A photo has appeared in the public domain, taken at the site of what was previously an aviation ammunition depot at the enemy Morozovsk air base, which was attacked by Ukrainian drones on the night of August 3, 2024.
As we can clearly see, the object essentially ceased to exist and literally exploded into the air. Therefore, it is highly likely that the destruction of at least one Su-34 and the damage to at least two more aircraft of the same type resulted from secondary explosions and the subsequent dispersion of munitions across the airfield.

The destroyed munitions depot at the Morozovsk airfield was essentially a complex of buildings with varying levels of protection before its destruction, as is directly evident from the images provided by the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine.
This, in turn, raises questions about the mysterious equipment used by Ukrainian kamikaze drones to strike this target. It concerns both penetrating the roofs of the munitions storage buildings, which could have varied thicknesses, and simultaneously provoking such a massive detonation of the accumulated munitions.
Recall that we already have a precedent where Ukrainian long-range kamikaze drones can be equipped with unexpected types of munitions, leading to unprecedented results. Specifically, we refer to the case where Ukrainian long-range drones received an ideal warhead with an airburst mechanism, and this became known when the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine added details about the attack on Olenya airbase.
