The occupying army began to build protective hangars for its own aircraft 300 km from the border with Ukraine.
What is known about Russian attempts to protect its aircraft from Ukrainian missiles and drones
It is noted that the construction of protective hangars by the aggressor country for its aircraft was recorded by satellites at Marinovkau airfield in the Volgograd region of the Russian Federation, 300 km from the Ukrainian border.
In particular, satellite images show 12 hangar structures that are supposed to protect Su-24 front-line bombers and Su-34 fighter-bombers.

According to the portal, the Russian occupiers hope that these hangars will protect their aircraft from attacks by Ukrainian attack drones and additional ATACMS missile ammunition.
Also, the hangars will not allow satellites and other optical detection means to know whether the hangar is empty or an aircraft is parked there.
It is not known what materials the hangars are made of currently, but judging by their appearance, they probably have minimal protection against debris.
What is known about Russia's attempts to protect the Crimean bridge
According to the spokesman of the Southern Defense Forces, Dmytro Pletenchuk, in his comments to the journalists of the "Pryamiy" TV channel, the occupying army of the Russian Federation has significantly strengthened the protection of the illegally built Crimean bridge.
He emphasised that the Russian occupiers could no longer protect the bridge from the sea.
The spokesman of the Southern Defense Forces noted that the Russian Federation's criminal army uses various types of aircraft to protect the bridge.
He explained that destroying such an object as the Crimean Bridge is very difficult.
In addition, the military officer noted doubts about the practicality of destroying the bridge.
