The United Kingdom’s intelligence services have stated on Tuesday that the “successful” drone attack executed on June 27 by Ukraine against a Russian air base in Volgograd would have resulted in the destruction of at least two hunting, in the middle of the war unleashed in February 2022 by the invasion order signed by the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
“On June 27, 2025, Ukraine successfully launched an attack with drones against the Marinovka airfield,” they said, before highlighting that two other SU-34 hunting would have suffered damage to the attack against the place, located more than 270 kilometers from the border and 440 kilometers of “the current front line.”
Thus, they have stressed that “Marinovka is one of the many Russian airfields that are used daily for combat operations” and added that the facilities “are also used as a reserve place for the dispersion of Russian airplanes when other airfields are threatened.”
In this sense, they have explained that the devices achieved had been transferred to this base from Morozovsk’s based on a drone attack in August 2024. “Despite these dispersion efforts to protect their airplanes, Russian aviation remains vulnerable to Ukrainian drones attacks,” they explained.
“During the weekend, Ukraine has also carried out successful attacks with drones against helicopter operations at the Kirovskoye Air Base, in (the Crimean Peninsula, and against an artillery ammunition warehouse in Briansk, Russia,” they have highlighted, according to a statement published by the British Ministry of Defense through its account in the social network in the social network.
On the other hand, they have stressed that Russia would have lost 30 SU-34 in the framework of the war and have argued that these devices “are used to carry out a huge amount of daily flights for the launch of planning pumps on the front line.” “In total, Russia has lost more than 135 devices in operations in Ukraine,” they have settled.
