The authorities reassured the Russians that the Triumph air defense system was used for the first time in the region. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, air defense forces destroyed a Ukrainian drone over the territory of the Pskov region, but for some reason woke up from the roar in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region.
The UAV was hit by an S-400 anti-aircraft missile system.
At Pulkovo airport, the airspace was closed due to a UAV attack. Fontanka writes that the city was attacked by a UAV. The drone allegedly fell on the territory of the Nevsky Mazut plant. There was no serious fire – the three empty tanks were quickly extinguished, the publication claims.
From the northern border of Ukraine to the territory of the Pskov region – approximately 500 km in a straight line, through Belarus.
Ukrainian drones last year struck a military airfield near Pskov, located in the north of the region, at the far end of Ukraine, and in January, suspected Ukrainian drones carried out two strikes on targets on the shores of the Gulf of Finland. They are about 900 km from the Ukrainian border.
