At Least Four Su-34s Destroyed by Missile Strike at Borisoglebsk Air Base

At least four Su-34 aircraft were destroyed as a result of a Neptune missile strike on the Borisoglebsk air base in Russia’s Voronezh region.

This is evidenced by satellite images published by AviVector.

According to the image, the strike hit the aircraft parking area. Six Su-34s had been spotted there the day before.

The Borisoglebsk air base is located approximately 6 km east of the city of the same name in Russia’s Voronezh region.

It serves a training purpose: the 160th Training Aviation Regiment is stationed there, using Su-25 and Yak-130 aircraft to train flight crews.

However, after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the air base began to be used to station combat aircraft as well, including Su-34 frontline bombers and Su-35S, as well as Su-30SM fighters.

As a reminder, on the night of October 15, the Ukrainian Navy launched a strike with Neptune missiles against the Borisoglebsk air base. According to the Navy, the strike also destroyed ground-based equipment used to support aviation operations. Repeated explosions and a fire were spotted on the air base.
