Long-range drones from the SSU's Alpha Special Operations Centre struck two Su-27 aircraft at the Russian military airfield in Belbek in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the SSU press centre.
The aircraft was ready for combat
As noted, one of the aircraft was on the taxiway with a full combat load and was ready for combat flight. It was destroyed.
"The estimated cost of both aircraft is about $70 million," the statement said.
Destruction of the control tower confirmed
The destruction of the control tower has also been confirmed, which may complicate the organisation and control of flights at the airfield.
"This is the second successful attack by the SSU on Belbek airfield in recent days. On 18 December, the Service's drones struck Russian equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars at this airfield: two Nebo-SVU radars, a 92N6 radar from the S-400 Triumph air defence system, a Pantsir-S2 air defence system, and a MiG-31 aircraft with a full combat load," the SBU added.
The SBU's strikes on key military airfields, as well as the destruction of enemy aircraft and air defence systems in the temporarily occupied Crimea, significantly reduce its military potential in the region. This systematic work will continue in the future.
