Military counter-intelligence officers of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) attacked the airfield in Kursk, Russia, on the night of August 27 using cardboard drones, according to RBC-Ukraine's sources.

According to sources, cardboard drones are invisible to enemy radars. As the test showed, after the explosion, the striking elements cover a fairly large area, enough to damage even a large aircraft.

It was with the help of these cardboard drones that military counter-intelligence officers of the SSU attacked the airfield in Kursk, Russia, on the night of August 27. Then they damaged four SU-30 aircraft and one MiG-29. The S-300 complex radars and two Pantsir missile systems are also among the targets hit.

"Thanks to the non-standard approaches of specialists from the SSU, Russians now have one more nightmare," the sources added.

Attack on the airfield in Kursk
On the night of August 27, explosions rang out in Kursk. Locals reported on social networks that they also heard automatic queues. Later, footage of the moment of the explosion appeared, showing a bright flash in the night sky.

The governor of the Kursk region confirmed that they tried to attack Kursk with drones. However, he only stated that one UAV hit a high-rise building.

RBC-Ukraine's sources in the SSU said that it had been military counter-intelligence of the special service that attacked the airfield in Kursk. Aircraft and air defense equipment of the occupiers are placed there.
