Strike on Crimea’s Saki Airfield: Ukrainian Forces Hit Hangars Housing Russian Su-30 Fighters.

Airfield Under Attack

According to Novyny.live: Ukrainian defenders launched a strike on the occupied Saki military airfield in Crimea, damaging hangars that contained Russian fighter jets and sparking a fire. Reports confirm five drone impacts on the hangars. At the time of the assault, two hangars held Su-30 and Su-30SM fighters, each valued between 30 and 50 million US dollars.

Blaze Erupts in Hangar

The attack on the Saki airfield caused significant destruction and ignited a fire in hangars where military aircraft were stored. The successful drone strikes underscore the effectiveness of the operation, which could severely hinder the occupying forces’ ability to conduct aerial operations in the region.

Previous Strikes

Earlier, a railway bridge near Ichoka was confirmed as hit. This bridge is part of the Dzhankoy–Vladyslavivka–Kerch rail corridor, and its damage will complicate logistics for occupying troops. This reflects a deliberate Ukrainian strategy to disrupt enemy supply routes in the area.

These successful attacks on military targets in occupied territory are likely to degrade Russian combat readiness and complicate their operations. Given the strategic importance of the Saki airfield, the strike may have inflicted not only material losses but also damaged the morale of occupying forces, who continue to suffer equipment setbacks. Targeting key logistics nodes like the railway bridge further demonstrates Ukraine’s focus on choking off enemy resource supplies.
