More than 70 UAVs were used to attack Russian airbase Morozovsk yesterday: Budanov reveals details of successful operation

The Ukrainian military used at least 70 Dragon and Splash drones during an attack on the Russian military airfield Morozovsk in the Rostov region of Russia on June 14. Their main target was a hangar for Su-34 Fullback fighter-bombers.

This was stated by Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, in an interview with The Warzone. He assured that Ukrainian forces are planning another attack on the airfield to complete the job.

"We are waiting for information on whether any planes were destroyed or damaged," DIU head said.

Satellite images show damage to the roof of the hangar located on the maintenance apron, with 2 Su-34 fighter-bombers visible inside.

In general, according to the newspaper, the airfield in Morozovsk is "the base for dozens of Su-34 fighter-bombers, which are the key weapon in the war," as well as for Su-27 fighters.

Russian sources acknowledged the attack but disagreed on the casualties. Some pro-Kremlin Telegram channels claimed that the planes were not damaged, while others said that 6 pilots were killed and 10 others were wounded. Budanov noted that the assessment of the damage is ongoing.

This was the second large-scale attack by Ukrainian drones on Morozovsk in two months. The previous one took place on April 5.

To recap, the attack on the Morozovsk airfield took place on the night of June 14. The Russians complained that "something was flying and buzzing" towards the city and that it was not being shot down. Governor Vasily Golubev said that electricity was cut off in the Morozovsk district, with several settlements having a blackout. According to his preliminary information, there were no casualties.
