An ambitious Ukrainian bomber raid firing British-French cruise missiles broke through Kremlin air defenses and hammered a major military airfield in the Russia-occupied Crimea peninsula, official sources and independent media said Thursday.

At least three Ukrainian Sukhoi Su-24 (NATO reporting name: Fencer) attack bombers carried out the main effort of the Wednesday attack, launching a minimum six British Storm Shadow or French SCALP cruise missiles at targets around Belbek air base, near the Crimea city of Sevastopol.

Belbek is the Russian Federation’s most-developed and best-defended air force base in the Black Sea region.

3. Would sure be great to see Russia defeated

.....and Putin sacked. And how about a sincere Russian effort to adopt democracy and cooperate with the rest of the world, rather than try to dominate it.

Dreams

4. More info...will likely have better shots by tomorrow.

5. Even the Russians have reported this one, saying 3 planes were destroyed

and 20 people on the ground were killed.

Destroyed is one thing, I have to wonder how many planes on the ground were crippled by shrapnel. Russia knew they couldn't hide the burnt to a crisp planes from satellites. Other planes on the field might have been disabled, some permanently.

Crimea is rapidly becoming far too expensive to try to hang onto, especially since every drop of fresh water has to be brought in by ship or rail/highway tankers. Mother Nature took care of their coastal fortiications. Seems like the message should be coming through loud and clear: ime to dynamite all those new hotels and GTFO. That will happen the day they finlly get rid of Putin and replace him with someone who isn't quite as crazy.

14. I'm sure this hit

Damaged much more than we are hearing about at this moment. Time might provide more details. Ukraine has been focused on high value targets for a long time now.

13. Denys has been

A great information asset through this unjustified invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

7. there must be high value targets there for so much direction of the forces

[Red Mountain]

8. Well, yes

but if Russian air defenses are capable of downing these cruise missiles then launching a bunch is going to be the best way to get a few through.

Russians do the same thing.....with poor targeting.

Hamas does the same thing......with no targeting.

12. And Ukrainians try to

Precision target to limit civilian casualties.

11. I'm sure they are very

High value targets!!
