Ukrainian drones attacked the Shaykovka airfield and a warehouse
At night, powerful explosions rang out near the settlement of Oktyabrskyi, Tver region. The SSU attacked 23 arsenals of the main artillery department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation with drones.
The warehouse contained rockets for "Iskanders" and "Points-U", as well as artillery ammunition.
After the attack of the drones, a fire started, five centers of fire appeared. Detonation of ammunition began at the affected warehouse.
The SSU also hit the Shaykovka airfield in the Kaluga region with drones. It is there that TU-22M aircraft are stationed, which periodically bombard Ukraine with missiles.
The SSU will continue to work to reduce the military potential of the Russian Federation. This week, the arsenal in Toropka, Tver region, was already attacked.
Attack on the arsenal in Toropka
The operation of the Ukrainian special services took place on September 18 and will have great consequences for the Russian army. The 107th arsenal of GRAU in the Tver region was the largest arsenal in Russia.
There will be rockets for "Iskander" in the warehouse in Toropka. There is a possibility that North Korean KN-23 missiles were there.
Its defeat may complicate the situation of the Russian Armed Forces in the Kursk region, where the Defense Forces of Ukraine are conducting a military operation.
British intelligence believes that there were about 30,000 tons of ammunition at the affected warehouse.
