Russia has reportedly lost a MiG-31 carrier of hypersonic Kinzhal missiles. On the night of 9 June, Ukraine carried out a precise strike on the Savasleyka airfield in Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod Oblast.
The Savasleyka airfield has been frequently used to organize strikes against Ukrainian territory.
Therefore, destroying these aircraft is a serious blow to Russia’s ability to conduct missile attacks with hypersonic weapons.
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as a result of the operation, at least two Russian aircraft were hit, most likely MiG-31 and Su-30/34 jets. Information is being updated and clarified.
Ukrainian military officials emphasize that such operations are part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce the enemy’s capacity to carry out air attacks on Ukraine.
The General Staff states that strikes on targets enabling Russian aggression will continue until the war is completely stopped.
