Ukraine Hits Olenya Air Base Near Finland with Drones (1,800KM Away) Tu-22M Reported Hit!
Video Summary
Ukraine has reportedly conducted a successful operation that resulted in the destruction of a Russian Air Force base near Finland. The Oenoc base, located 1,800 km from the Ukrainian border, is home to 222 long-range supersonic bombers, including the Tu-22M3 “Blackjacks” and Tu-95 “Beagles”. According to reports, a Ukrainian drone strike targeted the base and hit a single Tu-22M3 aircraft, causing significant damage. This marks the first time the base has been hit and is a significant blow to Russia’s air power. The location of the base, far from the Ukrainian border, highlights Russia’s failure to defend its air defenses, leaving its bombers vulnerable to attack. With only 58 aircraft still in service, this loss is considered significant, as the Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 are no longer being produced. Further information is yet to be confirmed, but this development is expected to have major implications for Russia’s military capabilities.
