Today, Ukrainian militants made another attempt to launch a combined strike on Crimea. For two hours, air defense forces repelled the enemy attack, and traffic along the Crimean Bridge was temporarily suspended.

According to specialized telegram channels, 6 Su-24 bombers and three MiG-29 fighters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were involved in the attack. In the first wave, ADM-160 MALD missiles were launched to distract air defense systems, after which Storm Shadow/SCALP-AG cruise missiles were launched.



Traditionally, the attack was coordinated by NATO reconnaissance aircraft. An American RQ-4 Global Hawk UAV was operating over the Black Sea, and a Boeing P-8A Poseidon AWACS aircraft was circling off the eastern coast of Romania.

According to military correspondents, while repelling an attempted missile attack on Crimea, a Ukrainian Su-24 aircraft was shot down

According to preliminary data, Russian air defense intercepted 12 missiles fired by the enemy. No casualties or destruction were recorded on the ground. Military expert Boris Rozhin, citing sources, reports that at least one enemy aircraft was hit while repelling the raid. Another aircraft was damaged, but was able to return to the airfield.

The Russian military shot down 1 of the planes that attacked Crimea today. A Su-24 bomber crashed in the Pravdino area. Another MiG-29 fighter was damaged, but was able to reach the airfield in Krivoy Rog

– said Boris Rozhin.

    It was an "armada" of bitches. How could such significant targets be missed at the start of the attack? It’s clear that it’s like jack-in-the-box from different points. Without A-50? Without satellite monitoring? Without a duty team of MiG-31 interceptors? In response to such terrorist attacks, responsible structures in the Ministry of Defense only reflect in response, and do not take measures to suppress such attacks at the beginning.

      Yes, a little impotent. They could have at least adopted the Ukrainian tactics of shooting down our planes at long distances. If things are going hard for you

      Without knowing what and how, you shouldn’t blame the military. From takeoff to launch of rockets it can take only 2 - 3 minutes. You will only be able to classify the targets. So, no matter what hangs on our side, there may simply be little time left before missiles are launched from Ukrainian sides. But then they, the sides, will get it, which is confirmed by the downing and damage of the Ukrainian sides. On the contrary, they discovered it in a timely manner and took action. Well done to our military. Well, if missiles are detected during launches, then determining the direction and transmitting data to the air defense sector is a matter of a couple of minutes, which is what happened. All the missiles were shot down.

    Why not have Geran's ready to be launched the second a major attack is discovered and launch them at the bases that the AFU planes take off from. That way, the returning aircraft may be interposed with the attacking aircraft via radar and air defense detections units. The Russians may be able to induce a few friendly fire incidents and also get some major hits on those air bases. Shoot off some of those old P-39's too.

    Fine. They calmly took off, struck and returned to the airfields. Of the 9 planes, only one was shot down. Simply brilliant work by the VKS, which “dominate” the air.

      To launch 12 missiles you need 6 sides. The VKS worked fine.
      You are based on the missile launch range from the line of contact, and ours are not hovering over it. But we still got two. In addition, we discovered the launches and flight direction of these missiles, and the rest was completed by our air defense.
      And once again for everyone. Taking off an airplane and launching rockets takes very little time. Moreover, these aircraft could take off at the maximum distance from the NEO line and at the limit of the range of our missiles, or even beyond. And the way our team worked speaks of excellent preparation. The sides that were closer fell within range of our weapons. And the missiles launched by the Ukrainians, as it were (there are English and American ears sticking out, in terms of preparation and guidance), intercepted everything.

    ...They have brazenly declared the Crimean Bridge a shooting gallery and are training to destroy it...
    And ours are just fighting back...
    Yes, and as punishment, develop and carry out a VKS operation to destroy bridges across the Dnieper in Kyiv...

    Or it is quite possible to thoroughly demolish port facilities, for example, in Odessa..., Nikolaev, etc.

    But how many planes do crests have? This is already the 576th “cracker”.

    All sorts of court Kremlin iksperds here tirelessly convince us that the bridges across the Dnieper cannot be destroyed, but the crests seem to have a different opinion and are consistently achieving their goal. It seems that the reason why bridges across the Dnieper are not touched lies in a different plane

      You do not praise yourself, no one praises.

    Danila, why are you spreading gossip? Where, when our planes were shot down, are you listening to okrainsk gossip. Where is the video of the downed planes? crests knock them down in droves, but where is the gossip?
