Blow to the Russian Air Force: Six Bombers Destroyed by a Single Ukrainian Missile

Ukraine's military announced a strike on the Russian air force base in Borisoglebsk, destroying six Su-34M fighter-bombers using a Neptune missile. The attack was carried out by the Ukrainian Navy. Meanwhile, a severe diplomatic crisis is reported between Kyiv and Washington, following American restrictions on intelligence sharing and Starlink network speed.

Ukraine's military announced a significant strike on the Russian air force base in the city of Borisoglebsk, Voronezh Oblast, where six advanced Su-34M fighter-bombers were destroyed. The attack was carried out on the night of October 15 using the Ukrainian-developed Neptune coastal missile system by the Ukrainian Navy. According to the report, technical equipment supporting aviation operations was also damaged, and secondary explosions and a fire were documented on site. The damage to the aircraft has not been independently verified. Concurrently, a severe diplomatic crisis is reported between Kyiv and Washington, against the backdrop of new American restrictions: limiting the speed of the Starlink network and its military version, Starshield, and a complete halt to real-time tactical intelligence sharing. The restrictions, which occurred simultaneously with a massive Russian attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, are perceived in Kyiv as a deliberate abandonment. Official sources attribute the American pressure to political disagreements, including Ukraine's refusal to cease attacks on oil refineries in Russia.
