Russian officials said Friday that air defenses intercepted drones heading toward three of the country’s western regions, while satellite images indicated that a major drone barrage earlier in the week destroyed at least two Ilyushin Il-76 military transport planes at a Russian air base.
Regional governors said defense systems stopped three drones in the Kursk, Belgorod and Moscow regions.
The Associated Press was unable to determine whether the drones are launched from Ukraine or inside Russia. The four-engine Il-76 is the workhorse of the Russian military’s airlift capacity, able to land and take off in rugged conditions. The Russian military is believed to have over 100 of them in its fleet.
