Earlier in the summer, dozens of Russian Su-34s were parked in the open at Voronezh Malshevo Air Base, 100 miles from the Ukraine border.

— Ukraine requested permission to use American-made ATACMS missiles to strike this high-value target.

— Many Su-34s are now based hundreds of miles from the border, beyond the range of most Ukrainian drones and ATACMS.
