After the explosions at the Russian Engels airfield over Ukraine, no enemy tactical aviation activity was recorded. This happened for the first time in several months.
This was reported by the monitoring group monitor, engaged in tracking enemy aircraft. Russian strategic aviation was also not active today.
Enemy aviation was not detected
During the day on December 27, observers did not record the activity of Russian aviation over Ukraine, and the occupiers did not take off strategic aviation on their territory either. 23:59: no activity of Russian strategic aviation detected; activity of tactical aviation over the territory of Ukraine was also not observed (for the first time in many months of the war), observers reported.
During the day, the activity of Russian tactical aviation over the territory of Belarus was recorded, because of which an air alert was announced throughout Ukraine.
How the “clap” in Engels affected it
Representative of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuri Ignat said the day before that after the explosions at the Engels airfield on the night of December 26, the Russians dispersed their aircraft at different airfields. A few planes remained on Engels, but most were relocated to other bases.
Ignat suggests that perhaps the invaders could not recover from that “clap”. The Air Force cannot say exactly how the “cotton” affected the occupiers. Ignat noted that, perhaps, the Russians will make some adjustments. At the same time, Ignat stressed that the threat of shelling had not passed. In particular, because aviation is a highly mobile type of troops that does not need much time to refuel, load missiles and take off, and in a few hours be on a combat course and strike.
NSDC Secretary Alexei Danilov said that after the explosions on Engels, the Russians overtook their aircraft to Primorsky Krai. That is, to the Far East.
