Crimea Air Base on Fire After ATACMS Strike Hosted 32 Russian Jets: Report
Newsweek ^ | 5/15/2024 | Brendan Cole

Russian air base in Crimea that caught fire following a suspected Ukrainian missile attack hosted dozens of military aircraft central to Moscow's invasion.

Ukraine has stepped up strikes on Russian facilities on the peninsula Moscow has occupied since 2014 and which Kyiv has vowed to recapture. Regarding the latest incident, Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Moscow-installed governor of Sevastopol, said there had been a massive Ukrainian missile attack over the port city overnight Tuesday.

Footage on social-media channels showed flames billowing into the air at the Belbek airfield near Sevastopol. Here is the focal point of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, whose vessels and infrastructure have been repeatedly targeted by Kyiv.

Krym Realii said that its data showed that at the airfield were based 12 Sukhoi Su-27 aircraft, 12 Sukhoi Su-27SM aircraft, and three Sukhoi Su-27UB combat training aircraft, as well as five two-seat Sukhoi Su-30M2—a total of 32 jets.

Biden's butt boys love to point to Crimea as if the Ukrainians have a chance in hell of taking it back. This attack has as much impact on the battlefield as Blinken playing a gay song on his guitar. One look at Zelensky’s cheese eating pale face says a lot about how the war is going. Ukraine finally admitted that they have no more reserves to throw into battle. I wonder what happened to all the troops they had?

There are dummies at this airbase but poorly done. And USAF ISR drone was surveying the area for almost 24 hours before last nights attack.

You should indeed be praying for the military-industrial complex. That is the true basis for US power in the world, not the makers of Oreos and Cheetos and bad beer.

At least you admit you’re a warmongering POS responsible for hundreds of thousands of Ukraine deaths.

I know, I know. You are willing to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian life, because you are very brave.

The US has depended on its “warmongers” since the 1890s.
To decisive, long term effect ever since.
I am happy (and quite proud) to have worked in the US “merchants of death” industry in the 1980s.

If you were to sit down and think for a minute you too would see it my way.

>>More Russian fighter bombers on fire at Belbek tonight.<<

Are you talking about Baalbek in Syria where the largest temple, dedicated to Baal, is located (constructed by the Romans)? I visited the sight as a tourist in 1972 and almost fell off my camel. I have a B&W picture made with a Rolleiflex on 120 Agfa film. Was too poor to use color.

Crimea is a legit target for ukr but, their attacks will have no more effect on the outcome of the war than nazi V2 missile attacks hitting england a couple of weeks before the end of WW2. Also the russkies have occupied crimea since Catherine the great bought it from the ottoman turks in the 1700s. It has russia’s most important ice free naval base, which is super important to the russians. It was operated as russian naval base even after it was claimed by ukr, I think russia paid for leasing it. Russia will go nuclear before giving up their most important naval base. Ukr is not getting it.

We knew this would happen. Ukraine is losing on the front, but they are gaining with Crimea

Stoli comes in 5 flavors.
Used to be 6.

But that’s another Stoli.
