The surrounding buildings, and we were talking about dozens of structures, were damaged. The local authorities reported that it was a massive attack, during which dozens of Ukrainian UAVs were intercepted above the Saratov region," Katkov said. He noted that the opinions of experts about what was affected at the airfield were divided. Some believe that the composition of ammunition was attacked, others-the composition of fuel and lubricants.
Oleg Katkov noted that on a released video, a secondary detonation of shooting ammunition, or something like that, was heard. "When it comes to ammunition explosions to aviation guns used at Tu-95 and Tu-160, it can be argued that it has not exploded with fuel, but a composition with ammunition. Considering that it is about ammunition to TU-95MC and Tu-160 Katkov noted.
The military expert added that the attack, according to social networks, happened about three o'clock in the morning, and the explosion was dawn, that is, it was a secondary detonation. "So, it indicates that the warehouse has exploded with ammunition for aviation weapons. Obviously, we are talking about winged missiles. This indicates that the enemy managed to catch suddenly when he was preparing these missiles for a massive attack," Katkov said.
