Ukraine Takes Out Six Russian Fighter Jets In One Strike

Ukraine says a single Neptune missile strike overnight destroyed six Russian Su-34M fighter jets at the Borisoglebsk military airfield in Russia’s Voronezh region, according to the Ukrainian navy. The statement claims the six-aircraft fleet is part of Russia’s broader reliance on tactical aviation and guided bomb attacks against Ukrainian troop positions and frontline cities. Ukraine’s navy said it used the Neptune coastal missile system to target the facility, and that ground equipment supporting flight operations was also hit. The navy reported secondary explosions and a fire across the base and said “information is being clarified,” while emphasizing the strike reduced Russia’s ability to conduct tactical missions.
