The Ukrainian Armed Forces are now capable of striking any part of Russia.
Ukraine has launched a series of strikes against military and industrial targets deep inside Russian territory, demonstrating that long-range attacks are becoming a serious problem for Moscow, according to National Security Journal (translation by Charter97.org).
Ukrainian forces attacked the port of Ust-Luga in the Leningrad Oblast. As a result, two processing plants were damaged, and a major fire broke out at an oil facility. Ust-Luga is one of Russia’s largest ports on the Baltic Sea and an important hub for the export of oil and petroleum products.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a strike on the Savasleika airfield in the Nizhny Novgorod region. Russian MiG-31Ks, capable of Russian MiG-31Ks capable of launching “Kinzhal” ballistic missiles were based there. According to the Ukrainian president, the facility is located approximately 700 kilometers from Ukraine.
“The Savasleika airfield, where the carriers of Russian missiles that strike our cities and villages are based, has also been targeted by our long-term sanctions,” — Zelenskyy stated.
Another target was the “Progress” Rocket and Space Center in Samara, which is part of Roscosmos. The Ukrainian side claims that the facility produces components for Russian missile systems. It is located approximately 900 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
The possible destruction of the MiG-31K is of particular significance. Russia does not produce new aircraft of this type, so every loss of such a platform has the potential to weaken the capabilities of Russian forces.
“Russia is unable to produce new MiG-31K aircraft, so any loss in this category is particularly painful,” the authors write.
Ukraine also reported a strike on the “Neftekhim Salavat” petrochemical complex in Bashkortostan.
This series of attacks demonstrates the increasing range of Ukrainian strike capabilities and places additional pressure on Russian military logistics, the defense industry, and the energy sector. However, the exact extent of the damage to some facilities cannot yet be independently confirmed.
