According to the general, the target of the shelling, which Moscow called perhaps the largest during the entire full-scale war, was a radio-technical reconnaissance center near the Russian capital.
GUR drones also targeted the Millerovo airbase in the Rostov region and the Ostafyevo airfield in Moscow. The latter target was a mistake: it was meant to distract the enemy.
In total, according to Budanov, about fifty UAVs were used. The GUR is assessing the consequences of the shelling.
- Thanks to the work of the GUR at the Savasleyka airfield in Russia, three Russian aircraft were destroyed and five more damaged.
