Quote:Satellite images appear to show major damage and a number of destroyed Russian warplanes at a Crimea airbase following explosions there this week. The Saky base in the west of Russian-ruled Crimea was rocked by a string of blasts on Tuesday, killing one person. The base's runways appear intact, but at least eight aircraft seem damaged or destroyed with several craters visible. Ukraine has not claimed responsibility - but this new evidence suggests the possibility of a targeted attack. It also dispels Russia's denial that any of its aircraft were damaged.Ukraine war: Crimea airbase badly damaged, satellite images show
Quote:Satellite imagery confirmed reports from Ukraine’s air force that the attack destroyed at least eight Russian aircraft, contradicting Russian claims that the explosions did not damage any aircraft and were not the result of an attack.[3] Russian outlets shared conflicting stories: the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed on August 9 that munitions had been detonated at a storage site at the airfield due to negligence, not an attack, and claimed that no aircraft were damaged.[4] Russian milblogger Rybar claimed on August 10 that the explosion was likely not caused by a missile strike and hypothesized that the explosions could be due to negligence and non-compliance with safety regulations or to a small helicopter with a bomb attacking a nearby parking lot.[5]Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, August 10 | Institute for the Study of War
Two more Russian lies
- The Ukranians didn't attack the prison with their own men inside, there would have been a crater from a rocket and much more structural damage to the building.
- The damage to the airport in Crimea was much bigger than the Russians argued, this wasn't just a munition depot explosion.
