In Crimea at the Hvardiyske airfield, the Russian Federation is expanding infrastructure for storing and launching strike drones. Satellite reconnaissance recorded the construction of more than 20 shelters protected by earthen berms, as well as about 40 smaller structures.
Expert Anton Zemlyanyy told Suspilne Krym that Russia is doing this to stockpile more unmanned aerial vehicles for mass attacks and to make them harder to destroy. He sees the main threat to the Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions, while the drones’ range also allows attacks on more distant regions.
Over the past two months, Ukraine’s Defense Forces have attacked the Hvardiyske airfield at least 6 times, but the strikes did not lead to a prolonged cessation of operations. At the same time, they may have destroyed stockpiles, damaged facilities, and disrupted the preparation of Russian attacks.
