Reports that Ukraine struck Russian airbases have significantly undermined Russia's ability to launch missile strikes. According to Ivan Kyrychevskyi, this strike has cut a portion of the country's military potential by 20-30%. The expert also emphasized that the operation of Ukrainian drones caused severe damage to Russian strategic aviation, particularly to the Tu-95MS, Tu-160, and Tu-22M3 bombers, which were used for attacks on Ukraine. Russia's repair capabilities are limited, making the restoration of aviation an extremely challenging task.The event that occurred indicates that Ukraine is actively taking measures to defend its territorial integrity and limit the military capabilities of the Russian army. The strikes inflicted can significantly reduce Russia's ability to carry out attacks and help maintain the aggressive actions of the adversary.
