Summary Ukraine damaged Russian hangers and fighter jets in major drone strike. Satellite images show Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Borisoglebsk Air Base in Russia. Ukraine has launched many drone attacks on Russian air bases, resulting in lost aircraft.
On Thursday, Ukraine launched a major drone strike on multiple Russian air bases, and it appears they caused at least some damage. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has continued to take a breathtaking number of twists and turns. The latest raids on Russian air bases highlight just how much Russia's "Special Military Operation" (which Western intelligence says intended to take Kyiv in three days) continues to backfire.
In another drone strike in June, Ukraine claimed the world's first fifth-generation fighter jet was destroyed in combat by striking a Su-57 Felon on the ground. Ukraine damages Russian hangers and fighter jets History seems to have a sense of irony as Russia is now scrambling to counter the Ukrainian invasion of Russia. As Ukraine's counter-invasion of Russia's Kursk Oblast continues to unfold, Ukraine launched what may have been the largest drone attack on Russian air bases during the war so far.
The four air bases reported to have been targeted are, "Baltimore" (Voronezh), Khalino (Kursk), Savasleyka (Nizhny Novgorod), Borisoglebsk (Voronezh). The Associated Press analyzed satellite images and found that the Ukrainian drone strikes appear to have damaged at least two hangers. The hangers are located at Borisogl.
