Ukraine's Navy destroys six Su-34M bombers at Ryazan and Borisoglebsk airfields
Ukraine's Navy announced the destruction of six Su-34M fighter-bombers, key carriers of glide bombs, at airfields near Ryazan and Borisoglebsk. The strike reportedly used Ukrainian-made Neptune missiles. The Su-34M can carry up to eight tons of glide bombs per mission. The loss of six aircraft is described as a significant reduction in Russia's strike capability, with the last known delivery batch of these jets being only three units. The operation is part of a broader Ukrainian campaign targeting Russian military infrastructure, including data centers, oil refineries, and energy facilities. Ukrainian forces have also claimed success in degrading Russia's Black Sea Fleet, forcing missile launches from the Caspian Sea.
