Ukraine destroys two Su-34s and hits Iskander launcher in Volgograd strikes

vnexpress.net (Vietnamese) —

Ukraine announced it destroyed two Su-34 fighter-bombers and struck an Iskander missile launcher in separate attacks on October 29, 2026. The Ukrainian Navy said Neptune missiles targeted Marinovka airbase in Russia's Volgograd region, destroying two Su-34s. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the strikes but provided no evidence. NASA satellite data showed a fire at the base around 2:30 a.m., and Russia's Defense Ministry has not commented. A Russian fighter pilot's social media account indirectly confirmed the attack, urging leadership to move tactical aviation further back. Ukraine has previously claimed destroying four Su-34Ms in a similar Neptune strike on Borisoglebsk airbase.
