Russia has used its Su-34 fighter-bomber aircraft to drop highly destructive glide bombs targeting Ukrainian civilians and troop positions.
Ukrainian forces used long-range drones overnight to strike a Russian base where fighter-bomber aircraft and their highly destructive glide bombs are stored.
A source in the Security Service of Ukraine told Business Insider on Thursday that the attack targeted the Borisoglebsk military airfield in Russia’s Voronezh region. The source spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive operations.
The SBU source said the drones struck several sites at the airfield, including warehouses where glide bombs were kept, aviation fuel storage facilities, and Su-35 and Su-34 parking areas. They said Russia actively uses the base to carry out bombing missions on Ukrainian territory.
The Su-34s specifically have been a problem for Ukraine.
