A new special operation against Putin is being planned
New threats and statements against Russian President Vladimir Putin are widely discussed on social media. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to TopNews, a Ukrainian military analyst known by the name Miroshnikov made an open statement in Budapest about a special operation called “Spider Web 2.0.” He emphasized that this operation aims to target only one aircraft.
Miroshnikov’s views were supported by many users on social media. According to them, Ukraine is fully justified in carrying out such an operation.
The previously known operation method called “Spider Web” involved surprise attacks, where combat drones are launched from close range before defense systems can respond. Additionally, Miroshnikov mentioned the possibility of sabotage not only targeting the Russian president’s aircraft but also carried out through the territory of one of Europe’s allied countries.
This situation revived memories related to assassination attempts against Putin in Russian mass media. It is known that during his presidency, Putin faced at least twelve assassination attempts.
All of these were thwarted by special services. Experts emphasize that the actual number might be even higher than what is publicly known.
The first known attempt occurred at the end of 1999 when Putin’s helicopter came under fire during a trip to Chechnya. In 2000, assassination attempts were prevented during the funeral of Anatoly Sobchak in Saint Petersburg and also in Yalta.
In 2001, Azerbaijani special services stopped an attack planned against Putin in Baku. Similar attempts were recorded in subsequent years as well.
For example, in 2019, Serbian police detained a radical individual during Putin’s visit, finding optical weapons and symbols of a terrorist organization on him. Thus, discussions surrounding the “Spider Web 2.0” operation not only intensified threats on the internet but also once again made the issue of the Russian leader’s personal security a pressing topic.
