Drone Strikes Reveal Extensive Damage at Russian Air Bases

Drone Strikes Target Russian Air Bases: Video Shows Extensive Damage June 4, 2025, saw a series of alleged Ukrainian FPV drone attacks on Russian air bases. The attacks targeted strategic bombers and transport aircraft at various locations. A recently released video appears to show the strikes in detail. The video shows impacts on multiple aircraft, including Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 bombers, and an An-12 transport plane at the Olenya airbase. Strikes on two A-50 AWACS aircraft at the Ivanovo air base are also shown, as well as several Tu-22M3 bombers at Dyagilevo and Belaya air bases. "The video clearly shows the extent of the damage," says a military analyst who reviewed the footage. "The number of damaged planes is far greater than what satellite images reveal." The video also highlights the use of makeshift defenses, such as tires and barriers, which proved ineffective against the drone strikes. The footage raises questions about the effectiveness of Russian airbase security measures. While the video's authenticity remains unverified, its content, if confirmed, adds another dimension to the ongoing conflict.
