October 17, 2023 – Translated from Ukrainian via Google and OFP


As a result of the attack of the Defense Forces on airfields in temporarily occupied Berdyansk and Lugansk on the night of October 17, the occupiers suffered significant losses. Thus, a new video with explosions at an airfield recently appeared on the Internet.
The corresponding footage was posted on the Telegram channel “war_monitor”. Judging by the video, after the attack the Russian ammunition depot detonated and was additionally targeted by helicopters.
It should be noted that the Ukrainian Defense Forces, in cooperation with the Special Operations Forces, attacked airfields located in temporarily occupied Berdyansk and Lugansk. Thus, as part of Operation DRAGONFLY, 9 Russian helicopters were effectively eliminated.
Important military equipment was also neutralized, in particular an air defense launcher and ammunition depots, and airfield runways were damaged. Moreover, the enemy suffered losses among its troops, including dead and wounded. As a result of the attack by Ukrainian forces, the ammunition depot in Berdyansk detonated before 4 a.m., and in Lugansk before 11 a.m.
As noted earlier, the occupiers placed their aircraft very densely in Berdyansk. It was from this airfield that enemy helicopters and aircraft primarily took off to attack Ukrainian soldiers in the combat zone.
Another video with footage of the “bavovna” in Berdyansk appeared on the Telegram channel “Nikolaevsky Vanyok”.

Let us remind you that in the early morning of October 17, it became known that the Ukrainian Armed Forces hit the occupiers’ helicopters and the equipment of airfields near Lugansk and Berdyansk. After the arrivals, local residents heard a prolonged detonation.
Also, the speaker of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Yuriy Ignat, explained why the strike is important. According to him, attacking airfields with helicopters is extremely important, because with the help of this technology the enemy is actively working along the front line. In particular, the occupiers, using helicopters, can launch anti-tank guided missiles to destroy military equipment of Ukrainian forces.

Wonderful!
I like a good firework display.
Awesome! 🇺🇦👍
I can’t watch the video, it says media too big. I’m on an octacore 4ghz???
It’s a normal warning with Telegram, I never watch anything on there.
Maybe Telegram is blocked in Germany.
I don’t know, but I get the same message in Holland.
It wasn’t when I was there.
Try opening it incognito.
That’s weird. Do you still have Win XP?
No i’m on the latest version of Android.
Maybe it’s better to use a pc.
I don’t have a pc no more.
Only “small”/”short” (as decided by Telegram) videos may be viewed by someone not logged in to Telegram. Meaning if you don’t have an account, you can’t watch long videos.
Telegram is infested with putinists, i will never create an account there.
Me neither, I don’t trust anything owned by a russian.
Mike, there are some very cool Ukrainian channels on there, too.
But, I downloaded the video directly from Obozrevatel. I don’t get it what Telegram has to do with this.
There is a link to a Telegram video in the article, I think Mike must have tried opening that. The Obozrevatel video works fine.
That must be the problem. But; I still don’t understand why Telegram gives you guys problems. It never does for me whenever I’m in Germany, Poland, or in Ukraine.
I think the problem is that we don’t have a Telegram account, and some videos can only be viewed if you are logged in.
Hmm… I’m no pc or android expert. I don’t know why the videos won’t play on your phone. I just tried it on my phone and they work perfectly. I also have android.
Are you in the US or Europe?
US.
That seems to be the problem. Europe is not free, the US is. 😉
Maybe that’s the problem…
I’m using a Chromebook.
Cool. My books are still made of paper.
Mine are pdf, cbr, cbz. Cheers! 😁
I had that issue too Mike, I think I opened an incognito page and it worked.
Now the Kerch Bridge…………………………
Put me in charge and i’ll give the invaders hell!
