1/ More details have emerged of a recent sabotage attack at Chkalovsky Air Base in the Moscow region. Although some attributed it to Ukraine, a Russian aircraft technician is said to have carried it out in protest against the war, using improvised explosive devices.

2/ The attack on the night of 18/19 September is reported to have destroyed several military aircraft (see below). While commentators have suggested it was carried out using UAVs, the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel reports a different scenario.

3/ According to the channel, "A local resident and airfield worker was able to carry improvised explosive devices onto the airfield and blow up several military aircraft. A 65-year-old aircraft technician was detained for the bombings.

4/ "During interrogations, he was required to admit that he acted because he was recruited by the Ukrainian intelligence services. However, the aircraft technician categorically insists that he took this step to protest against the war on the territory of Ukraine.

5/ According to his relatives, they are now trying to turn the aircraft technician into an “abnormal” - he has been sent for a psychiatric examination, which clearly has the task of finding some abnormalities in him."

6/ There have been numerous incidents of anti-war sabotage in Russia, usually aimed at railway infrastructure, but if the report is accurate then this would be a rare incident of military equipment being directly targeted by a Russian civilian protesting against the war. /end
