RUSSIAN AIR BASES HAMMERED BY DRONES

Savaslieka air base was pretty much destroyed by a drone attack. These slow moving and quite large drones manage to fly huge distances and clearly have some kind of terminal image recognition system to hit their specified targets so accurately. They are often a seen manoeuvring into position. Mig-31’s are believed to have been destroyed and several damaged. One airfield is believed to have housed Mig-31K variants that carry Kinzhals to altitude. The destruction can be seen in this pre-post video.
The Russians claim they shoot down almost everything but they clearly don’t come close to doing so. The’ve even admitted the Pantsir systems are inadequate and have developed a smaller faster missile to attack drones. However it’s still limited by the system itself which can only sweep upwards 90 degrees and around 45 degrees of centre, let alone its reload time.
They have nothing like the Gepard which has proven to have a new lease of life in the anti drone role, and they certainly have nothing like the awesome Skynex system with its time detonator shells designed to fell multiple incoming.
The airfield destruction is particularly impressive and useful. The Russians are really feeling the consequences of the war in this aspect. Aviation is being steadily pushed back. Even more so as it was confirmed yesterday another Su-34 was downed by anti-air missiles. The Russians must be getting desperate as they used it in a close support role - something they rarely do these days.
