The UK Ministry of Defence has published satellite images showing that Russia is building protected aircraft shelters at several airbases near the border with Ukraine.
This is stated in a post on the social network X, Censor.NET reports.
According to British intelligence, the shelters are being built at the Millerovo, Kursk-Vostochny and Gvardeyskoye airfields. The structures have a domed roof, thick shockproof doors, and are covered with earth to enhance protection.
As noted, special attention is paid to the Millerovo base, which is located 17 km from the Ukrainian border. It was last attacked by Ukrainian UAVs on 22 July 2025. British intelligence notes that eight ground shelters at this base are almost ready for use.
The report emphasises that such actions are a response to the growing number of successful attacks by Ukrainian drones on Russian aviation infrastructure.
