Defense Express reported the information.Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) has released footage showing a precision drone strike on Russian light aircraft that Moscow had been deploying to counter Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles. The operation stands out for two remarkable reasons: the target was identified through Russian state television propaganda, and the aircraft designed to hunt drones were themselves destroyed by drones.The breakthrough came when Russian state TV aired a segment showcasing a unit of light aircraft tasked with intercepting Ukrainian UAVs. Despite not explicitly naming the location, the broadcast provided enough visual information for open-source intelligence analysts to geolocate the facility. Defense Express independently identified the site on October 15 as Korsak airfield, located near the village of Pryazovske, approximately 12 miles southeast of occupied Melitopol.The airfield had recently undergone renovations, with Russia completing runway resurfacing in early September—a clear indication of Moscow's plans to utilize the facility for ongoing operations.Ukrainian forces conducted extensive surveillance of the target before launching the attack, identifying specific aircraft types being used by Russian forces. The strike, carried out by two Ukrainian attack drones and documented by a reconnaissance UAV, resulted in the destruction of at least two aircraft.One of the destroyed planes appears to be a Yak-52 trainer aircraft, possibly the same one featured in the Russian propaganda piece with the registration number RA-1874G. The second aircraft was identified as a high-wing plane, likely a Cessna 172 that Russian forces had modified with a twin machine gun mount installed beneath the fuselage. Interestingly, footage from the Russian broadcast had shown these Cessna aircraft at a different, unidentified military airfield.The incident underscores the risks of operational security failures in modern warfare. Analysts were able to pinpoint the airfield's location using seemingly minor details visible in the broadcast—including terrain features, fresh asphalt, utility poles, and nearby settlements. Ukrainian military experts warn that Russian intelligence services employ similar open-source analysis techniques on Ukrainian military footage, emphasizing the need for careful information security on both sides of the conflict.On Tuesday, October 21, the Defense Forces targeted the Bryansk Chemical Plant, which was making fuel for Russian missiles used to attack Ukraine.
