Russian Air defenses have been activated and explosions reported at Voronezh Malshevo airfield..The base is home to the 47th Composite Guards Aviation Regiment which operates two squadrons of Sukhoi Su-34s (NATO: Fullback)..Atlas news has reported earlier explosions at Belgorod, much closer to the Ukrainian border..https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cc1uME3A5g4/?igshid=NDA1YzNhOGU=.Black smoke rising from Voronezh Airfield and what looks to be the smoke trail from an IR seeker-headed missile. Note the white trail, zig-zag pattern common with most scan methods of IR seekers and short range of the shot. Could be indicative of MANPADS or Tactical IR SAMs like the SA-9 and SA-13, however, those systems typically move with Russian ground troops not provide point defense to airfields.
