On the night of April 17, the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the close-in support of the NATO military launched attack on the Russian military airfield in the town of Dzhankoi in Crimea. As a result of the attack, several powerful explosions thundered and a large fire broke out in the area.
According to the reports by the local residents, explosions sounded for about an hour. Russian military sources soon revealed important details of the attack.
The airport came under the attack of the US-made MGM-140 ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles. The first explosion sounded at about 3:40 a.m. Moscow time and the attack lasted about an hour.
The were reportedly launched in two waves from the Ukrainian-controlled areas in the Kherson region. According to some sources close to the Russian military, in total, 12 ATACMS were used in the attack. The first wave of strikes reportedly involved seven missiles, apparently with cluster warheads, and at least five more missiles were launched in the second wave. There were no reports about the interception of any missiles. The Russian military is yet to officially comment on the attack.
The local sources confirmed damage to the military facility. At least one of the buildings was damaged. The main targets of the attack were likely the air defense systems deployed at the airfield. The alleged photo from the spot shows the destroyed S–400 Triumph air defense system. 3 launchers and radars were reportedly destroyed.

The second wave of strikes reportedly targeted the point of repair of military equipment of the 77th anti–aircraft missile brigade deployed in the area, where two S-300 launchers were being repaired there. The secondary detonation of ammunition was heard in the town. Any damage to the depots at the airfield are yet to be confirmed.
The military airfield belongs to the 39th Helicopter Regiment of the 4th Army of the Air Force and Air Defense. There is no information about the damage to the aircraft.
According to unconfirmed reports, as of this morning, about 15 Russian servicemen were wounded, and another 22 were considered missing.
The attack was launched by the US-made missiles, with the close support of US military reconnaissance. Most likely, the US military coordinated and launched the strikes on the ground.
If the attack was launched from the Ukrainian military positions in the Kherson region, both MGM-140A with a range of up to 165 km and MGM-140B with the range of 300 km could be used for the strikes.
The American RQ-4B drone and the Boeing P-8a Poseidon NATO long-range radar reconnaissance aircraft was spotted over the Black Sea during the attack.
The Ukrainian/NATO military is preparing for a larger attack on the peninsula. Kiev announced that it is preparing another terrorist attack on the Crimean peninsula used by the civilian population. The main goal of the strike in Dzhankoy was to weaken Russian air defense before attacking the Crimean Bridge. On April 15, two Storm Shadow missiles were intercepted in the area of the port city of Berdyansk in the Zaporozhie region. Then, the Ukrainian military was probing Russian air defense.
interesting turn of events. that said, it is one battery that was taken out. now that one us down the rest are on high alert. the amount of resources used in this attack is massive and the likely hood of the repeat exact attack are limited. there are numerous batteries near the crimean bridge which ukriane hasn’t struck. the likelihood is that incompetent actions played a major role in this. happens to every military. israel being one such example during this whole gaza conflict..
military oversight, mistakes “on the ground” might have played a role in this event. regardless, the russian armed forces quickly learn from mistakes or strategic defensive errors.
every attack/counterattack leaves a trail…
wests isr aircraft need to be downed.
more that ukraine look and and look for gabs.
thenever they do , they fire.
its a big mistake again and again to blame fx air defence is 100%. israel is world famous for their socalled dome. i dont see incompent in that. is very difficult as well.
why don’t you just fuck off to your imbecilestan and degenerate school for more lessons on brain washing? listen to me now. tijuana is not far away from american bases in san diego. 120 mm mortar in a four to five minutes of fire can do much more damage. trust me.
in my gap i have piles. they hurt like fire. i am famous to take twenty-five øre coin and no condome
“thenever they do , they fire”
enough of yur idiotic danish fruitcake ramblings.
muppetheaded freak, glutton for punishment weirdo…
in the ukrainian world you get punished if you mention nato support whenever ukraine does something.
only news is they also try to connect isis penguins served vodka with free ice for thempenguin🐤🐤🐤
and the real facts are hardly none for so many different reasons dislike ukros.
48n6e3 missiles of s400 are designed to intercept ballistic missiles at speeds of mach 14. atacsm is mach 4 at a semi ballistic trajectory. 5 launchers with 20 missiles versus 12 atacms did not stand a chance. you need at least 10-12 launchers of s-400 to repel an attack of that size.
the only thing is that ukraine posted a fake photo of two ukrainians s-300 launchers destroyed by russian iskander on may 8 2022 and cover it with 2 launchers intacts close to with the purpose to hide the korotych village in kharkov.
the russian invaders and their air-defence architecture got hit really hard this time. likely it’s time for them to leave the place and better think about not invading foreign countries again.
isso é photoshop, cara
it’s been two years. time to stop making stupid mistakes maybe?
russia should stop playing with kiev and hit it hard; seriously hard. maje it count. that zelensky is and continues to waste ukrainian life is despicable. he is a traitor to his people.
i agree. but, for now the talk about red lines have been all talk and no play. russia keeps trying to negotiate and whatnot while it should follow the american model of shock and awe to end this war not wait until ukropistan regroup and rearm. i understand russia wants to prevent ww3 and is dancing on a tightrope. at some point they have to do what is needed. if russia used mexico as their proxy to fight usa they would already turned their neighbor in a parking lot.
“if russia used mexico as their proxy to fight usa they would already turned their neighbor in a parking lot”
americans are too fucking stupid to realize that, but you are absolutely correct.
the jewinited snakes are already being flooded across the borders with millions of trolls and goblins from all over the world half of which hate the jewmerican guts and the other equally despising the scum of the earth and fucking up the filth 24/7 every way possible. this is just a preview, in no time jewmerica already descending into a developing country quality of life will turn into a guatemala with nukes. i speak from personal experience in los angeles.
the russians should follow the american model? it really has worked well, hasn’t it? thanks for derping.
who is russia? and there are no negosations at all. you must be blind.
the same from ukras. they want to russian influcence there by the ussr emepire.
the want to well connedted to the rest of the world, where there are hopes for the future. here eu is a big old tradepartner by sale of food and minerals – now just by kiev instaed of moskva.
they also want sell the needed food fx to countries in africa.
the demands from us in eu are fair trade with no corruption and updated connection fx i roads, railwais and internet.
we want to invest there in a something for something, which raise they gdp. but they the demands are they replace ancient stuff as we do. we loose many jobs and systems. but we we also make more new ones, which are effective and better paid.
we can we beacuse schools and educations make people, which make workers, which cant handle it.
the result also is tax, which finance that, hospitals, healtcae, medicine, wellfare and descent pensions.
that was not and is not a nato thing at all. it past past is ussr collapsed a whole empire with lack of vital reforms. im rather old. looking back ussr should have given gorbatev or jelsin the leadersship before ussr finally did.
thats my private perspective. i live well in the lower middleclass. soon i get a dedsent pension and many things well be free. i have worked many years and deserve that otium – long or short
zekensky and their parlament are wll elected. you are so incompentent still thinking the world is sitting ducks less clever then you.
and you are strictly forbidden to even mention the 1000s of russian lives, which goes too.
potin also has disconnected you hell and heaven, so the russian dead ones are in limbo.
and its he people. they decide there. its a un nation. some 141 countres in the world has asked yiur kind to retreat. you kill them and not him.
agreed man.
probably the most nato direct attack on crimea….for sure no ucronazi were involved on this attack
where is the nato exercise operating at the moment? is it romania?
our borders are there.
very strange if we instead were with bows and arrows in gb. that goes for poland as well.
time for russia to upgrade their s-400 missiles with kinetic htk technology. proximity fragmentation is not effective against ballistic missiles. that”s why pac-3 uses htk kinetic warheads.
russia can upgrade their current s-400 warheads to be htk.
” with the close-in support of the nato military” so then nato is a part of the conflict. ok well, then bomb their hubs across europe. dont be a coward.
russia lack of balls by not blowing up nato recon flights over black sea that provided ukraine and nato forces on the ground the coordinates of the crimea targets is the reason for this.
this shit will keep repeating until russia grow some pair of balls,
russia thinks it can make a deal while their enemies see this as weakness and they became very brazen. this is no longer about “protecting” ukraine they have openly stated that they want to destroy russia and ukropistan is their horde to weaken their capabilities because they strongly believe russia will not use nuclear weapons as they didn’t use them during the cold war. russia going from village to village is grinding them down while carpet bombing of kiev would be much more effective.
is it true that the head of nato defence got taken out, recently?
sorry not nato, but, ukraine?
from what i read they killed lieutenant general dmitry krasilnikov with the last attack on a hotel. not sure if he actually died. but, ukrop command sounded very angry so it must be someone important that lost his head.
cheers, there is rumour that syrskyi and budanov got taken out. however, they said similar about budanov a few months ago.
really? by being patient? nato goes for shock and awe, when they hit funeral parties. russia, gets what it wants without using emotional hysteria. not long before nato has nought left in its toybox.
do you suppose it’s likely to keep repeating once the failed ukrainian cia project can no longer field an army, a situation likely to occur sooner rather than later? gurble guk?
russia dont posses the black sea in are air and water.
there are conventions about it. its also open crossing nato turkey.
yes, because russia should take on the entirety of nato in open warfare instead of crushing their puppet army in the failed ukrainian cia project. the smart money is on fighting the empire and all of their european vassals at once. because s m r t. thanks for derping.
thats right.
it was a condition for making ukraine it could defend it itself. of course we help them against the invassing aggresion because of that mr and mrs moron.
russians got all their nukes to make felt safe safe.
and not nato. som 141 counties in un says russía should retreat. your destroy and whole country, which ruinded to the bone by your own system.
ei.. dormeau la ora aceea 3:40 am.
material loss is replaced, -done!
the west is still buying enough russian energy sources that the material destroyed by nato is paid for by the eu in less than 24 hours!
welcoming, but the american military shouldn’t complain of the russian army repercussions in the coming hours, we are watching and following very religiously
rus musí začať riešiť špionážne lety usa nad čiernym morom. pokým nezarazia tieto špionážne lety, tak takéto veci sa budú rusom stávať stále. to by už mohli pochopiť. uvidíme aká bude odpoveď. mala by byť rýchla a veľmi tvrdá. svetu mier!!!
try. they are we are not sitting ducks.
the black sea is ours too by turkey, bulgaria, roumania. moldova and parts of causasus too.
there are world agreement about air and see.
yes, you danepigs loves turks so much that are starting to look like them already. them gyspy roaches. and who gives a flying sourcer about those gypsy-stans you mentioned anyways?
have you heard of the montreux convention 1936? now why did turkey have to initiate it?
maybe russia needs to make sure that iran has the weapons it needs to ensure that us destroyers can be reliably sunk when hostilities flare up next time? russian zircons based in bandar abbas maybe, with russian crews and c3i? what goes around…
they will consider it, if not already done…
poor russian. leverage what you already have. nuke! you will bleed heavily in conventional war.
leverage what you already have stolen?
russia needs to hit nato assets because these are nato directed attacks.
why doesn’t the russian armed forces just eliminate the leadership in urkraine
good one.i always wondered so myself. instead of decapitating the head of the snake and flattening kiev, russia seems to be fighting this war back to front.
its kind of correct.
they only look in their own behinds and with no candles.
its very visble here. the russians hardly know´what going on in their own country and are forbidden to talk about it.
next they are lied all over whats going on in the rest of the world and fx most things are much better in most things in fx eu and usa.
i live here in denmark. is not perfect but we work for impromentments. we poor people were semilar to russia. and we will never to back.
oh dear lord. what kind of a degenerate you are? your land is already flat. it will be a crater if we hit it.
why make a martyre out zelinsky. allegedly, there is rumour they have taken out the head of defence, in one of there strikes.
none make a martyr.
but all wth a non erased memory see him as a vital improment to the better. that goes for the parlament even several important ones are highly corrupt.
not even can change minds in a whole country just like that. well communists and hitler did. i takes generations.
take hungary. they still want to back to hungary was big and great. they has learnet nothing from ww1 and ww2.
corners of poland, which now decide less is same thing. they have to live well with now planning the future. poles are more mature then hungary in those matters and some forget they have killed many temselves too.
that’s a clever joke, since the leadership is in washington. funny, funny stuff.
sure. kremlin not far away too.
probably a punishment for refusing to condemn the iranian attack on holy israel. the owners gave permission to the us troops to shortly get involved for a moment directly to show that the lack of worship towards the prescíous israel will not be tolerated by them.
co dělala ruská pvo? spala?
the only reason i can think of as to why russia has been soft on ukraine is that they know about plans of their enemies to invade russia and that they are saving the best for last. usa is trying to convince europeans countries to give all their aa to ukraine and won’t have any protection when the tables turn.
so the failed ukrainain cia project is just skating through the smo without a care in the world? never, ever stop derping.
rusian are raised to be permant soft.
who the heck want any part of russia. no wonder hitler tryed to kill so many.
you just use your oppions being attacked for agression. people dont attack too. you attack us.
thayts not a usa thing all. until thetzars left the whole europe were more or less open for each others and by kings and queens as well.
you take when we can buy cheep. you are totlly misinformed and lies too. in ussr with traded i lot with ukraine. hitler with stalin did too.
it seemes you has no acces to facts about it
clyde, he never said that they don’t have a care in the world, just that russia has been soft.
give the satanist western criminal eugenicists what they have earned: a complete mad response is now necessary for the russian federation to survive.
a nuclear war with the total destruction of the european continent is exactly what the americans want they will even provide all the weapons europhiles can afford to make sure this happens.

next time, i have already said this see them flying them drons over black sea, reapers whatever bullshit name is of those drons, shoot them down. show some courage 💪! they have desered it.
still obsessed with crimea hahahahaha….they’ll never have it. british bastids and ukrops are wasting their lives
it is a war of attrition and russia is weakening nato more and more the more time goes.
so russia is in no hurry to involve nato directly until it really has too.
the clown in kiev is doing a good job asking nato countries of their weapons and ammo!
remember when russia said if crimea was attacked, it would be a red line? lol russia, putin, when are you going to get real? you need to use nukes.
only heavy if you believe talibanned amerikan chihuahua is heavy🤡
sorry, of the six atacms that hit the area perhaps warehouses, whatever they hit, it wasn’t s300s or s400s as satellite photos have revealed.
no s-300/400 was hit, ukrainian posted a fake photo of 2 ukrainian s-300 launchers destroyed by russian iskander attack in the village of korotych in kharkov may 8 2022..
chinese linked spy…
looks like another shiny peremoga (false media victory) with no single proof except tg-page of hohlo-nazi “dosye_shpiona” with a photo of destroyed s-300ps system of kiev regime. why i’m so sure, because such peremoga is ordinary thing for nazis and their western sodomite masters as well as interception waves of missiles (ballistic and cruise) before.
