Russia's bombers are still attacking Ukraine steadily despite Operation Spiderweb, the UK MOD said.
It observed over 70 cruise missiles fired in July, saying it shows the "resilience" of Russia's fleet.
Still, Ukrainian media previously reported that Russia is having to cram missiles on its bombers.
Russia's long-range bombers are still assailing Ukraine at a steady pace despite June's daring drone attack against the fleet, the UK's defense ministry said in a recent assessment.
In an intelligence update on Wednesday, the British ministry wrote that it had observed seven long-range attack packages launched against Ukraine in July, involving at least 70 "premier munitions" — powerful cruise missiles.
"Russian Long Range Aviation bombers have maintained their offensive tempo, continuing to demonstrate the resilience and retained capability of the fleet following Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb on June 1, 2025," the ministry wrote.
