According to military expert Mikhail Zhirokhov in a comment to reporters, earlier the Russian Federation did not use "Mozdok" for military purposes against Ukraine. In his opinion, the invaders were thrown out there to punch Ukraine's aircraft. "Mozdok airfield makes it possible to strike from the Black Sea. In addition, reducing the amount of fuel for combat departure allows you to hang another rocket to the aircraft. The efficiency of rocket strokes can be several times higher," Zhirokhov said.
