⚡️ The Russian Army struck enemy military airfields in the #Khmelnitsky and #Poltava regions. The Su-24s left by the AFU are stored in #Starokonstantinov and #Mirgorod. In addition, enemy depots of ammo, fuel and lubricants could have been hit.
💡 Near #Avdeyevka, Russian UAV operators filmed the destruction of a Leopard from the first shot. The tank from the notorious 47th AFU Brigade was not helped either by the welded grills or the crew hurriedly fleeing from the burning vehicle. The fighters themselves were delighted after successfully hitting the target, especially since it was the first German "cat" for them.
Su-57 received an in-fuselage long-range cruise missile.
“For the Su-57, the latest long-range cruise missile has been developed for intra-fuselage placement. With a smaller size, the missile has a comparable range to those products that are used in long-range aviation on the Tu-95MS and Tu-160 strategic bombers,” an informed source told the media .
He clarified that a significant reduction in the dimensions of the new ammunition was achieved due to the perfectly refined design of the folding wing and internal layout, as well as the use of a new small-sized bypass turbojet engine.
Air-launched long-range cruise missiles include ammunition capable of hitting a target at a distance of 600 kilometers or more. In long-range aviation of the Aerospace Forces, according to open sources, cruise missiles have a range from 1000 to 6500 kilometers.
