The Kyiv Independent ^ | July 5, 2025 | by Olena Goncharova, Tim Zadorozhnyy

Ukraine targeted the Borisoglebsk airfield in Russia's Voronezh Oblast overnight on July 5, damaging a warehouse with guided bombs, aircraft, and other military assets, Ukraine's General Staff reported.

The airfield hosts Su-34, Su-35S, and Su-30SM jets thatRussia regularly uses in air strikes against Ukraine, according to the military. The strike may have destroyed a training and combat aircraft, with further assessments underway.

The NASA Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) detected a fire near the Borisoglebsk military airfield shortly after the strike. Residents in the area reported 8–10 powerful explosions around 2 a.m. local time, according to Russian independent outlet Astra.

The strike was part of a broader overnight drone campaign across Russia, with explosions and fires reported in at least six regions.

Meh. The Russians are hitting secondary military targets of dubious value like recruiting centers or civilian infrastructure or civilian buildings which simply pisses Ukrainians off even more.

Some comparisons: one B17 carried about 5,000 lbs of bombs. One Iskander probably as the equivalent of 1,500 lbs. One Shahed about 440 lbs.

A 100 plane B17 raid would have been around 500,000 lbs. So over 1,000 Shaheds and 330 Iskanders.

Of course they are more powerful in the sense of being guided, but the Ukrainians are not stupid enough to cluster vital defense infrastructure in one place to be struck.

And the most important supply depots for Ukraine are unreachable in Poland.

More and more slowly, especially when, like Toretsk, Russia expends thousands of men to take an objective only to have Ukraine take half of it back.

Good to see someone closely following the ground war. Once a westerner can get over the western “way of warfare”, they will realize attrition has always been Ivan’s way….Vlad will continue taking territory, no matter the cost….as we are witnessing.

Stated simply, the West has no stomach for a war of attrition….the Slavs do and always have.

Luckily for Putin, Zelenski doesn’t have any cards to play.

Ukraine hits military targets; Russia responds with civilian targets.

It has been collapsing for 3 1/2 years. The slowest collapse ever.

If you faced NATO forces in Ukraine, almost all the attrition would be on the Russian side: your AD would be taken out first, then your C3 and logistics via an air campaign, leaving your forces to be defeated in detail if they didn't withdraw.

Neither you nor the Ukrainians have the capacity to conduct maneuver warfare on an operational scale.

Yes, exactly why the war is progressing the way it is. The Ukies ( Slavs) are putting up an extraordinary fight, but so too are the Russians ( Slavs).

I trained Ivan’s for three years, the West has no idea or conception of this war, they judge it by their own standards, and mostly incapable of understanding the Russian ( Slavs) way….which is why they will lose a war of attrition.

I will add the West kept saying and waiting for Vlads revenge for the Ukie strike on Russia’s strategic nuke bombers….and waited and waited…they play war different….incomprehensible to the West……here we are much later witnessing Kiev and western Ukraine getting absolutely monkey hammered, this recent Ukie hammering is how they respond to that event.

Vlad could have leveled Kiev any time he wanted, but hasn’t until now…just one “ revenge” response, expect more, each one tightening the screws. Western minds have no understanding.
