In its daily summary of the war in Ukraine, the British intelligence service revisited on Monday the attack on the Marinovka airbase, located in the Volgograd region. The attack took place on 22 August this year.

The strike proved effective and caused significant damage to the base. As a result, four hangars were destroyed, and another three were damaged. The Russians also lost a radar, a support building, and warehouses.

The attack also destroyed supplies on the base, stored in specially designated areas. However, British intelligence does not provide information on the destruction of Russian aircraft.

Ukrainians attack targets in Russia

Ukraine regularly conducts attacks on Russian airbases and other military targets located in Russia. The purpose of this tactic is to destroy the infrastructure and resources used by Moscow to attack Ukraine’s critical infrastructure.

It was recently revealed that Russia managed to damage or destroy up to 70% of Ukrainian power plants. The planes capable of carrying missiles used to attack targets in Ukraine are launched from airports located in Russia.
