Ukraine’s Security Service said long-range drones struck Khanskaya military airfield near Maykop as part of a late-July to early-August campaign, claiming two Su-35 fighters, two L-39 trainers, fuel storage and other airfield infrastructure were hit.

RBC-Ukraine relayed an SBU (3 August 2026) summary of a ~40-day deep-strike campaign (targets listed for 27 July–2 August). Among military airfield claims was Khanskaya near Maykop (Adygea): two Su-35s, two L-39 trainers, fuel storage and other infrastructure. Independent satellite BDA of the Su-35 losses is not established in this package; treat aircraft kills as Ukrainian claim. Distinct from earlier corpus deep-strike nights and the Ufa refinery package.
