Air bomb depot destroyed at Kushchevskaya airfield in Kuban – British intelligence

A warehouse of planning-controlled aerial bombs was destroyed by Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles at Kushchevskaya airfield in Krasnodar Territory of the Russian Federation on April 27, British intelligence reported on Tuesday.

“Kushchevskaya airfield hosts a number of Russian fighter jets, including SU-34 FULLBACK and SU-35S FLANKER M. These are used daily in strike missions against Ukrainian frontline positions, including the heavy use of glide bombs. Open source videos show several glide bomb kits destroyed in a storage location at the airfield,” according to a review posted on the social network X of the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

According to intelligence data, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported 66 downed UAVs, which indicates the scale of the attack, which not only the Kushchevskaya military airfield was subjected to, but also two oil refineries in Krasnodar Territory.

“Russian fighters, from Kushchevskaya and a number of other airbases, typically conduct 100 to 150 sorties per day, a significant percentage of those launching munitions all along the frontlines as Russia attempts to force breakthroughs through sheer firepower,” a message reads.
