Today, I would like to bring your attention to a single strike from Ukraine, where intelligence photos were shared. These satellite photos tell the story and explain why Ukraine is hitting airfields. They are strategic targets.

So here is one of the three photos with the attached post. Realize all this is happening with drones. In many ways, the job once done by strategic aviation is happening with unarmed one-way aircraft:

British intelligence showed the consequences of the SBU and SSO strike on the Marinovka airfield in Russia

▫️The strikes by SBU and Ukrainian Special Operations Forces drones on the Marinovka airbase in Russia’s Volgograd region, which took place on August 22 this year, resulted in large-scale destruction of key infrastructure and equipment.

▫️According to the British Ministry of Defence, the attack destroyed four aircraft shelters and damaged three more. A radar station, auxiliary buildings and open storage areas were destroyed.

▫️The British published several photos showing the affected airfield, comparing the view of the airbase on August 19 and August 24.

▫️ Recall that the SBU noted that Russian troops actively use the Marinovka military airfield for bombing the front line in Ukraine and store KABs there.
