Another very nice little fire in mafia land. Well done, Ukraine!
“He also said that firefighters were extinguishing fires caused by the fall of the UAVs.”
So amazing how the debris from these drones falls exactly on their intended target, time after time.
Lol! I was thinking the same thing. It’s always the same thing. All is well, no casualties, situation under control.
Yeah, don’t worry about that huge blaze, it’s only one of our guys lighting his cigarette.
They got some huge cigarettes.
More on the overnight strikes.
Ukrainian suicide drones reportedly targeted Russian storage facilities containing deadly glide bombs during overnight strikes on April 27 in the Slavyansk, Severny, and Kushchevsky districts of the Krasnodar Krai region, Russia.
Russian media subsequently published footage allegedly showing the aftermath of an attack on a military airfield in Kushchevskaya, Krasnodar Krai, revealing the destruction of a storage facility where Russia’s wing kits for ‘dumb’ bombs were reportedly housed.
Thanks for sharing again, Mr. Slimpan.
