Ukraine drones reportedly hit Russian airfield in Arctic

The drones struck a long-range missile carrier at the Olenya base, Ukrainian Pravda reported.

Ukrainian drones struck Russia’s Olenya airfield in the far north of the country on Saturday, hitting a strategic bomber, according to Ukrainian and other media reports.

The drones targeted a Tupolev Tu-22M3 supersonic long-range missile carrier at the “strategic aviation” base, Ukrainian Pravda reported, citing Ukraine’s intelligence unit.

Russia has not commented on the attack and Ukrainian military offered no further details.

Located in the Arctic on the Kola Peninsula, the Olenya air base is more than 1,900 kilometers north of Ukraine, but a mere 200 kilometers from the Finnish border.

My bet is they’ve got a quasi-Q-ship. Or a team that uses normal ships as such.

Fuck russia.

How did they pull that off? Article says the location is 1,900 miles north of Ukraine. I imagine the longest range drones Ukraine has are those aircraft that look like converted Cessnas and I don’t think a Cessna is making it that far. Maybe launched by a recon group working inside Russia? No matter how they did it, amazing outcome and I really hope to hear about more strikes like this.

Maybe a combo glider/Cessna? Whatever they used, it’s amazing news. Now hit the rail lines in the Far East, bringing stuff in and out of China and NK.

Yeah I feel like considering Ukraine is basically running a guerrilla operation, they could have just grabbed a few folks and said “alright this is going to sound ridiculous but we need you to travel really fucking far to hit one target because it’ll freak them out.” This is 100% speculative.

That seems like a big deal.
