Landing on the Cossack Lopan or unloading of aviation. Why in the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation build a new airfield and how to hit it

Air harbor 75 kilometers from the border with Ukraine are actively completed against the backdrop of rumors about the Russian offensive in early summer. According to the occupiers, the assault aviation should support the units during the attack of the northern Kharkiv region. The focus found out what the Ukrainian defense forces would answer and whether the rocket's arrival should be expected. In the Belgorod region, a new military airfield is being built 75 kilometers from the border with Ukraine.

As of April 27, the base layer of the runway about 1. 8 kilometers in length was laid. Transport aircraft An-26, AN-72, IL-76, as well as Su-25 attack aircraft, OSINT-researchers of Redintelpanda, may take off from the airfields. The expert notes that the airfield is located 9 kilometers from the city of Oleksiyivka, an important logistics center of the Russian army group "West". During the Great War in Ukraine, the settlement became a hub for storage and transportation of fuel.

The aerodrome in the Belgorod region began in July 2023. Initially, the Air Harbor was intended for business lines, but over time, the plans of the Russian authorities have changed, says the focus of the Armed Forces General Staff of the Armed Forces, military expert Vladislav Seleznev. The Armed Forces Command has been processed by the airfield for military needs for the dispersion of aviation, so that the Armed Forces did not destroy the rocket stroke of fighter accumulation.

Given the geography of the new airfield and statements about Russia's possible offensive in early summer, the appearance of the aerodrome looks logical. Fighting planes will support the occupation units and exert large -scale pressure to the north of Kharkiv region. "I note that the Armed Forces will be received by this time by US missiles atacms. Let's see if there will be arrivals on the Russian facility in the near future," the analyst emphasizes.

In addition to aviation support, the aerodrome is needed to roll over the assault units that arrive from the Far East and North of Russia. Another option is also possible: the throwing of the aviation squadron from the Primorsko-Akhtarsk, cities in Krasnodar region, for work near Kharkiv, explains the focus of the air expert, a leading researcher of the State Museum of Aviation Valery Romanenko.

The new facility will not become a permanent air base for the military unit because of the vulnerability before Western weapons. Reactive volley fire systems (RSZV) "Alder" and Himars will reach it if they are covered with drones and put closer to the front line. "In the case of air threats, it is possible to hit the runway of the aerodrome and disable it for a few days," Romanenko said. Russian invaders regularly fire Kharkiv and an area of ​​artillery, RSSV and C-300 missiles.

Recently, the launches of managed aircraft. Air attacks on the eastern region intensified against the backdrop of rumors about a new major Russian offensive in late May - early summer. High -ranking Ukrainian intelligence officials informed the Financial Times newspaper that, on the eve of the new operation, the Russian Army strikes rocket strikes in Kharkiv and other strategically important cities.

The source of the German Bild tabloid in the Armed Forces was concerned about the attack on the Kharkiv military group with a number of 20,000 to 40,000 people. After two years of hostilities, the Russians realized how to effectively use forces for offensive operations and now a countless bomb flies to the front, adds the interlocutor. "Not before, only a few hangars, but in every building we keep," the officer commented.

According to the military observer of the "Information Resistance" group Alexander Kovalenko, the military group of the Russian Federation "North", which is outside the war zone, increased from 35. 5 thousand to almost 50 thousand people. However, the increase of this level is insufficient for a full invasion, the capture of Kharkiv, Sumy or Chernihiv. There is a likelihood of penetration of invaders into the border settlements of Kharkiv region, for example, in the Cossack Lopan or Goptivka.

"The entrance of diversional groups of mouth -level is also considered an invasion, but it is a terrorist activity, not a general military operation," the expert explained the focus. Military transport aircraft flying from the airfield in the Belgorod region will not provide the Armed Forces of Russia with urgent transfer of personnel or equipment.

Avayexpert Valery Romanenko believes that the overwhelming of the landing through the flow to the Ukrainian border areas is not the best idea, because they depend on regular supplies of weapons, fuel, ammunition and products. "Even if the RFCS fighters do not fly to us, Il-76 will not come in. We will remind, since April 30 Russian troops intensified in Kupyansk direction. Artillery and mortar strikes are applied to settlements next to the collision line.
