Aftermath of Drone Strike on Lipetsk Airbase — Over 700 Glide Bombs Destroyed in Ammo Dump
Video Summary
The recent drone strike on Leet Air Base in Ukraine has caused significant damage, with reports of at least 700 glide bombs and ammunition destroyed. The strike occurred at a training base that Russia had been using to launch operations against Ukraine. The facility’s storage area is now completely destroyed, with only one section remaining standing. Similar to the damage caused at Moros, it is unclear whether additional drone impacts or ammunition cooking off was responsible for the destruction.
Russia’s stockpiles of glide bombs, used to target Ukrainian front-line positions and troop positions, have been severely impacted. The training base was located at a distance from the flight lines, which caused minimal damage to aircraft. The strike has raised concerns about Russia’s air defense capabilities, especially given that similar attacks have not led to significant improvements in security measures. Further analysis of satellite imagery is needed to confirm the extent of the damage.
