- On 10 April the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) claimed that unmanned aerial vehicles hit a Russian military airfield in Adygea, destroying a Su‑35 fighter, a Su‑34 attack aircraft and a munitions depot at the Khanskaya airfield, which lies 6 km from Maykop and roughly 500 km from Ukrainian‑controlled territory.
- The SBU noted that the Khanskaya facility hosts the 272nd Training Aviation Base of the Russian Aerospace Forces and is used for operational logistics. It also referenced a prior strike on 3 October when Ukrainian UAVs hit the Tsymbulovo UAV base in Oryol, causing fires at launch facilities, and said President Volodymyr Zelensky announced plans to field homemade small missiles by the end of October and expand automatic gun towers around Kyiv to counter Russian UAVs.
