How did the attack that hit themilitary airport Russian of Pskov? For the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanovthere are no doubts: the blitz against the site, located a few kilometers from the border with Estonia, was launched by the territory of Russia. According to Kiev there would have been no blitz coming from outside, and everything would have started from within the borders controlled by the Kremlin.
The attack on the Russian airport
Budanov spoke specifically of the attack on the Pskov airport, which took place in the night between Wednesday and Thursday. “We work from the territory of Russia‘ he said, according to reports from Rbc-Ukraine. However, the senior Ukrainian official did not specify whether the raid was carried out by Kiev Defense Intelligence or, conversely, by pro-Ukrainian Russian partisans.
Budanov himself also did not clarify which ones or how many drones were used in the attack, while specifying that two Russian aircraft “were destroyed and two were seriously damaged”. Kiev’s 007s had limited themselves to stating that the four transport planes Ilyushin Il-76 of the Russian Air Force hit at Pskov military airport had been “destroyed”. In contrast, Russia reported four aircraft damaged and zero destroyed.
Budanov’s words
One might think that the episode told is one of the many blitzes that occurred following the outbreak of war. In fact, the fact that Budanov highlighted the fact that the attack would have occurred from inside Russia suggests that Kiev may have somehow actually managed to bring “the war” at home of the Kremlin. “We are working from the territory of Russia,” Budanov told the site War Zone.
The damaged Russian planes in Pskov are long-range cargo planes, ideal for transporting troops and equipment over long distances, and therefore valuable military means for Russia. As noted by the Bbc, Ukrainian officials are generally very secretive about attacks occurring inside Russia. However, it seems that as the counter-offensive gathers pace, Kiev is increasingly willing to claim the mysterious blitzes as part of its war effort.
War at home
Ukraine’s drone war against Russia is now something of a daily routine. In the past few hours one would have been hit factory which manufactures electronic components for rockets in the city of Lubertsy, near Moscow. The mayor of the capital Sergei SobyaninHowever, he said on his Telegram channel that the drones above Lyubertsy were shot down without causing damage or casualties.
As was the case with previous attacks in the Moscow area, several flights from Moscow airports were delayed or canceled on Friday morning. The governor of the Kursk region, Roman Starovoyt, said a residential and administrative building were hit in the city of Kurchatovnear the Kursk NPP.
