Russia continues to pay a high cost in troops and equipment during its full-scale invasion, according to Kyiv, the recent figures of which outline losses of several dozen artillery systems—as well as two warplanes.
Sunday's update by Ukraine's military noted how two aircraft had been among the equipment losses Russia had suffered over the previous day.
This followed what Ukraine's General Staff said was a drone strike on the Morozovsk airfield, a Russian military base in the Rostov region near the Ukrainian border, which is home to Sukhoi Su-27 and Su-34 glide bombers.
Kyiv said that the strikes hit warehouses filled with ammunition, including those hosting guided aerial bombs which Moscow has used on Ukraine for months.

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said footage of secondary explosions near the airfield was consistent with strikes against an ammunition depot. Without specifying which ones in its figures, Ukraine said that Russia had lost two planes that day, taking the total aircraft losses for the war to 365.
In July, Ukrainian drones had hit the same military airfield with footage on social media showing smoke rising above the site.

Misplaced them?

I didn’t know Joe Isuzu worked for the Ukrainian government lol. And it gets 89 miles per gallon!
Fake news. Russia is stupid, but they aren’t that stupid.
How’s the weather in Europe?
They aren't stupid enough to get bogged down in a war of attrition invading their neighbors at a time when drones make offensive military operations extremely costly? See, I think they are that stupid.
according to Kyiv
No one believes anything coming out of Kyiv.
A recession is coming.
Iran is going to attack in the next 24 hours.
The stock market is crashing.
Crypto is crashing.
Donald Trump was almost assassinated 3 weeks ago.
Our border is open.
And you live in Europe.
And you're on Iran's side. The pro-Mullah faction of FR speaks.
Why would an American take foreign policy advice from someone living in Europe?
Prisoners-the Russian ones. I’d release them one at a time. Release them to their moms after a 20 mike walk to the remote holding center. Make sure the Russian cameras are rolling.
sweet! now take out all of Russia oil related infrastructure!
Now there's a reputable source. Send more money.
Well yes that is horrific losses.
Yet it’s sort of pointless without comparing to the Ukrainians losses.
Sort of like the old commercial “buy brand X ITS BETTER!!!”. Better than what?
Earlier this morning, I had one of them trying to sell me on the notion that the two Ukie Effed-16 pilots that aren't drunk constituted the core of an unstoppable new NATO air wing in Ukraine.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST! ALERT!

Russian cities look normal to me. Ukrainian cities look like Germany in 1945.
