Ukraine ‘strikes Russian airfields destroying nuke bombers’ in huge drone blitz as footage shows aircraft up in flames

TWO Russian airfields housing Putin’s nuke bombers have reportedly been blitzed in an extraordinary drone strike – wiping out at least 40 aircraft.

A Ukrainian security official informed Reuters about a significant drone attack the SBU carried out on Tu-95 and Tu-22 strategic bombers, which Russia utilizes to launch long-range missiles towards Ukraine.

Though the source did not pinpoint the location of the drone assault, Ukrainian media indicated that the Olenya airbase, housing Russia’s Tu-95 strategic bombers, was the target.

The second base under fire is understood to be the Belaya nuclear airbase in eastern Siberia’s Irkutsk region – some 2,900 miles from Ukraine.

Unconfirmed reports also said that explosions were heard in Severomosk – the home port of Putin’s nuclear submarine base and prized Northern Fleet.

Footage which has not been verified yet showed plumes of black smoke rising over the town located on the Kola Bay near the Barents Sea.

A source told the Kyiv Independent: “Enemy strategic bombers are burning en masse in Russia — this is the result of a special operation by the SBU.

“At this moment, the Security Service of Ukraine is executing an extensive special operation to eliminate enemy bomber aircraft in the rear of the Russian Federation.”

“SBU drones are practicing on aircraft that bomb Ukrainian cities every night.”

They added: “Currently, more than 40 aircraft are known to have been hit, including the A-50, Tu-95 and Tu-22 M3.”

Russia’s governor of the Murmansk region confirmed that the drone strike had taken place.

Unverified footage showed smoked billowing from mad Vlad’s bases as Russian troops and civilians watched on in horror.

Ukraine’s Pravda Gerashchenko Telegram channel said: “A special operation ‘Web’ is being conducted to demilitarise Russia.

“The [SBU] report the destruction of Russian bomber aircraft behind enemy lines.”

They added: “In particular, the destruction of more than 40 aircraft, including A-50, Tu-95 and Tu-22M3.”

Local residents reported hearing explosions as swathes of Ukrainian UAVs struck Putin’s bases.

Both airfields are miles from the bloody frontline, but were still “under drone attack” by Ukrainian forces.

The air assault is believed to have been launched from within Russia – from the backs of trucks driving nearby the bases.

It marks one of the bleakest days of the war for Russian President Vladimir Putin who is continuing to relentlessly blitz Ukraine.

A report said the driver of the truck that released the drones “may not have known” that his vehicle was full of the Ukrainian UAVs.

According to Baza Media, the driver has since been detained.

Local reports said: “A truck stopped at a gas station at the entrance to the city.

“Drones started flying out of the back of the truck and then attacked various objects.”

A similar account of the attack was heard from media in Siberia.

But there have not been any official comments made on the attack yet.
