According to military expert Oleksandr Musienko, citing his sources, the storage of Zircon and S-300 missiles was destroyed.

In addition, the Crimean Wind Telegram 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 Dzhankoya airfield. Due to the lack of a sufficient number of places in the Dzhankoy hospital, the wounded are being transported by helicopters to Sevastopol for placement in 1472 VMCH, the message says.

The Russian public and the OSINT community published the first photos of the probable consequences of the night strike on the Dzhankoi military airfield in Crimea.

Previously, three S-400 launchers, one S-400 radar station, and two S-300 launchers were destroyed or critically damaged, as well as a warehouse with ammunition for these missile systems.

The Russians claim that an MGM-140 ATACMS missile hit the base and publish photos of the wreckage.

It is also noted that, according to sources, surviving helicopters and aircraft are being transferred from the Dzhankoi airfield to the Kirovske airfield.
