Another incident shook the Russian military infrastructure during the night of July 26, when unknown perpetrators attacked a strategically important aviation facility. The Su-27UB aircraft was completely destroyed during the explosion at the Armavir military airfield.

The communication blockade in the area was confirmed by local residents, who reported a complete interruption of mobile networks and communication channels around the military base. The airport traditionally serves as a key training center for cadets from the Krasnodar Aviation School.

The frequent acts of internal resistance are becoming increasingly organized, and this case is another proof of the growing tension within the Russian military system. Ukrainian intelligence GRU sent an unambiguous message: every war criminal will be inevitably punished.

"Glory to Ukraine!" – the decisive message of the Ukrainian services hints at their involvement in the incident, although they do not officially take direct responsibility for the explosion.
