The strike of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the airfield in Novofedorivka became a serious slap in the face for the occupying aviation/Photo from Facebook by Anton Pavlushko
Novofedorovka. It is very interesting. Went “bavovna” in the occupied Crimea. What is interesting is that ours began to work at a military airfield, located just on the seashore. There (was or is there still?) the 43rd Aviation Regiment of Russians.

What was it
The long-awaited ATACMS? May be. And it would be logical that the Russians first need to burn down all the bases with equipment, where they are heaped, and only then take on the Kerch bridge.
The range from the Odessa region is just 260 – 300 kilometers. Or a drone? Here, for example, a conditional “Bayraktar” in one direction could take off so far. Yes, they need control from a ground station every 150 kilometers. Maybe somewhere on the way to the target it was transferred to the control station installed on the boat? Or just scored a goal and rushed off? Remember how some Ukrainian drones burned down an oil refinery in the Rostov region.
It is also interesting that the other day the Russians burned out part of the air defense in the Kherson region, perhaps, in order to restore it, part of the equipment had to be quickly transferred from the Crimea, which was what our people were waiting for.
Well, in general, from a series of fantasy. 300 kilometers is the declared range of the Neptune. The airfield is on the coast itself, from the coast to the airfield – 500 meters in a straight line. Instead of a ship, the missile captures the brightest target – a locator or something like that. Further, as luck would have it. It is not necessary to bypass obstacles – in order to fly. One way or another, something flew in and demilitarized some of the Russians and their equipment. Congratulations to Crimea on its debut.
No one will fly anywhere anymore
Soon Maxar will publish pictures of the ashes in Novofedorovka, where we will guess the types of aircraft that were burned by the explosions by the black ashes.
< p class="bloquote cke-markup">Now the Russian army has one less aviation regiment, but one more infantry regiment. And this is a real tragedy for all the surviving officers – what and where to fly now? Quiet attractive rear airfield near the sea turned into a pile of rubble.
It was there, on the Nita, that Russian pilots trained to fly from aircraft carriers. They were worn with that airfield, as with a hand-written bag. But its importance was exaggerated, because in a serious war all this is burned out with one blow.
No training ramp – no experienced pilots for aircraft carriers. And the only aircraft carrier has been under repair for years. You can safely close this airbase, and upon returning to Ukraine, the city will calmly become an ordinary resort.
