On June 30, the Ukrainian Combat Air Force targeted and successfully destroyed a Russian drone repair facility in southern Ukraine. Photo: @Flying Skull. In fact, this Russian drone repair facility has become essential infrastructure to maintain the operational tempo of UAVs, especially when both reconnaissance and kamikaze UAVs are widely used by Russia in frontline and deep strike roles in the current period.

Therefore, this attack is like a strong blow to the logistical capacity and operational capability of Russian unmanned aerial systems on the front lines. Photo: @ Military Times. The attack was carried out by the Ukrainian Air Force in cooperation with aerial reconnaissance specialists from the Flying Skull unit - part of the Unmanned Systems Force. Photo: @Flying Skull. Recently, the Flying Skull unit released a clip of this attack, showing the destruction of the Russian facility used to maintain and service military drones. Photo: @Flying Skull.
According to a report by the Flying Skull unit, the Ukrainian Air Force used MiG-29 jets to drop the US-supplied GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb on the target. Photo: @Flying Skull. The small size of the GBU-39 allows a fighter jet to carry more bombs. These 110kg bombs, known for their high accuracy and long range, caused devastating damage to a Russian UAV repair facility building in southern Ukraine. Photo: @Flying Skull.

The use of the GBU-39 bomb not only demonstrates the integration of Western weapons into Ukraine’s existing air force platforms, such as the Soviet-era MiG-29, but it also demonstrates how Ukraine combines precision strikes with real-time intelligence from reconnaissance units and drones.
