According to British intelligence services, a drone attack on a strategically important military airfield in western Russia once again revealed weaknesses in the Russian air defense system.
The Ministry of Defense in London said that on May 3 several drones attacked the Sisha airfield in the Bryansk region, most likely damaging an Antonov An-124 transport aircraft.
The Russian leadership is likely concerned that anti-aircraft defenses remain vulnerable and that key strategic assets such as air bases are vulnerable.
