kyiv carried out the most forceful attack against Russian aviation since 2022 using smuggled and camouflaged drones in trucks. The operation, which was aimed at strategic bombers Tu-95 and TU-22 in Russian territory, was meticulously planned by the Ukraine Security Service (SBU) for more than a year and a half.
The Russian authorities today denounced the first drone attack against a military base in Siberia, more than 6,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian capital. The attack was aimed at a military garnish in the Irkutsk region, the regional governor, Igor Kobzev, reported in his Telegram channel.
“Is the first in Siberia“added the governor, who did not want to specify the number of unmanned devices used. He did not directly accuse Ukraine, although he did reveal that the attack was made from a truck.
“The source from which the drones were already launched has already been blocked. The important thing is not to fall prey to panic. There is no threat to the life and health of civilians,” he said. Kobzev, who moved to the scene, said that members of the Federal Security Service, the Ministry for Emergency and the National Guard participate in the police operation.
So far the Ukrainian drones had only hit goals in the European Russia and rarely more north of the Russian capital.
The neighboring region of Buriatia, also bathed as Irkutsk by Lake Baikal, is next to Tuvá and Altái the one that contributed the most soldiers for every thousand inhabitants to the Russian military campaign.
The level of damage from Ukraine to Russia
Ukraine estimates that its operation against strategic bombers in Air Bases of Russia caused damage to US $ 7,000 million, according to the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) this Sunday. The operation, called “Telaraña”, implied large -scale drones against air bases inside Russia.
The attacks impacted 34% of Russian strategic bombers with the capacity to carry cruise missiles in their main air bases, according to the SBU. The service indicated that it would share more details later.
“We are doing everything possible to expel the enemy of our land! We will attack them by sea, air and earth. And, if necessary, we will even reach them from the subsoil,” said the statement.
