Up to 30 Russian personnel may have been killed and another 80 injured, according to a new report, after dramatic footage appeared to show explosions at a Russian military base in northern Crimea overnight.
"About 30 Russian servicemen were killed and about 80 were wounded at the airfield in Dzhankoy," a Crimean-based Telegram channel called Crimean Wind reported on Wednesday. Crimean Wind is a pro-Ukrainian monitoring group that focuses on Crimea and generally offers reliable information.
Natalia Humeniuk, spokesperson for Ukraine's southern forces, described Dzhankoy as a legitimate military target on Wednesday but declined to offer up further details.
A prominent Russian military blogger, Rybar, said Ukrainian forces had attacked the Russian air base at Dzhankoy using around a dozen Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS, missiles. The missiles were launched in two waves, the blogger said.

Satellite imagery previously taken over Dzhankoy suggested Russia had a number of helicopters and advanced air defenses at the site. Earlier this month, pro-Ukrainian partisans operating in Crimea said they had detected a "build-up" of air defense systems on the peninsula, including at Dzhankoy. The Atesh group said additional anti-aircraft missile systems around the Dzhankoy airfield were "not camouflaged in any way."

Crimea appears to be the Russian weak point. I suspect a lot of the military personnel in Crimea are technicians and other support type that would not be able equipped to repel a mass invasion. Take out enough of the back territory infrastructure and then do a D-Day style landing, quickly move to block the Kerch bridge and move up from there to hit the Russian forces from the rear.
Make it expensive for Vlad. As long as his people support what he’s doing a victory on their part will only make them worse.
Russia’s $800 million S-400 air defense system flops once again.
The surviving helicopters are being evacuated back to bases in Russia.
This move will complicate and slow down Ivan’s ability to advance in Ukraine?
This is all about the continued demilitarization of Russian capabilities in Crimea and the western Black Sea.

How does bombing a Ruzzian Airfield in Crimea take back YouCrayne
territory?
Answer: it doesn’t.
Public Relations Win For YouCraynee. That’s about it.

Russia should be embarrassed at how crappy their S-400 is.

Could really care less. Both YouCrayne and Ruzzia are corrupt countries.

—
UKR has no landing craft, no troops trained in beach landings. All of them would be taken out by arty fires and drones. Not a good idea.
Good news, everyone! No Azov guy assault brigades have mutinied since yesterday!
On the flip side, the day is not over on the Eastern Front.
