically advanced military have pulled off the same feat?
The answer reveals a fundamental paradox at the heart of American defense capabilities.
Despite possessing vastly superior technology, resources, and global reach, the U.S. military likely could not have executed Operation Spider Web as Ukraine did.
This limitation stems not from technical inadequacy, but from the very institutional frameworks that make America’s military powerful in conventional warfare.
