Russian airbase in Volgograd undergoes bombing, as reported by Ukraine
Ukraine Claims Sabotage of Russian Airbase
Here's a sneaky twist in the ongoing conflicts: Ukraine's Armed Forces took aim at the Marinovka airbase in Russia's Volgograd region last Friday night, knocking out several military aircraft. The Ukrainian forces, in cahoots with the Security Service (SBU), Special Operations Forces, and the regular Army, deployed long-range drones to carry out the operation.
The target? Four Su-34 fighter jets and an aircraft repair facility. The Su-34s, frontline tactical aviation aircraft, have wreaked havoc on Ukrainian positions with their guided aerial bombs. Unfortunately for the Russians, only two of their fighter jets managed to escape the havoc, while two were destroyed, and two others sustained damage.
The incident sparked a blaze at the technical maintenance facility at the airbase, suspectedly causing potential disruptions to the operational readiness of the Russian air units stationed there. As of reporting, the Russian authorities had yet to respond officially to Ukraine's actions.
Hours before the incident, the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed to have intercepted 13 drones in the same area and the adjacent districts, including Volzhsky city. Suspensions in traffic were temporarily imposed in the Kalachevsky district for cleanup operations following the drone attacks.
Intriguingly, the Marinovka airbase is nestled in the Kalachevsky district of Volgograd Oblast, around 900 kilometers southeast of Moscow. This attack is a testament to Ukraine's unrelenting efforts to disrupt Russian air abilities, putting pressure on military logistics and personnel in Russian territory during this ongoing conflict[1][2][3][4][5].
