Ukraine Deep Strikes: Strategic Bomber, Air Defense, and Fighter Jet Damage in Russia

Ukrainian forces have conducted multiple deep strikes into Russian territory, confirmed to have damaged a MiG-29 fighter jet and a Pantsir air defense system at Kursk airfield. Claims of damage to a Russian long-range bomber and a Tu-95 strategic bomber at Engels airbase, along with additional fighter jets and Pantsir-S1 systems in Kursk Oblast, remain largely unverified. These strikes indicate a sustained Ukrainian effort to degrade Russian air superiority and strategic aviation capabilities.
