Saboteurs have blown up two aeroplanes inside a highly protected Moscow airfield where Vladimir Putin keeps his “doomsday” aircraft, Ukrainian intelligence says.<\/p>\n

The daring militants, who remain unidentified, detonated explosives on the airfield at the Chkalovsky Air Base, taking out tan An-148 and Il-20 aircraft, as well as a Mi-28N helicopter \u2013 previously used to bring down Ukrainian drones.<\/p>\n

The air base is a known storage site for Putin\u2019s Il-80 Maxdome ‘Doomsday aircraft’ \u2013 a plane that would be deployed in the dire event of nuclear war.<\/p>\n

It is just 20 miles northwest of the Russian capital and also keeps vital Russian reconnaissance planes.<\/p>\n

Ukraine says the extent of the damage to the aircraft and helicopter makes it impossible for them to be repaired quickly.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian Main Directorate of Intelligence today claimed the attack, which reportedly took place on Monday, “caused quite a bit of hysteria” within Russia\u2019s military elite.<\/p>\n

It said in a post: “Unknown persons planted explosives and detonated an An-148 and Il-20 aircraft – both belong to the 354th special purpose aviation regiment at the airfield.”<\/p>\n

Anton Gerashchenko, Advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, wrote: The sabotage reportedly took place at the Chkalovsky Air Base, where government planes, \u2018doomsday\u2019 planes and reconnaissance aircraft are based.<\/p>\n

“Due to the damage, quick repair is impossible. The helicopter’s tail section was damaged. Another AN-148, which was parked next to the others, sustained minor damage.”<\/p>\n

The attack comes as Ukraine celebrates a flurry of major victories in its counteroffensive operations, including the liberation of two villages southwest of Bakhmut.<\/p>\n

Ukraine has taken back more than half of previously Russian-occupied territory in the country, US General Mark Millet said.<\/p>\n

He told the 54-country Ukraine Defence Contact Group that Ukraine has so far freed more than 54 per cent of Russian-held territory as of Tuesday.<\/p>\n
