In the past few days, saboteurs coordinated by the GUR have neutralized five Russian aircraft, including strategic bombers. This was reported on Monday, August 21, by NV , citing a source in the GUR. So on the morning of August 19, agents collaborating with Ukrainian military intelligence attacked a military airfield in Soltsy, Novgorod Region, Russia with drones. A Tu-22 M3 bomber was destroyed, two more aircraft were damaged. And on the morning of August 21, in the Kaluga region of Russia at the Shaikovka airfield, as a result of an attack by drones controlled by GUR saboteurs, two more Russian bombers were damaged. "These operations with drones are coordinated by the Main Intelligence Directorate and inflicted significant losses on the enemy in military aviation. And most importantly, such aircraft [we are talking about the Tu-22 M3] are no longer produced in the aggressor country," the source at the Main Intelligence Directorate added. It is also noted that it was these bombers that carried out missile strikes on Ukrainian cities. And the day before, the media reported that Ukraine for the first time destroyed a strategic bomber of the Russian Federation during an attack on the Soltsy air base.
