🇺🇦✈️ About the runway on the Dnipropetrovsk highway
The other day, footage appeared on the Ukrainian segment of the Internet with the take-off of the MiG-29 fighter of the Ukrainian Air Force from the Dnipropetrovsk highway.
🔻 Why from the highway?
With such measures, the command of the AFU seeks to additionally secure its aviation from strikes against its bases. This is not new to the enemy: on the first day of the SMO, a few hours before the start of the massive Russian attack, the planes left for alternate airfields. As a result, most of the launches fell "in milk".
And since the end of last year, the engineering units of the AFU, together with private construction companies, began to conduct reconnaissance for the deployment of tactical aviation field airfields.
🔻Where are these objects located?
The enemy is creating one of the improvised airfields on the E105 highway from Dnepropetrovsk to Kharkov. On the 16-kilometer section of the highway, construction work has begun to re-equip the road for a runway.
Coordinates:
–Beginning of the runway - 48,6411869, 35,1683306
–End of the runway - 48,7316392, 35,2532717
Along the site, fences and lawns were dismantled from the dividing strip. In their place, a solid roadbed was laid, and taxiways, aircraft parking spaces and ramps to them with PAG-18 reinforced concrete slabs were equipped parallel to the highway.
Coordinates:
–Parking №1 — 48,6728650, 35,2060411
-Parking №2 - 48,7227464, 35,2513517
🔻The tactics of the Ukrainian Air Force to change bases in the past has shown its effectiveness. In particular, from all Russian strikes on airfields, the AFU lost only a few of their aircraft.
The construction of improvised runways complicates the search for new aircraft stands from the satellite. However, not every road in eastern Ukraine is suitable for creating a network of such bases, which narrows the exploration area to a few major highways.
