That is why last Saturday, April 27, Ukraine sent dozens of long -range drones to the air base in the south of the Russian Federation and blew up a warehouse full of "smart" kits for the cabin. Forbes writes about it. The video and satellite images of the effects of the attack on the Kushchivska Air Base, located approximately 200 km from the front line, depicted burned buildings and piles of Cab.
The pictures can also indicate the destruction of at least one Su-34 fighter, which are considered to be the main carriers. To change the firing power balance, you will need a lot more than one raid to aircraft base. The opportunities for Ukraine to harm Russian tactical aviation, especially the one that uses corrected bombs - will become key to defense, noted in the UK Ministry of Defense. Since the middle of last year, the cabin became the main aviation ammunition of the Russian CCS.
These gross analogues of American JDAM and French Hammer have sliding wings, and the radius of action - about 40 km. They allow Russian aircraft to act outside the radius of Ukrainian air defense. Each bomb contains hundreds of kg of explosives, the explosion leaves a funnel 6 meters deep and about 20. "All buildings and structures simply turn into a pit after one bomb,"-wrote a fighter of the 3rd assault brigade Yegor Shugar.
The cabin is a miracle weapon for the Russians, the Ukrainian analytical group of DeepState said, and Ukraine has virtually no protection against them. It remains, except, only to undermine warehouses, where the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation store these bombs before installing four pieces on Su-34 bombers. It is unknown what Ukrainian drones attacked Kushchivsk. These could be former Soviet intelligence drones with warheads instead of cameras or unmanned sports aircraft.
Let it be there, this attack was large -scale. The Russian Federation reported that 66 drones were knocked down. But not all. One accurately impressed the main target of the raid: a barn full of aircraft. Having destroyed, perhaps, dozens of bombs, Ukrainian drone operators gave their comrades for a short break - a day or so. But many more raids on Russian bases will be needed to significantly limit Russian booth attacks in the long run.
