Russian Strikes on Ukrainian Airfields
Recent missile attacks by Russian forces targeted mock-ups of warplanes and air defense launchers, claiming the destruction of a Mig-29 aircraft and two Patriot batteries. Ukraine’s Air Force Commander confirmed the attacks on Dovhyntseve airfield and a Patriot air defense base in Odesa Oblast.
While the Russian Defense Ministry claimed the destruction of a Ukrainian Mig-29, Ukraine’s Air Force conducted passive defense measures to mitigate the damage. The Kyiv Independent cannot verify these claims immediately.
As Ukraine prepares to receive Western F-16 fighter jets, its airfields face increased Russian aggression, leading to the destruction of Soviet-made jets and helicopters. The lack of protection for these airfields has received criticism on social media.
