"Not many flying": Budanov told how many TU-22m3 aircraft have (video)
According to the head of GUR, 436 Russian aircraft are involved in military air operations against Ukraine. "It is a lot. But if you ask how many among them TU-22, then they will be. Tu-22 they have about 31, now 29-and minus two other those who will be repaired, ie 27. ie not There are so many who actually fly, ”Kirill Budanov said.
According to him, during operations at the Russian military airfields "Salts" (Nizhny Novgorod region) and "Schikkovka" (Kaluga region) two planes were completely destroyed, two more affected. "Those two that are affected will be repaired over time, it must also be understood," the GUR head emphasized. When asked by a journalist, whether our intelligence is known, who accomplished the task of destroying Russian aircraft Budanov replied: "We are well known people who have done it . . .
These are people who have completed certain tasks from the territory of the Russian Federation. " The Salti military airfield in the Novgorod region was attacked on August 19 by drones. As a result of the attack, one aircraft was damaged. In a blow to the military object, the Russian side traditionally accuses Ukraine.
British intelligence in the next summary of August 22 suggested that UAV attacks on military airfields in Russia could be made from its territory, because unmanned devices could hardly reach an object 650 km from the nearest border with Ukraine. We will remind, on August 23 the special unit of GUR showed hunting on the plane of the Russian Federation near the island of Snake.
