"[After the explosions,] the occupiers, as they say, have disappeared somewhere. ... In military terminology, it is called "dispersal" of their strategic aviation at different airfields, moved (to airfields – ed.) where it is possible to service it, where there are appropriate runways that they can use," Ihnat said.

According to him, ordinary Russians and the military, who previously claimed that the special operation does not concern them, have already realized that the consequences for the aggression condemned by the whole world cannot be avoided – it will concern everyone.

As reported before, on December 5, explosions occurred at Russian military airfields in the Saratov region and near Ryazan, which led to damage to aircraft. A gas tanker exploded at the airfield near Ryazan. Three people died as a result of the incident; six more were injured.

On December 8, at least nine aircraft disappeared from the airbase Dyagilevo near Ryazan after the strike which means they have been redeployed to other airfields.
