It is worth noting that a Russian air defense base is indeed located in the area of this settlement. In August, Militarnyi reported the destruction of elements of the Russian S-400 Triumf air defense system near this village. At that time, a total of two 5P85SM2-01 self-propelled launchers were destroyed.
