Ukrainian drones strike three Russian military airfields, hit Tu-22m3 bomber
Drones of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Defense Ministry
of Ukraine (HUR) hit a Russian long-range strategic bomber Tu-22M3 at the
Olenya airfield in Russia, sources in the HUR told NV on July 27.
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. Local
authorities confirmed the UAV attack on the region, but claimed there were no
injuries.
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.
