Russia could lose a missile depot and dozens of military personnel.

As a result of a night attack on the airfield in Dzhankoy in the occupied Crimea, the occupiers suffered very significant losses, both in weapons and personnel.

As military expert Alexander Musienko reports , citing his sources, the strike destroyed a warehouse of Zircon and S-300 missiles.

In addition, the Crimean Wind TG channel , citing its sources, reports very significant losses among the occupiers’ personnel.

“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,” the message says.

It is also noted that, according to sources, surviving helicopters and planes are being transferred from the Dzhankoy airfield to the Kirov airfield.

Strike at Dzhankoy – what is known

On the night of April 17, local telegram channels reported explosions at the Dzhankoy airfield in occupied Crimea .

The 39th helicopter regiment of the 27th mixed aviation division of the 4th Air Force and Air Defense Command of the Southern Military District was located on the territory of this airfield. Also, presumably, three aviation squadrons were stationed there, flying the Mi-8, Mi-35M, Mi-28 and Ka-52.

At the same time, commenting on the results of the strike, the head of the Joint Press Center of the Southern Defense Forces, Natalya Gumenyuk, advised to wait for official information from the General Staff .

“We never hide the fact that combat work is going on. But we give verified results, ones that have already been clarified, verified and have official confirmation,” she said.
