The Primorsko-Akhtarsk launch base (Krasnodar Krai, ~230 km from the front) illustrates how concentrated and repeatable a strike package is: three purpose-built launch zones, eight fixed launchers, up to 10 simultaneous launches and roughly 25 drones per wave. Storage capacity was further expanded in early 2026: 16 standard garages and 17 enlarged garages (each holding multiple aircraft), with 10 more under construction.
A strike package typically combines several layers covered elsewhere in this learning environment:
| Layer | See also |
|---|---|
| Route & altitude profile: low/terrain-following, or shifted to 2–5 km | 3.1, 3.2 |
| Decoy ratio: Gerberas up front to saturate air defence | 4.3 |
| Wave timing combined with cruise and ballistic missiles | 3.3 |
| EW preparation: CRPA, fibre-optic variants in the mix | 4.2 |
Primorsko-Akhtarsk is not an exception but a representative example: the same combination of fixed launch infrastructure, garage capacity and wave composition recurs at other launch sites. Understanding the pattern at one base makes it easier to recognise elsewhere.
