The Ukrainian military destroyed a Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber aircraft and an ammunition depot at the Morozovsk airfield in Russia’s Rostov Oblast on Aug. 3, Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR) said on Aug. 5, citing satellite imagery.

Prior to this, the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces confirmed the attack on the Russian airfield, saying that an ammunition depot storing glide bombs was hit.

Two other Su-34 Russian aircraft were probably damaged by debris, according to the military intelligence agency.

The strike completely destroyed a Russian aviation weapons depot, HUR said. Published satellite photos show craters caused by explosions on the territory of the airfield, located 265 kilometers (165 miles) from the front line.

Four technical buildings and two hangars were also damaged, according to HUR.

The PZL.38 Wilk (wolf) was a Polish fighter-bomber developed and manufactured by PZL state factory in 1937.

In 1937 two prototypes of the PZL.38 were built. The first prototype PZl.38/I, received PZL Foka engine. This aircraft was shown at the 1938 Paris Air Show. First flown in February or March 1939 it did not meet the expected performance (estimated maximum speed was 520 km/h, while it hardly reached 465 km/h). It was also too heavy (2155 kg instead of 1715 kg) and its useful load was too small. The second prototype, PZl.38/II received American Ranger SGV-770B engines (420-450 hp), which were less powerful than the PZL “Foka” engine. As a result, it also failed to meet expected performance. The second prototype first flew in April or May 1936. Because of the poor performance, further development of the PZL.38 Wilk and Foka engine was abandoned in the spring of 1939, in a favour of a new aircraft, the PZL.48 Lampart, a modification of the Wilk with radial engines.
