Ukrainian drones strike three Russian military airfields, hit Tu-22m3 bomber

The attack on the airfield, which is located near Olenegorsk, 1,800 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, was carried out in the early hours of July 27, the source said.

The UAV strikes also hit an oil refinery in Ryazan, the sources said.

The HUR drones also attacked two more airfields at night - Engels in Saratov Oblast and Dyagilevo in Ryazan Oblast. The results of the UAV attacks are currently being clarified.

Since the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine, the Olenya airfield in Russia’s Murmansk Oblast has been used to launch missile strikes from Tu-95 and Tu-22 aircraft on the territory of Ukraine.

Explosions were heard at night near the Dyagilevo military airfield in Russia’s Ryazan Oblast. The 43rd Center for Combat Use and Aircrew Training, equipped with Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 aircraft, is stationed there.
