DECRESSION DIFFERENCE: How the Russian Federation can protect its aviation after UAV attacks on air base - Intelligence
And if earlier the military command in such situations solved the problem by dispersing aircraft by the territory of the Russian Federation, now it will be problematic because of the great UAV radius. This was announced on August 31 by the UK Ministry of Defense Ministry. British intelligence notes that the explosions were recorded in Moscow, Bryansk, Ryazan, as well as at the Pskov Air Base near the border with Estonia.
As a result of the attack on the airfield near Pskov, several Russian military transport aircraft were likely to be damaged. "During August 2023, Russia experienced 25 separate attacks that were almost certainly made by Dronami-Kamikadze," the message reads. The Defense Ministry suggested that many drones have achieved their goals - this means that Russian air defense faces difficulty in identifying and destroying them.
Because of this, the Russian military is likely to look at their air defense system in the area between Ukraine and Moscow to better counteract these attacks. "It is likely that Russia will have to consider the additional equipment of airfield airport systems, which, in her opinion, are at risk of UAV attacks," the British summed up.
