Ukraine hits russian jets in their Crimean shelters!

Russia spent real money building hardened aircraft shelters at Saky airbase in occupied Crimea to protect its Su-30SM jets from Ukrainian drone strikes, and on July 3rd, Ukraine hit six of the seven of them, blowing the doors off four and leaving them on the taxiway in satellite imagery Russia would prefer wasn’t public.
