Air traffic at the two Moscow airports Domodedovo and Vnukovo was temporarily suspended again on Monday night – but operations returned to normal shortly afterwards. The airports had meanwhile been closed for take-offs and landings, as reported by the Russian state news agency TASS, citing the air traffic services.
It was later said that the capital’s Domodedovo and Vnukovo airports and the Zhukovsky military airport had resumed operations. A reason for the suspension of flight operations was not initially given. Most recently, air traffic in the Moscow region was repeatedly interrupted at night due to drone attacks. The country has been waging a war of aggression against neighboring Ukraine for around 18 months.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Resnikov assumes that the F-16 fighter jets will be used against Russia from spring. “I would say that could be in the spring of next year,” he told the Ronzheimer podcast, according to an advance notice from the “Bild” newspaper. The western jets should prove to be a “serious ‘game changer'” in the fight against the Russian troops.
