Russia has suffered a significant loss of aviation ordnance at the Morozovsk air base in Rostov Oblast. Based on leaked photos of the aftermath of a Ukrainian attack on the base, Militarnyi says a large number of aviation ordnance of various types, including guided bombs and air-to-air missiles, were destroyed in the attack.
The Dosye Shpiona Telegram channel published photographic evidence of the aftermath, revealing the complete destruction of the Russian aviation ordnance depot.

The images show the remains of various weapons, including burned-out R-27 and R-73 air-to-air missiles, which are designed for air-to-air combat.
Among the destroyed weapons were high-explosive and fragmentation bombs such as FAB-500M62, FAB-500T, FAB-250, and OFAB-100-120, which the Russians had begun to convert into gliding bombs by installing UMPK kits.
The images also showed guided bombs weighing 1.5 tons – KAB-1500LG with laser guidance – among the destroyed ordnance.
Additionally, a container of the Khibiny electronic countermeasures system, torn off a destroyed Russian Su-34 at the airfield, was visible in one of the photos.
