Strikes by the Ukrainian Defense Forces on objects on the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimean peninsula made it possible to disable more than half of the combat aircraft of the naval aviation of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia.

This is reported by the Reuters agency with reference to an unnamed Western official .

We are talking, in particular, about the explosions that rang out on August 9 at the Saka airbase near Novofedorivka, on the western coast of Crimea.

According to the interlocutor of the agency, Ukraine is now consistently achieving a “cumulative effect” deep in the rear of the occupying forces, significantly influencing the system of material and technical support and the psychological state of the enemy.

“We believe that more than half of the Black Sea Fleet’s naval aviation combat aircraft have been disabled,” the official said.

We will remind, according to the command of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian Nazis lost more than nine planes in Saki.

The 43rd separate naval assault aviation regiment of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia is based in Novofedorivka.
