Satellite images have emerged online showing the results of drone strikes on an airfield near Russian Pskov, where at least four Il-72 planes were destroyed, according to the images published by OSINT analysts on Twitter.

In the published photos, at least two destroyed aircraft can be seen. However, due to cloud cover, the entire territory of the airfield is not visible.

From the photos, it can be understood that the aircraft are not suitable for restoration, and their repair would require a minimum of three months.
