Defence Express military expert Ivan Kyrychevskyi noted that russians are already having to hide their planes

He said this on the Espresso TV channel.

"As for today's attack on Kyiv, there is a point that needs to be paid attention to. Most of the russian bombers took off from the Olenya airfield located in the Murmansk region. That is, the russians had to hide their planes. As for the Engels airfield, there were reports that the russians were taking off 1 or 2 bombers from there, despite the fact that there were 10 aircraft there," Kirichevsky explained.

According to the military expert, if we do not wait for satellite images of the Engels airfield for March 20, 2024, it will show that our kamikaze drone "Lyutyi", as officially recognized, did a good job there.

"And then, a few months later, the russian Investigative Committee will complain that they damaged several bombers before the Kyiv attack. Let me remind you that in December 2023, there were good strikes on the russian airfields Engels and Shaykovka. According to our official data, 2 russian bombers were damaged, and the russians recorded 8 destroyed bombers and several cruise missiles," Kirichevsky added.

• On March 17, the russian Defense Ministry reported drone attacks on the Belgorod and Bryansk regions.
• On the same day, the Russians accused Ukraine of attacking 8 regions of the Russian Federation with drones. In particular, Ukrainian drones attacked an oil refinery in Slavyansk-on-Kuban. Explosions were heard near the Domodedovo airport in the moscow region.
• On the night of March 20, drones attacked the russian city of Engels, where a military airfield is located. Ukrainian intelligence was involved in this special operation.
