At the beginning of the summer, Ukraine had a "unique chance" to destroy dozens of russian Su-34 bombers at the Malshevo air base, but the United States did not allow them to strike because they were afraid of escalation.
Forbes writes about it.
Intelligence has learned that the 47th Guards Bomber Aviation Regiment of the russian Air Force has deployed dozens of Su-34 fighter-bombers at the Malshevo air base. There are about a hundred such aircraft in service with russia. It is from them that the russian federation launches guided aerial bombs.
Ukraine asked the US to give permission to use ATACMS missiles, which russian air defense would not be able to shoot down.
But Washington was afraid of a possible escalation of the conflict and refused. Soon, the russians moved most of the planes away from the Ukrainian border.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, an SU-34 fighter-bomber and an ammunition depot were destroyed as a result of an attack on the russian Morozovsk airfield in the Rostov Oblast on August 3.
On August 3, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the successful destruction of the enemy airfield Morozovsk in the Rostov Oblast, where ammunition depots, including guided aerial bombs, were hit.
