Ukraine targets Russian bomb stockpiles, fighter jets in airfield attack

[Ryan Robertson]

SICK AND TIRED OF GETTING PUMMELED BY GLIDE BOMBS–THE UKRAINIANS CONTINUE TO TARGET THE PLANES LAUNCHING THEM.
OVERNIGHT ON OCTOBER THIRD–KYIV SENT A VOLLEY OF DRONES INTO RUSSIA’S VORONZEZH OBLAST.

THE REPORTED TARGET OF THE STRIKING SWARM–A MILITARY AIRFIELD.

THE ATTACK, COORDINATED WITH UKRAINE’S SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES, FOCUSED ON WAREHOUSES CONTAINING GUIDED AERIAL BOMBS, HANGARS WITH SU-35 AND SU-34 FIGHTER JETS, AND AVIATION FUEL STORAGE FACILITIES.

THE BORISOGLEBSK AIRFIELD, LOCATED ABOUT 180 MILES FROM UKRAINE’S KHARKIV OBLAST, IS A KEY BASE FOR RUSSIAN AIRCRAFT RUNNING BOMBING IN UKRAINIAN TERRITORIES. THE ATTACK COMES AS UKRAINE RAMPS UP EFFORTS TO DISRUPT RUSSIAN AIRSTRIKES, PARTICULARLY AFTER RUSSIA’S INCREASED USE OF PRECISION-GUIDED MUNITIONS KNOWN AS KABS.

PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY RECENTLY HIGHLIGHTED THE THREAT POSED BY THESE WEAPONS, SAYING NEARLY 900 GUIDED BOMBS WERE LAUNCHED AGAINST UKRAINE IN JUST ONE WEEK.

RUSSIA’S DEFENSE MINISTRY CLAIMED ITS AIR DEFENSES INTERCEPTED 113 UKRAINIAN DRONES OVERNIGHT, WITH 25 DOWNED OVER VORONEZH OBLAST.

NASA FIRMS SATELLITE DATA CONFIRMED SEVERAL FIRE HOTSPOTS AT THE AIRFIELD, REPORTING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE.RUSSIAN SOCIAL MEDIA–WHICH IS OFTEN MORE ACCURATE THAN THE KREMLIN– ALSO REPORTED MULTIPLE DRONE FLYOVERS, AIR DEFENSE ACTIVATIONS, AND EXPLOSIONS IN THE AREA. THIS STRIKE IS THE LATEST MOVE IN UKRAINE’S EFFORT TO MORE OR LESS TAKE OUT THE ARCHER BEFORE THEY LET LOOSE THEIR ARROWS.
