The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has announced that its operational-tactical and army aviation, missile forces, and artillery units have successfully targeted several key military installations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The strike reportedly took place at the Dolgintsevo airfield in the Dnipropetrovsk region, where a Su-25 attack aircraft was hit. Additionally, a missile launcher from the “Tochka-U” missile complex was destroyed in the vicinity of Peresechnoye in the Kharkiv region, while an S-300 anti-aircraft missile system was targeted near Mykolaiv. Furthermore, two radar stations responsible for detecting and tracking aerial targets, located in Malovarvarovka in the Mykolaiv region, were also reportedly destroyed.
According to the Russian military, warehouses containing aviation weapons in the towns of Dubievska in the Cherkasy region and Pryluky in the Chernihiv region, as well as aviation fuel depots at the “Myrhorod” airfield in the Poltava region and the “Ozerne” airfield in the Zhytomyr region, were successfully hit.
Denis Fedutinov, the editor-in-chief of the “Drone Aviation” magazine, previously commented on the recent drone strike near Kryvyi Rih. The expert noted that in this particular case, it is likely that a modified drone with a container launch system was used, allowing for a faster takeoff compared to the standard version.
