Plumes of black smoke were seen on Tuesday at a Russian military airbase near the settlement of Gvardeyskoye in the centre of Russian-controlled Crimea, Russia’s Kommersant newspaper reported.

Earlier on Tuesday, Russia’s Defence Ministry separately blamed a series of explosions around Dzhankoi in northern Crimea on “sabotage”, state-owned news agency RIA reported.

Ukraine has neither confirmed nor denied its involvement in a recent series of blasts in Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014.

12 Su-27/35s (a full squadron!), 4 Su-24s, and 2 Su-25s, all lined up in a row, like General Walter Short’s Army aircraft at Hickam Field, just waiting to be strafed and bombed.

Range of Thunder-2 reported to be ~170 miles. 235.83km=146.5 miles. Move your map point more toward the Odessa Oblast around Yuzhne or slightly east of that. This avoids Orc air cover’s expected directions of attack. May be reason they moved in S-350 systems at Taganrog air base.

These airfields usually do not have hardened hangers and even bunkers. The aircraft during frequent operations are armed, fueled and serviced in the open. They are incredibly vulnerable to even rudimentary drones guided by “google maps”.

60% of Crimea now cut off from Russia by rail.

S-350s will be a tempting target for HARMs.

A HIMARs attack with preemptive HARMs would be a pretty sight.

Morning Cotton [bombing] in BC warehouses in Crimea. The morning started very warm, I like how it burns, explodes.

We are waiting for new statements from the fascists that someone violated the fire safety rules there...

Soon a Pooty Pal troll named fieldmarshaldj will show up with a picture of Soros, trying to turn you against support of Ukraine. fmdj joined FR in 2001, and only recently started pro putin/Russia comments at Ukraine posts. Must have been pulled out of mothballs since other trolls have already been outed and a least one has disappeared.
