The airfield has already been targeted by Ukrainian attacks.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces' Naval Forces reported that six enemy Su-34M aircraft had been shot down. According to their report, the strike on the Borisoglebsk military airfield in the Voronezh region of the Russian Federation was carried out using the “Neptune” coastal missile system.
As reported by “Important News”, the Russian pro-military channel “Military Informant” suggests that up to four Su-34s may have been destroyed as a result of the strike, with two more damaged. “Romanov Light” offers a similar assessment. The authors of both channels are outraged that the aircraft are parked in open parking areas without protective hangars.
Ilya Tumanov , a pro-military blogger close to the Aerospace Forces (Fighterbomber) criticized the way the aftermath of the strikes was covered up. In his opinion, the military should clear away debris and conceal damage until satellites pass overhead so that the enemy cannot assess the results of the attack.
The governor of the Voronezh Region, Alexander Gusev, stated that on the evening of October 14 and during the night of October 15, 33 drones and several “jet-powered aerial targets” were shot down over the region. According to him, there were no casualties, but in Voronezh, the debris damaged outbuildings of private homes and a car. He did not report any strikes on the airfield or damage to aircraft.
The Borisoglebsk airfield is home to the 160th Training Aviation Regiment, where Russian military pilots are trained. In addition to the Yak-130 combat-training aircraft, combat aircraft—including the Su-34, Su-35S, and Su-30SM—had previously been spotted there.
The airfield had already been targeted by Ukrainian attacks in August and October 2024. After the August strike, satellite images showed that several hangars had been destroyed, and in October, Ukrainian sources reported an attack on aircraft parking areas and bomb storage facilities.
