Defense forces carried out the largest attack on Russian military airfields during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Defense Forces with drones.
Points of attention
- A specially planned operation of long-range drones of the SBU and the Defense Forces of Ukraine is aimed at weakening the Russian war machine.
- The attack on 4 airfields of the Russian Federation, in particular on the airfields "Voronezh", "Kursk", "Savasleyka" and "Borysoglebsk", was the largest during the entire war.
- Russian air defense could not defend the attack, which caused significant losses to the enemy's aviation infrastructure.
- Ukraine continues to clip the wings of Russian planes to prevent their use for strikes on Ukrainian territory.
Ukraine attacked four airfields of the Russian Federation at once
According to the sources, long-range drones of the Defense Forces (SBU, PS, SSO, Center for Unmanned Systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, GUR of the Ministry of Defense and other branches of the military) carried out the largest attack on Russian military airfields during the entire war.
"Loud night" was today at the airports "Voronezh", "Kursk", "Savasleyka" and "Borysoglebsk".
Sources confirm that this was a specially planned operation, so that the enemy could not use these airfields for KAB strikes on the front line and Ukrainian cities.
Russian military personnel wrote on social networks that the strike was effective, as Russian air defense was unable to protect these objects.
In addition, local media reported 10 explosions only at Savasleyka, from where MiGs regularly take off and terrorize the whole of Ukraine with air alarms.
We are waiting for satellite photos with destroyed Russian fighters and warehouses. The SBU continues to methodically weaken the aviation component of the Russian military machine. It is the planes that are currently giving the enemy an advantage in the air, but we will continue to clip the wings of these "birds," the source notes.
