At the same time, the Security Service of Ukraine reported that the SSU and the Armed Forces of Ukraine conducted a special operation on the night of December 17, as a result equipment was damaged at a russian airbesde in the Rostov region.
" Although the russian federation has already traditionally managed to declare that all UAVs were shot down, in reality the SSU and the Armed Forces of Ukraine inflicted significant damage on the enemy's equipment," said the Ukrainian Pravda source in the SSU .
He emphasized that the airfield was an important target, because the 559th bomber aviation regiment of the russian Aerospace Forces is located there.
It is known that there were up to 20 SU-34 aircraft, three radar stations and other equipment were at the airfield at the time of attack.
It should be noted, that Ukraine is entitled to target enemy territory by exercising the right to self-defence. Ukraine strictly adheres to the laws and customs of war, attacking exclusively enemy military targets. In the case, eapons received from international partners are not used to strike the territory of russia.
At the same time, moscow's missile terror against Ukrainians will not go unanswered. Ukraine is capable of delivering powerful strikes deep into the territory of the aggressor using its own weaponry. The priority target of Ukraine's attacks is air bases, which russia uses to carry out air strikes on the territory of Ukraine.
