The Air Force of Ukraine assumes that as a result of the explosions on August 9 at the airfield in the occupied Crimea , a warehouse of aviation weapons and about a dozen aircraft were destroyed.

The spokesman of the Air Force Command, Yuriy Ignat, said this on the air of the telethon, Liga.net informs .

"Regarding the explosion that we watched in the video footage, it is clear that the aviation weapons warehouse was hit. Because there was a serious detonation, it means that the warehouse was hit <…> Any airfield disabled is a very good thing. And also, if an additional dozen planes are destroyed there, it will be a real small victory," he said.

The planes of the Russian Federation took off from the airfield. 24/7 enemy aviation patrols the airspace near Ukraine. Without flying to Zmiiny Island, they patrol the Black Sea constantly, changing only planes and crews, noted the spokesman of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

In general, there are 5 airfields in Crimea that the Russian Federation can use to take off planes and launch missile strikes on Ukraine, and this poses quite a threat, in addition to dozens of airfields in Belarus and Russia itself, Ignat added.
