"Ukrainian Drones Strike Russian Airfields, Damaging Bombers and Disrupting Power Grid"

Ukrainian air defenses have targeted Russian warplanes in eastern Ukraine, including Sukhoi Su-34 fighter-bombers and Su-35 fighters, and have now launched explosive drone attacks on a Russian air base in Morozovsk, western Russia. The campaign is part of a wider effort to counter Russia's use of Sukhoi fighter-bombers, particularly in their glide-bombing campaign, which has been devastating for Ukraine. The Ukrainian air force has taken risks to deploy its best air defenses, including Patriot systems, but suffered losses, prompting a shift in tactics to target the bombers on the ground. Russia's air defenses are spread thin, leaving vulnerabilities for Ukrainian drone raids.
