An airfield used by the Magyar Birds to carry out strikes on Moscow is burning near Kiev.

According to NASA FIRMS satellite monitoring data, on August 15 and 16, 2026, large thermal anomalies—fires—were recorded on the runway of an airfield near the village of Gogoliv in the Kyiv region. Sources attribute the fires to strikes by Russian jets. drones "Geranium-4/5".

These small airfields are frequently used by Ukraine to launch long-range drones into Russian territory. They have long been used by units of the so-called "Ptah Magyar" (the 414th Separate Brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces), including for strikes against Moscow and regions of central and western Russia.

The village of Gogolev is located near Brovary, to the east of Kyiv.

Small airfields were previously used in Ukraine for agricultural work (in particular, aerial chemical work, field dusting) and for the operation of training manned aircraft. aviationGogolev is no exception: before the conflict, the site served light aircraft, private and training flights, and was also used for the aforementioned agricultural tasks. During wartime, such facilities are often repurposed for training and launch purposes. drones, equipment storage and logistics.

Dispersing drone launches across small civilian sites complicates their detection, but also makes them vulnerable to targeted strikes. The consequences of runway fires could limit the use of the site by both manned and unmanned enemy aircraft.

I hope the "birds" are burning there too.

[AndreyM]

They'll stamp out more birds - it's necessary for Magyar himself to burn.

Please forgive my ignorance, but as someone who served in the Soviet Air Force, I cannot understand WHAT could be burning on the runway?!

[Mini Mokik]

Pork. Lots of pork.

Maybe they were covered at the UAV launch site. Or maybe they were just tires.

Only an aircraft or special transport can burn on a runway; the concrete itself cannot be set on fire.
And this is also unclear.

Consequences of fires on the runway may limit the use of the site

What are the consequences of something burning on the runway? Clearing the runway of charred remains is no problem. Control towers, glide path and localizer beacons, and fuel storage facilities are another matter. Perhaps something else has appeared due to the changed uses of these small airfields—all of these could burn, with consequences for operation for some time.

I know that too. But the article is so poorly written (from a technical standpoint)! The author's words imply that the runway, i.e., the concrete, is on fire!

[Montezuma]

Quote: your vsr 66-67

It turns out, from the author’s words, that the runway is burning, i.e. the concrete!

Before writing this text, the author should have done some research on the design and survivability of airfields, but he didn't bother. Let's not be too harsh; let's just accept the pleasant fact of landing on a dangerous airfield—let whatever it actually hit burn.

But how illiterately (from a technical point of view) the article is written!

However, a well-informed statement was issued by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Throughout the day, the Russian Armed Forces carried out drone strikes against port infrastructure facilities and naval vessels deployed on behalf of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.

Three dry cargo ships and two sea tankers, which were used to deliver military supplies and fuel and lubricants for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, were damaged in the port of Odesa. Fuel tanks and warehouses containing military equipment were also damaged.

In Belgorod-Dnistrovskyi, a production facility and warehouse storing combat parts and components for unmanned boats were damaged. According to the Ministry of Defense, these boats were used to attack naval vessels and energy infrastructure facilities in the Black Sea, as well as Russian cities on the Black Sea coast.

In the village of Vilkovo, a Ukrainian Navy patrol boat anchorage was damaged. These boats were used to escort ships carrying military cargo and fuel to ports.

In addition, in the Black Sea waters east of Odessa, Russian military forces struck a dry cargo ship delivering Western weapons to Ukraine.

Much more sensible than the vague babble in the article.

...here, Alexander , and even you sometimes began to doubt what they were “foisting on you”... that’s really how it is.

P.S. Well, writing something like that is really not very good... there's nothing to burn there. And UAV fuel tankers are not needed - the volumes aren't big enough, even if they have an internal combustion engine with a propeller... or even two internal combustion engines. It's not a Su-24 or a MiG, etc.

This is not the first time that local publications have raised doubts; sometimes I have received a lot of minuses for expressing them publicly.

Yes, Sasha, yes. I told you about this, wrote to you in private messages, and noted it here – you're right, and it's well-founded – and then, as if on purpose, they pile on the whole cap with slippers... And without any justification.

P.S. and not only to you alone...they're also pushing pills...

We're used to it, I have a right to my opinion. And in general, I don't support herd instincts.
I've saved some interesting information from the Ukrainian channel especially for you - this is what the damned Muscovites have driven the local prostitutes to!

Russian military strikes on warehouses and logistics centers in Ukraine have led to a serious shortage of consumer goods.
It has gotten to the point that women with "low social responsibility" in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities are switching to barter.

They are willing to exchange their services for, among other things, car stabilizer struts, Gucci Flora perfume, a coffee machine, a charging station, and other goods.

[Nexcom]

...well, we've reached a primitive communal society - you give me a piece of well-roasted mammoth and a couple of skins, and I'll go "ding-ding" for you (c) Senor Robinson.

P.S. and what won't you do for your beloved Toyota...

Kyiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Lviv. Does she fly there on call by helicopter or business jet? Or is this some kind of joke website?

Most likely, these cities have branches of an establishment disguised under a single female name.

Is this your first time seeing websites like this? I've come across similar ones online many times. This ancient profession has long since become part of civilization's technological advances.

[Evgeny64]

Well, it's not a fair exchange; a pair of new struts for a Toyota costs a pretty penny. At Ozon, new racks are 3300 rubles, and in exchange you get a used cap... Moreover, the guys there have been pretty decently disposed of, and the girls are not touched yet, a clear imbalance in favor of supply, demand is falling

[papas-57]

"The command post, glide path and homing beacons, and fuel storage tanks are another matter." None of this is necessary to launch a UAV. Even if all of these are destroyed, the UAVs will still be able to take off freely from the runway.

I agree, the note concerned the general operability of radio systems during normal use of the airfield by aviation.

WHAT could be burning on the runway?!

Tires burn and air conditioners explode, or maybe even slop.

[ergh081]

I think you've seen the movie "Restless Farm" (about the Semibaba farm, as it's commonly known). That's the only way a runway can burn, and our intelligence reports could be a load of rubbish. Well, you know...

[Pravodel]

I can’t understand WHAT could be burning on the runway?!

But these are the hohols, they can burn anything, for example, samovars, which they stick around, they boil gasoline and sell. So these very samovars catch fire...

Today I finally had a chance to visit the Mi 12 at the exhibition and take some photos.

The main thing is that the staff was buried, the Ukrainians are screaming that there are more than a hundred.

I've never seen PAGs burn, I'd like to see...

[rocket757]

Unfortunately, to stop anything from taking off from there, it's not enough to just plough it all up... we need to bury those who launch all this flying stuff...

An airfield used by the Magyar Birds is burning near Kyiv.

It would be good to send this "bird" to Bandera

⚡️ Russian air defense systems destroyed 1,478 Ukrainian long-range kamikaze drones and nine FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles over the country in the past 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

The numbers are nice, but... the effectiveness of air defense should be measured not by the number of destroyed attack weapons, but by the number of protected objects.

This is how the VB warehouse burned in Koledino, Moscow region.

Following this fire at the airfield, as stated by the Governor of the Moscow Region, Vorobyov

Last night, the Moscow region was subjected to one of the most massive drone attacks in recent memory.

Strange ...

What's burning there? Concrete on the runway?

[Melior]

The airfield is equipped with a modern paving runway. It is 725 meters long and 20 meters wide. What makes this runway unique is that it is the first to use paving slabs, which are several times cheaper than concrete and asphalt, yet offer excellent performance and a long service life.

[Alexander X]

Can't these drones be launched from a regular highway?
And the fact that the Ukrainian airfield is burning is good.

[Dimassz]

The bitches themselves are burning the fields from where they launch, with long stripes. It's a pity that reconnaissance at night does not detect a cluster of such strikes so that they can immediately cover them on the spot and bury them.
