American experts drew attention to the attack on the military airfield in Dzhankoy, where the air defense army of the Southern Military District of the Russian Federation and the 39th separate helicopter regiment of the terrorist state are based.
Analysts said that the invaders transferred Ka-52, Mi-8, Mi-25M and Mi-28 helicopters to this air base, which provided the “second army of the world” with offensive and defensive advantages. However, ISW did not find any visual evidence of damage to this equipment as a result of the “bavovna.”
In parallel, on the same day, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense attacked an aircraft factory in Kazan, the Container radar in Mordovia and destroyed a Mi-8 helicopter at the airfield “Ridge” in Samara.
