Ukraine's Navy struck the Russian military airfield "Borysoglebsk" in Voronezh Oblast with Neptune missiles on the night of October 15, destroying six Su-34M fighter-bombers. The strike also destroyed technical equipment for flight support, with secondary detonations and a fire reported at the airfield. The Navy stated the Su-34M is a key Russian asset for guided bomb attacks on Ukrainian positions.
