Ukraine reported destroying a Tu-22M3 supersonic bomber at Olenya airfield in Murmansk, Russia, the deepest attack on Russian territory since the war began.
Satellite imagery shows a large number of Russian bombers at the Olenya airfield, including Tu-22M3s, Tu-95s, and Tu-160s, making it a key strategic base.
The attack raises questions about Russia's air defenses and the vulnerability of Russian aircraft even deep inside their own territory, potentially impacting their defense strategy.
Retired Gen. Mick Ryan noted that such attacks by Ukraine could prompt Russia to reassess their air defense resources and redeploy assets, affecting their defense capabilities.
