Rus MOD:
⚡️❗️ Air defense systems shot down a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle at low altitude while approaching the military airfield “Engels” in the Saratov region, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.
Three Russian soldiers were fatally injured due to falling debris.
Aviation equipment at the airfield was not damaged.
Thanks, but Russia needs to intercept a bit further out.
Thats over 500km from likely Ukrainian firing positions.
It shows the increase in Ukrainian capability to interdict RuAF operations. The Russians will have to operate even their tactical aircraft from further back.
"Three Russian soldiers were fatally injured due to falling debris.They stopped the drone with their bare chests!
