As a result of the attack on the Olenya military airfield in Russia's Murmansk region, two Tu-22M3 strategic bombers were damaged.
This was reported by the representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Andriy Yusov.
"We can confirm the impact on two Tu-22M3 aircraft. We are talking about aircraft No. 33 and No. 31," Yusov said.
According to him, it will take more time to accurately assess the extent of the damage.
"But preliminarily, we can say that aircraft No. 33 has holes in the upper part of the fuselage, and aircraft No. 31 also has certain damages to the fuselage," the representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence said.
As Yusov noted, according to a preliminary assessment, it may take the Russians at least several months to repair these aircraft.
When asked how exactly this operation was carried out and with what weapons, the representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence replied:
"Some good people used some good drones."
He also clarified that the attack took place on July 25 at 3:47 PM according to so-called "Moscow time."
