Hostomel Landings | On February 24, 2022, elite Russian airborne forces carried out a surprise helicopter assault on Antonov Airport in Hostomel, Ukraine, located just 12 miles northwest of Kyiv. The goal was to secure a strategic air bridgehead to land heavy reinforcements and swiftly capture the capital. Ukrainian defenders fiercely resisted, damaging the runway and disabling the landing of heavy transport planes, which ultimately ruined the rapid assault plan.
