Putin’s Revenge: Dramatic Footage Shows Russian Su-34 Bombers Blowing Up Ukrainian Launchpads

A Russian Su-34 bomber from the Southern Battlegroup struck a temporary Ukrainian staging area, with Russian officials claiming the strike was successful and the crew returned safely. Recon units reportedly confirmed the target was eliminated. The strike comes amid intensified aerial warfare across Ukraine’s eastern frontlines. Meanwhile, Ukraine says it struck back on June 9, destroying two Russian jets—including a MiG-31K—at Savasleyka airbase, a key site for Russia’s hypersonic missile fleet. Both sides are now increasingly using deep strikes to disrupt each other’s logistics and force buildup, as battles grow deadlier across the eastern sector.
