Ukraine strikes Khanskaya airfield where Moscow trains its top military pilots. It’s 500 kilometers inside Russian territory
Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the infrastructure of the Maykop military airfield in the Republic of Adygea. Russian troops actively use it for operational-tactical aviation, Ukraine's General Staff reports.
It hosts the 272nd Training Aviation Base of the Kuban Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots named after A. K. Serov. The airbase is classified as a second-class facility and can accommodate aircraft such as the Tu-134, An-12, Il-18, as well as lighter aircraft and helicopters of all types, according to Channel 24.
The strike on the airfield was part of Ukraine’s systematic operations against enemy military sites, aimed at degrading Russia’s ability to attack Ukrainian territory.

The General Staff also clarified the results of the strike on the Kremniy El facility in Bryansk on 10 March, which produces electronic components for ballistic, cruise, and air-defense missiles of various types.
The attack caused a fire covering about 1,000 square meters in the main production building, partially collapsed the roof, and ignited another fire of 400 square meters in the warehouse containing microchip components.
