Title: Ukrainian President Announces Successful Long-Range Weapon Use in Latest Operation
In a recent meeting with members of the Ukrainian government, President Volodymyr Zelensky proudly announced the successful use of long-range weapons. While he did not specify the target, the president mentioned that it was hit a staggering 700 kilometers away.
Curiously, this distance corresponds to the span from the Ukrainian border to the Russian Pskov airport. This airport was previously attacked by drones on August 30, raising speculation that the recent long-range strike might be linked to the previous incident.
According to Ukrainian defense intelligence reports, the overnight attack resulted in the destruction of four Il-76 air-lifters and damage to two other aircraft. Satellite images of the area corroborate these findings, clearly showing the presence of two damaged planes.
Building on this evidence, the Ukrainian investigative project Skhemy has published satellite images suggesting that the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used in the strike may have been targeting the fuel tanks of the aircraft. This revelation sheds light on the sophistication and precision of the attack.
Pskov airport plays a crucial role as the home base for Russia’s 334th Military Transport Regiment, which is part of the notorious 76th Airborne Assault Division implicated in the invasion of Ukraine. The drone strike, occurring over 400 miles away from the Ukrainian border, caused significant fires and inflicted damage upon multiple warplanes stationed at the Pskov airfield.
President Zelensky’s announcement confirms Ukraine’s commitment to defending its sovereignty and deterring further aggression. The successful utilization of long-range weapons demonstrates the country’s growing capabilities in the face of external threats.
As tensions in the region continue to simmer, this latest development reiterates the need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The international community must remain vigilant and call for a cessation of hostilities, ensuring the safety and security of all parties involved.
