Satellite images of the consequences of a missile attack on Belbek airfield in Crimea.




“Two MiG-31s and one Su-27 were completely destroyed, and the MiG-29 was damaged.
A fuel depot next to the main runway was also destroyed, and the wreckage continues to burn,” writes New York Times investigative Christian Triebert.
Joseph Trevithick (The War Zone) published new Planet Labs satellite images of the Belbek airfield in occupied Crimea. Based on them, it is possible that two MiG-31 fighters were destroyed, as well as an aviation fuel tank for refueling them. Previously, the media also published photos of the results of a strike on the S-400 air defense system covering the airfield – judging by it, the radar was destroyed, although the launchers could also have been damaged. Trevithick notes that because the strikes were carried out by missiles with cluster warheads, the damage could be greater than what is visible in the images.
