The drones struck a long-range missile carrier at the Olenya base, Ukrainian Pravda reported.
Ukrainian drones struck Russia’s Olenya airfield in the far north of the country on Saturday, hitting a strategic bomber, according to Ukrainian and other media reports.
The drones targeted a Tupolev Tu-22M3 supersonic long-range missile carrier at the “strategic aviation” base, Ukrainian Pravda reported, citing Ukraine’s intelligence unit.
Russia has not commented on the attack and Ukrainian military offered no further details.
Located in the Arctic on the Kola Peninsula, the Olenya air base is more than 1,900 kilometers north of Ukraine, but a mere 200 kilometers from the Finnish border.
Maybe a combo glider/Cessna? Whatever they used, it’s amazing news. Now hit the rail lines in the Far East, bringing stuff in and out of China and NK.
That would be a bold stroke. I’m not sure how they’d cope with that
They used a two-seater prop plane turned into a drone before, so it wouldn’t exactly shock me if they did something similar again.
