Russia strengthens the Air -Abise near Ukraine: what observers saw (video)

The satellite photos of Millervo Air Base in the Rostov region and Belbek in the occupied Crimea showed the construction of shelters, platforms for parking aircraft and positions for the S-300/C-400 SPR. The Russian air and space forces began to strengthen their airfields, located in relative proximity with Ukraine. Satellite images confirm the emergence of new air defense positions, as well as aircraft hangar, Defense24.

It is noted that after a series of successful blows on Russian airfields, Moscow increased security measures. Ukrainian drones and rockets have repeatedly struck the planes, fuel warehouses and ammunition, which forced the Russians to accelerate the construction of protective structures. Particularly intense work is carried out after the US Presidential Administration Joe Biden allowed Kiev to use US weapon long -range weapons for purposes in Russia.

Fearing losses from ATACMS ballistic missiles, Moscow temporarily relocated some of the aircraft from border bases. However, this does not mean refusing to use them. For example, Front bombers Su-34, performing combat missions from distant airfields, are forced to reduce combat load. The closer the base, the less time the aircraft is in the air, and therefore, the efficiency of combat departments increases.

The network has published satellite photos of Millervo Air Base in the Rostov region, located only 18 kilometers from the border with Ukraine and 150 kilometers from the front line. The images show new fortifications, including hangars-scattering, platforms for aircraft parking and positions for S-300/C-400 anti-aircraft complexes.

Similar works are carried out at other military aerodromes, such as Belbek Air Base in the occupied Crimea and the Primorsk-Shakhtersk airfield in the Krasnodar region. The main purpose of these measures is to protect aviation from attacks by Ukrainian UAVs and missiles, including Neptune. "Prior to the war, the Russians did not use shelters for airports without feeling the threat of attack.

However, after the start of a full -scale war with Ukraine, the situation began to change, which is manifested in the aforementioned work on the aerial buildings," - summed up Polish journalists. We will remind, on January 8 Ukrainian drones struck tanks with aviation fuel near the aviation base of the Russian PCS of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the city of Engels.
