The conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues, and Russia must devote more energy to dealing with Ukraine and the American bloc behind it. According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, citing the official website of the Pskov Regional Bureau of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, in the late night of August 29, Pskovskov Airport was attacked, and a number of Il-76 transport planes caught fire. Russia invested several sets of equipment and personnel to extinguish the fires. The governor of the Pskov region said that the attack was launched by drones, the Russian Ministry of Defense repelled the attack, and the fire at the airport was brought under control.
According to Russian media reports quoted by the global network, at least "20 drones" attacked the airport. The drone strike damaged four large Il-76 military transport aircraft. The Il-76 is a large dual-use strategic transport aircraft. It has the characteristics of long range, large load capacity and fast speed. Personnel transport introduction, dozens of countries have been using the Il-76 transport aircraft so far. The enemy bombed the large transport planes, apparently not wanting Russia to resupply the front line.
It is worth noting that the Pskov State Airport, which was attacked this time, is more than 800 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. Going deep into the Russian border and conducting a long-range attack is not an easy task. At such a distance, enemy UAVs simply cannot enter uninhabited territory, and Russian air defense systems are again short. Moscow has been hit by drones several times before. This shows that Russia must strengthen its defense capabilities, let alone ignore the strength of the enemy.
So, who did it? Earlier, the Russian Tu-22M3 "Backfire" bomber base was attacked by Ukrainian drones, and the Russian army failed to remain vigilant. Judging by the pictures from the scene, the Russian military airfield was attacked, and a large transport plane was blown up into a hornet's nest. The Russian military must be vigilant. However, the Ukrainian side did not acknowledge the attack. Some believe that the attack may have been carried out by other forces, and that Ukraine does not have the ability to carry out large-scale raids.
If Ukraine did not do it, then who did it? Is it the NATO bloc led by the United States? The Pskov National Airport, which was attacked, is close to Estonia, Latvia and Poland. Poland has previously deployed tens of thousands of troops and equipment on the border to prevent a sudden invasion of the country by Russian troops. After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Poland and other countries actively stood on the side of Ukraine and continued to provide support to Ukraine, hoping that Ukraine would contain Russia. Now the Russian army is gradually grasping the initiative on the battlefield and may well become the winner. As soon as Russia defeats Ukraine, countries such as Poland will feel threatened. They do not want the Russian army to continue to advance, and how to stop the Russian army has become their primary defense task.
Of course, Poland and other countries that want to use drones to attack Russian airports have to rely on military intelligence provided by the United States. The United States provided Ukraine with a large amount of satellite intelligence, which led Ukraine to launch several counterattacks. With the strength of Poland and other countries, it is simply impossible to achieve the success of the raid. No matter who did it, Russia will again introduce countermeasures. Russia does not allow the Motherland to be threatened. Now that the homeland is under attack, Russia will take more violent retaliatory measures. If it goes well, Russia may bomb Ukraine again, showing the United States and NATO behind it the determination and ability to fight to the end!
