A “clap” occurred on the Russian airfield in Engels on December 26. Explosions at the airbase where Russia keeps strategic aircraft influenced the plans of the occupiers regarding shelling.
Yury Ignat, speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, spoke about the threat of shelling on the air of the telethon. According to him, Russia continues to keep a certain number of ships in the Black Sea, among which there are Caliber carriers. OK “South” was informed about a volley of 16 “Caliber”.
Russia dispersed the aircraft after the “pop” in Engels
At the same time time after the “pop” in Engels, as Ignat reported, strategic aircraft in Russia were dispersed. He noted that a few aircraft still remain in Engels, but some of them have been relocated to other airfields.
The speaker also stated that after the “clap” in Engels, the activity of enemy aircraft was reduced by the evening. “Even tactical aviation was not visible,” Ignat said.
He 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.
Ignat stressed that the threat of shelling had not gone anywhere. “The occupiers have not abandoned their insidious intentions. Perhaps somewhere around the New Year holidays, perhaps on some other dates … to hit our infrastructure in order to break the Ukrainian people,” said the representative of the Air Force.
He emphasized that 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.
