Ukraine Destroys Russian Jet in Drone Attack

Ukraine Strikes Deep Inside Russia with Daring Drone Attacks

Summary:
Ukraine has initiated a series of audacious drone attacks deep within Russian territory, causing significant damage to Putin’s military assets. The attacks have primarily targeted oil refineries to disrupt fuel supplies to Russian forces in Ukraine. Recently, Ukrainian drones struck two military air bases in Russia. Notably, an SU-57 fighter jet, valued at around £28m, was damaged in an attack on an airfield in Akhtubinsk, Astrakhan province. This incident marks a potential historic first combat loss for the SU-57. Another attack targeted the Mozdok military airfield in North Ossetia, home to TU-22M3 strike bombers and MiG 31-K fighter jets. These strikes have highlighted significant vulnerabilities in Russia’s air defense systems, with Ukrainian analysts pointing out a shortage of anti-aircraft systems and ammunition.
