Ukraine’s Big‑bang Drone Hit on Russia’s Engels‑2 Airbase
Last night, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) pulled off a bomb‑sized drone strike on the Engels‑2 airbase in Saratov Oblast, claiming it the biggest hit the war’s ever seen.
What Went Down
- Target: Engels‑2, Russia’s flagship hub for nuclear‑capable bombers, cruise missiles, and household‑size bombs.
- Attack: A coordinated strike by the SBU and Special Ops units, sending a swarm of drones into the shrapnel‑filled target.
- Sound & Sight: The evening transformed into a firework show with booming explosions and thick clouds of smoke that showed up on the morning sky.
- Aftermath: Rumors of secondary munitions detonating across the base’s perimeter set the scene for a grim spectacle.
Russian Response
Inside Russia, social media buzzed with claims of the “largest” drone blast, with the governor stressing evacuations surrounded the airfield—an area hosting the tech‑heavy bombers actively assaulting Ukrainian positions.
Meanwhile, the Russian air‑defense shot down a whopping 132 drones, with most goings‑to regions:
- 54 in Saratov Oblast
- 40 over Voronezh Oblast
- 22 across Belgorod, Lipetsk, Rostov, Kursk, and Crimea
Ukrainian Defence Agency Says
“We possess accurate intel on Russian strategic sites, abide by international humanitarian law, and constantly protect civilians while ending Russian aggression,” the Ukrainian General Staff announced, underlining their commitment to precision and safety.
