Ukraine’s Military Intelligence behind strikes on Russian airfields — source
Ukrainian Military Intelligence has been
coordinating several undercover teams to carry out UAV strikes targeting
strategic bomber aircraft deep inside Russian territory, an informed source
told NV on Aug. 21.
In the last few days, these sabotage groups have disabled five Russian military aircraft that were part of Moscow’s terror bombing campaign against Ukraine, according to our source.
Early in the morning on Aug. 21, two bombers were damaged at Shaikovka airfield in Russia’s Kaluga Oblast.
“These drone operations are coordinated by [Military Intelligence] and have inflicted significant losses on the enemy's aviation,” our contact said.
“And most importantly, these planes [Tu-22M3 strategic bombers] are no longer produced in [Russia].”
On Aug. 19, agents working with Ukrainian Military Intelligence attacked a military airfield in Soltsy, Novgorod Oblast, with drones. One Tu-22M3 bomber was destroyed, and two other planes were damaged. Moscow eventually admitted that the attack left one aircraft “damaged,” even though a widely-shared photo showed the plane completely engulfed in flames.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
