Images from space confirm what was hinted at by videos taken by eyewitnesses during the fire.

The strike by Ukrainian drones on the Engels airfield near Saratov was very effective, according to satellite images from Maxar, analyzed by the Schema project .

Photos from the American aerospace company Maxar from March 21 clearly show damage to the ammunition depots at Engels-2 airfield. In particular, it is noticeable that large craters from explosions remain on the site of some buildings. 

“It was in these warehouses that containers for Kh-101/Kh-555 missiles, which Russia uses to attack Ukraine from Tu-160 and Tu-95 aircraft, were located. It is also likely that a missile pre-flight training center was located there, which was also destroyed,” aviation expert Anatoly Khrapchinsky told Schema.
