This is reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing a statement by the head of the Center for Combating Disinformation, Andriy Kovalenko, and Russian media.

"Military airfields are under attack in the Moscow region and other regions of the Russian Federation," A. Kovalenko wrote briefly, without going into details.

Meanwhile, Russian media is providing more information. According to Moscow channels, drones allegedly attacked an airfield where the Russian occupiers' strategic aircraft - Tu-160, Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 bombers - are deployed.

The Russians are not naming the airfield that was attacked. However, there are not many military airfields in the Moscow region – for example, the most famous of them, where strategic aviation can be deployed, are Chkalovsky and Kubinka.

In addition to the Moscow region, explosions were also heard in the Kaluga region. There, the Shaikovka airfield, where Tu-22M3 bombers are deployed, as well as the local Kaluga airport, were attacked. The"Kilimo" plan was announced in the region.

It should be noted that on October 26, a map appeared on the Internet, supposedly showing the location of Moscow's air defense systems. The diagram shows the locations of the complexes in different colors.

The Russians, it turns out, are “moving” the complexes from one place to another. At the same time, on August 5, it became known that the Russian Federation was building a new air defense ring around Moscow. At that time, satellites recorded more than 15 positions.

It should be added that the head of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense, Kirill Budanov, stated in an interview with Italian media on October 25 that Russian air defense is unable to repel Ukrainian drone attacks. According to him, problems with drones penetrating deep into Russia exist only at the border, but the further you go, the fewer air defense forces there are.
