Drones could hit the special fuel depot for MiG-31K at the "Savasleyka" base, - Defence Express.


Ukraine struck Russian airfields in Russia, including the "Savasleyka" airfield, where the carriers of "Kinzhal" missiles - MiG-31K aircraft, which use special fuel T-6, are stored.
The "Savasleyka" airfield is located 650 km from the border. The attack was carried out on the night of August 14.
NASA's satellite service detects a powerful fire in the unloading and storage area of fuel and lubricants. According to the publication, there are T-6 fuel depots in this area, which is used for MiG-31K.
Kerosene T-6 is a special type of fuel required for supersonic flights at high altitudes. Its production is carried out not at all oil refineries, and it is used exclusively for MiG-31K.
This is the defeat of fuel reserves and parts of the fuel infrastructure of the "Savasleyka" airfield. The basing of the MiG-31K at this airbase may be complicated. The enemy may relocate the aircraft to another airfield, but this will present additional difficulties for them.
The "Savasleyka" airfield also bases MiG-31BM, which are interceptors.
Recall that Ukrainian drones were equipped with airborne detonation warheads. NASA's satellite service detects fires, not explosions, so it will not register the destruction of aircraft.
Also, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed an enemy Su-34 over Kursk region.
