Defense Express announced a record strike against the Russian Federation

The strike on the Russian Olenya airfield on Saturday, July 27, set a record distance for Ukrainian drones. This is what Defense Express military expert Ivan Kirichevsky told Espresso.

“At the moment, we do not know anything about the results of the attack of our drones on the Olenya airfield. However, what is interesting is that the Ukrainian drones have not yet reached a distance of 1,800 km. Even if we calculate the distance from on the border of the state primitively, this is a record for the Defense Forces, “said Kirichevsky.

At the same time, he noted that the results of attacks on military targets on Russian territory are difficult to see immediately, but the Russian invaders may reveal details themselves over time.

“In particular, when we hit Engels and Diaghilevo airfields, there was information that a Tu-95 and a Tu-22M3 were damaged. And half a year later, the Russians opened a case about the attacks that this, where they announced eight damaged bombers . Therefore, I think, “We will know more about the attack on the Olenya airfield But the very fact that we have a long-range drone with a range of Tomagawk missile is like a Tomagawk with wings, and the Russians feel it. very bad about it,” concluded the expert.

Let us recall that on the night of July 27 and in the morning of the same day, as a result of the GUR operation, the military airfields in the city of Engels in the Saratov region, the Dyagilevo military airfield in the Ryazan region and the Olenya. airfield in the Murmansk region was attacked. In addition, an oil refinery in Ryazan was hit by a kamikaze drone attack.

One of the previous record-breaking strikes by Ukrainian drones was on a bomb collection plant in Russian Tatarstan, located 1,200 km from the Ukrainian border. And the maximum depth so far was a strike on an over-the-horizon radar of the Voronezh-DM type near the Russian Orenburg, where the range is about 1,500 km from the state border line.
