"The windows were killed for 7 km": Defense Express about the effects of the attack at the Engels Airport

To spread: a military expert believes that if the attack occurred around three o'clock in the morning, and the explosion came at dawn, that is, it was a secondary detonation. Engels in Russia was attacked by Ukraine in Russia could explode with ammunition for aviation weapons. This was said in a comment by "Espresso" military expert, editor -in -chief of Defense Express Oleg Katkov. "On the Air Base, Engels really happened, and it was very powerful.

The surrounding buildings, and we were talking about dozens of structures, were damaged. The local authorities reported that it was a massive attack, during which dozens of Ukrainian UAVs were intercepted above the Saratov region," Katkov said. He noted that the opinions of experts about what was affected at the airfield were divided. Some believe that the composition of ammunition was attacked, others-the composition of fuel and lubricants.

Oleg Katkov noted that on a released video, a secondary detonation of shooting ammunition, or something like that, was heard. "When it comes to ammunition explosions to aviation guns used at Tu-95 and Tu-160, it can be argued that it has not exploded with fuel, but a composition with ammunition. Considering that it is about ammunition to TU-95MC and Tu-160 Katkov noted.

The military expert added that the attack, according to social networks, happened about three o'clock in the morning, and the explosion was dawn, that is, it was a secondary detonation. "So, it indicates that the warehouse has exploded with ammunition for aviation weapons. Obviously, we are talking about winged missiles. This indicates that the enemy managed to catch suddenly when he was preparing these missiles for a massive attack," Katkov said.
