Expert On Strike Against Saky Air Base: Enemy Failed To Counter It With Aircraft

This is the result of the successful work of the Defence Forces of Ukraine.

Ammunition detonates at the Russian Saky air base in temporarily occupied Crimea after a night attack. In addition, enemy aircraft can be damaged. This is the result of the successful work of the Defence Forces of Ukraine.

Serhiy Bratchuk, the Speaker of the South Ukrainian Volunteer Army, said.

"Now there is an additional reconnaissance of this strike, but we can preliminarily say that ammunition depot was targeted and, as far as I know, it is detonating. Several enemy aircraft that are located at this airfield could also be damaged," he said.

Bratchuk recalled that before that, the Saky airbase had been hit in January, and the occupiers may have hoped that there would be no strikes on it in the foreseeable future. As Bratchuk said, they did not even have time launch their aircraft for efence. There have been at least 16 of them at the airfield recently, we are talking about the Su-34 and Su-35.

“But it's not just about aircraft. Here it is necessary to understand, in my opinion, a more serious thing. Aircraft were damaged and it is good when aircraft are being shot down or destroyed. But, in my opinion, the main thing is to destroy air base infrastructure. Because this is what ensures the flights of these aircraft.

There will be no infrastructure — there will be no takeoffs and, moreover, there will be no landings. And at a minimum, the enemy will move their aircraft to a longer distance, for example, to the territory of the Russian Federation, which increases both the approach time and the ability of Ukrainian air defence systems to respond in the event of an enemy air attack... And most importantly, our people will have more time to hide in a safe place," commented Serhiy Bratchuk.

He also noted that Ukraine has enough means of its own production to attack the military facilities of the occupiers in the territory of temporarily occupied Crimea.
