Kyiv • UNN
A representative of the GUR confirmed the downing of a Russian TU-22M3 bomber at the Olenya airfield. This is an important target, as Russia cannot produce new similar equipment due to the degradation of the military-industrial complex.
The representative of the Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate, Andriy Yusov, confirmed the defeat of the Russian supersonic bomber TU-22M3, noting that this is a very important target, as the degraded Russian military-industrial complex does not have the capabilities to produce such equipment. Yusov said this during a telethon, UNN reports.
Details
The Olympics are currently underway and the whole world is watching the sporting achievements, but we are in a great war and we have our own achievements. These are truly Olympic achievements of the Ukrainian Security and Defense Forces, Special Forces, and the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine. We do not comment on what and where, but the Supreme Commander-in-Chief noted the long-range capability, and it is clear that the direction is not difficult to guess. As for the hit, yes, we confirm the fact of the hit. Something hit something. And yes, we can confirm the fact that the strategic bomber was hit and damaged. This is very important, because the degraded Russian military-industrial complex does not currently have the capability to produce new equipment of this kind
He noted that the Russians are trying to "hide such equipment away.
"It's a natural result. In general, this weekend was very fruitful. Massive cyberattacks continue in Russia on the financial structure and digital infrastructure involved in the war against Ukraine and financing the murder of Ukrainians. Incidents continue at Russian refineries and other facilities involved in the war against Ukrainians. And of course, Olenya is such special news and to some extent a "dessert" for Ukrainians this weekend. And it will definitely continue," Yusov noted.
Recall
On the night and morning of July 27 , GUR drones attacked three Russian military airfields - Engels in Saratov region, Diagilevo in Ryazan region, and Olenya in Murmansk region. The attacks damaged a Russian supersonic bomber. An oil refinery in Ryazan was also damaged.
