This guy is quite an eloquent speaker. He refers to himself as Tkach which is fairly common last name, or could be a callsign, it literally means a worker at a textile factory. So, it goes like that: "Tkach was told there is no plastic explosive. Tkach said there are no problems that can't be solved. So Tkach found himself a tank and removed ERA from it, the tank isn't in working condition, but that's OK, FPVs will work just fine. So, bro, tell me how did I come up with this idea?" Second voice:"Your circumstances made you do it". Tkach:"Circumstances...That's our country forced us to steal ERA from a tank, but that's OK, God will forgive us". Add a dozen and a half random profanities in random places to really appreciate his speech. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: More footage of the fire in the area of the military airfield in Dzhankoy after the explosions According to Radio Liberty, “Dzhankoy” is an operating state airfield in Crimea, where the 39th helicopter regiment of the 27th mixed aviation division of the 4th Air Force and Air Defense Command of the Southern Military District and three aviation squadrons are stationed. https://t.me/astrapress/53445 Residents of Dzhankoy report new explosions, the fire in the area of the military airfield continues, there is no official information https://t.me/astrapress/53446 Residents of the Crimean Dzhankoy report powerful explosions in the sky above the city. Previously, the air defense system is working. As local residents told SHOT, several loud bangs were heard at around 4 a.m., the first at about 3:40. After this, according to eyewitnesses, a fire started in a field near the local airfield; its cause is unknown. There has been no official information yet. https://t.me/shot_shot/65080 Twitter video

Public reports report night arrivals at the military airfield in Dzhankoy Russian telegram channels report that the strike could have been double - ballistics (ATACMS) and Storm Shadow air missiles. There are no official comments yet. https://t.me/chp_simferopol/21048 For what it's worth. The enemy has minus air defense batteries, helicopters and more: the attack on Dzhankoy was an operation of the Security Service of Ukraine and the Main Intelligence Directorate, they were hit with modernized weapons – sources The strikes on the military airfield in Dzhankoi in the temporarily occupied Crimea were probably a joint operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense. After the attack, there were two waves of detonation, the consequences of damage by modernized weapons are currently being clarified. It is preliminarily known that three air defense batteries, several helicopters, a ammunition depot and other "fat" targets were destroyed at the airport. That's what OBOZ. UA learned from its own sources. According to our sources, the strike on the airfield in Dzhankoy was carried out with modernized Soviet weapons. This came as a surprise to the Russian occupiers, so the consequences and scale of the damage, according to preliminary data, became significant. Sources note that it is highly likely that three air defense batteries located on the territory of the Dzhankoi airfield were destroyed as a result of the strike. The invaders could also lose several helicopters, a fuel tank, an ammunition depot, two radar stations, one electronic warfare/rec station and a launcher of the Bastion coastal missile system. On the night of April 17, explosions rang out in Dzhankoy: locals began to report that a powerful fire broke out in the area of the military airfield. Meanwhile, Russian propagandists began to write that "grass is burning in the field." As you know, the 39th Helicopter Regiment of the 27th Mixed Aviation Division of the 4th Air Force and Air Defense Command of the Southern Military District of the Russian Federation, three aviation squadrons on Mi-8, Mi-35M, Mi-28, Ka-52 are stationed at the military air base near Dzhankoi. Helicopters of the Border Guard Service of the FSB of the Russian Federation are also stationed there. https://war.obozrevatel.com/ukr/u-voroga-minus-batarei-ppo-vertoloti-i-ne-tilki-udar-po-dzhankoyu-buv-operatsieyu-sbu-i-gur-bili-modernizovanoyu-zbroeyu-dzherela.htm ❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Regarding the missile strike on Dzhankoi Last night, the AFU launched an attack on the airfield in Dzhankoi. Around 12 ATACMS operational-tactical missiles were utilized for the strike, likely originating from the Kherson region. ▪️ The assault was executed in two phases. The initial strike involved seven missiles, seemingly equipped with cluster warheads, while the second wave deployed at least five. Some equipment at the airfield sustained damage, along with one of the buildings. ▪️ The attack could have employed both MGM-140A with a range of up to 165 km and MGM-140B with a combat radius of 300 km. By launching from the outskirts of Kherson, the AFU can easily reach Dzhankoi, even with the initial versions of ATACMS. ❗️Similar to previous strikes, an American RQ-4B drone freely patrolled the airspace south of Crimea, overseeing the operation. However, even in its absence, the adversary obtained the necessary information. Clear footage of the attacks is available on the Internet, thanks to the actions of pro-Ukrainian residents of the city, as well as some minors. The question remains as to why residents of Russian Crimea are seemingly untroubled by the repercussions of such actions. The lack of concrete punitive measures hampers the apprehension and prosecution of such individuals, thereby endangering our military personnel. 🔻Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces are actively preparing for larger-scale assaults on the peninsula. A few days ago, there was an unsuccessful attempt to target the control point in Berdiansk, followed by today's attack on the airfield. The objective is clear. Disrupt the coordination of our units by neutralizing command posts and causing significant damage to air defense forces. Achieving these dual aims, particularly with the fleet already weakened, is crucial for the AFU before targeting the Crimean Bridge. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLWwWfoWMAAxB2B?format=jpg&name=4096x4096
To my knowledge, far from confirmed. But this was an early rumor. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLWCI-uXkAADkso?format=jpg&name=360x360
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLWIAHJXUAAiw4Q?format=jpg&name=medium
This all looks very promising.

However, there are currently no official confirmations. https://t.me/RBC_ua_news/92187 ⚡️According to our sources, about 30 Russian servicemen were killed and about 80 were wounded at the airfield in Dzhankoy. Due to the lack of sufficient beds in the Dzhankoy hospital, the wounded are transported by helicopter to Sevastopol for placement in the 1472 VMKG. https://t.me/Crimeanwind/57802 |
