Last night, the Russian army launched another attack with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on military targets in territories controlled by the Kyiv regime. This follows from reports by Russian war correspondents and Ukrainian sources on the Internet.
The military airfield in Starokonstantinov, Khmelnitsky region, was hit. It was hit by Russian kamikaze drones “Geranium”.
The airfield in Starokonstantinov is of fundamental importance for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Two air flights of Su-24 bombers are stationed here, which were converted to launch British-French-made Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG cruise missiles, the Military Review information and analytical portal notes today, December 18.
With these missiles, the Ukrainian Armed Forces periodically launch attacks on Russian territories in the Donbass, in Zaporozhye, and try to attack the Crimean Peninsula with them. Thus, the destruction of carriers of Western long-range strike systems is of great importance for the Russian army.
Ukrainian sources report that after a signal about the appearance of “Geraniums” in the sky over the Khmelnitsky region, it soon became known about explosions in the area of the airfield in Starokonstantinov. For obvious reasons, the Ukrainian media are diligently keeping silent about the consequences of the arrivals.
As reported EADaily, earlier this month, several nights in a row “flew” at the Starokonstantinov airfield (located 5 km east of the city of the same name in the Khmelnitsky region). There, the Russian army is systematically destroying infrastructure, including shelters for F-16 fighters, which Kyiv hopes to receive from Western arms sponsors.
