Ukrainian forces appear to have stepped up their efforts to weaken Russian air superiority in the war by attacking bases that house supersonic warplanes deep inside Russian territory.
Kyiv said it had carried out a drone strike on the Shaykovka Russian military air facility some 200 kilometers northeast of the Ukrainian border on Monday. Over the weekend, Russia’s defense ministry said another Ukrainian drone hit the Soltsy military airfield in the Novgorod region, also hundreds of kilometers north of Ukraine.

Yusov said that Russia was trying to underplay the incident. “At least one plane is damaged.
