Some consequences of an explosion at an ammunition depot in the Dzhankoy region of Crimea

Explosions at a site for temporary storage of ammunition at one of the military units in the Maiskoye area in the Dzhankoysky district of Crimea damaged the railway. This was announced by the head of the republic Sergey Aksenov in his TG channel.

As a result of two fires at once at an electrical substation and a warehouse for temporary storage of ammunition in the Dzhankoysky district of the Republic of Crimea, a section of the railway was damaged, and train traffic was suspended. The authorities of the republic have decided to stop all passenger trains coming to the peninsula from the mainland at the Vladislavovka station, from where they will deliver passengers by bus to their destination.

About two thousand people were evacuated from the zone of possible destruction, these are residents of the villages of Azov and Maiskoye, they were temporarily placed in neighboring villages. There are damages to houses in the villages themselves. As Aksyonov explained, all restoration work will be carried out at the expense of the reserve fund of the republic.

At the moment, it is known about two victims, one of whom was hospitalized, the second was treated on an outpatient basis.

Currently, single explosions are heard in the area of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbthe settlement Mayskoye, the cordon has not been removed. The Ministry of Defense is taking measures to extinguish the fire and find out the cause of the fire.

On August 06, at about 15:XNUMX Moscow time (...), a fire broke out on the territory of a bunded temporary ammunition storage area of ​​one of the military units

- it is spoken in the message of military department.

What to do and who is to blame

[skeptick2]

Who is to blame - I said in a comment on the previous news. A clear stump is another slob who dropped another cigarette butt.

Who is to blame - I said in a comment on the previous news. A clear stump is another slob who dropped another cigarette butt.

I wonder how many grams of TNT the cigarette butt pulled

[Sergey3]

I'm more interested in how many kilometers this cigarette butt flew? How far is it to Hungary?

[Shurik70]

It's most likely local. Nothing prevented the Mavik from hanging a lemon tree like at the front and letting it go.

[Aaron Zawi]

There was a lot of ammunition there.

[Sergey3]

There is a lot, but why did the transformer explode with a clear air lens of the blast wave? For a transformer, the conciliator is very much overkill. I am waiting for a satellite photo from non-partners, presumably there is a crater on the site of the transformer of the substation, like from an ammunition depot!

The fragments hit the transformer and caused a fire.

[Alemax]

The transformer, with all the desire, cannot be smashed by fragments. If there really is a funnel. Electricity, of course, effectively bangs when shorted, but not so much.

War is war, anything can happen, although this does not justify cases of sloppiness

Ahh... Games are good. Especially desktop, I love since childhood. But I don’t remember that during such games something exploded in my kitchen. And not just once.

[dedusik]

Well, so am I about the same
PS Although not everyone understands my sarcasm

[skeptick2]

I have a good sense of humor. Perhaps that is why some of the official humor just do not understand.

Well, it looks like you just don’t have an air conditioner at home!

[ABC-schutze]

At 6.00:XNUMX a.m., there is usually a change of sentries. The one who breeds "with a shift", leaves a new sentry, - "takes away" the old one.

The new one (from the "rested" shift), without really waking up, and "looking around" in the fresh air, as usual, takes out a cigarette "slowly puffs on it." Around (and on the ramparts) dry grass. And it's good if it's "beveled" ...

[aglet]

"takes out a cigarette" takes a slow puff. "There is dry grass around (and on the ramparts)."
conduct an experiment - try to set fire to a bunch of grass with a cigarette butt. why is the grass dry? she is green in full growth - summer is not winter

[ABC-schutze]

Yeah ...

It's a pity I didn't know all this when I was a bit younger. AND DURING THE FLIGHTS, having happened to be nearby, the fire of dry grass on the caponier, "jumping like a monkey" extinguished. What "under the arm" will fall ...

About the speed with which the flame is not OPEN space in the HEAT and SUNNY DAY, spreads (and the airfield is just such a "blown" space. Like the area around the "temporary" warehouses ...) I will keep silent ...

By the way, the "fire shield" at the entrance to the caponier is located. And for extinguishing "fire inside", it is mainly intended. And before him still "have time to run" it is necessary. Only for extinguishing the flame "scattering" over the area, he is a "weak helper."

Fire extinguisher "simple" - bullshit. A bucket of "sand" is garbage ... But the "foam" on the cart still needs to be "dragged". And drag to the inflamed slope ...

Everyone who "got under the arm" had to "run in a crowd" on the caponier, as if jumping over a burning frying pan (through "non-special" shoes, you know, it burns unbearably) the flame "tramples". Down to the knees, through the tops ...

And with what "there is on oneself and nearby", to hammer and close the flame ...

Extinguished. True, the "reason" was never found ...

[ABC-schutze]

By the way, I’m clarifying now, chasing the picture in my memory. It was a TECH hangar, not a "caponier" ...

[aglet]

"They extinguished it. True, the" reasons "were not found ..."
so I tell you, conduct an experiment, set fire to a bunch of grass with a cigarette butt. and I had to put out the hebe fires, but it didn’t catch fire on its own - according to the conditions of the exercises, the machine gun was designated by a red rocket. around is a wheat field, it blazed from a rocket. well, the wind was weak. and, as far as I remember, at the flammable post (gsm, rav), outside the border of the post, there was such a glazed box in which the breeder put cigarettes and matches taken from the sentry. after the change, they returned. now is not it?

You don't need a bundle. Just throw your cigarette butt into the dry grass.

Quote: aglet

why is the grass dry? she is green in full growth - summer is not winter

Summer, yeah

That's why the weather is so dry.

But why grass grows where there is something explosive - yes, the question is. No one has canceled a tractor with a plow and a harrow, as it were.

[Al manah]

There is no green grass in the Crimea in summer, it dries up at the end of June. local specifics.

[Sergey3]

Did you guard the watch transformer? The campaign needs to be limited by the army's power of shag in kilotons, otherwise the transformers then go into space orbit.

[Taimen]

What a big transformer box (according to the previous article). Already the railway was damaged. Or again, the bastard switchman is to blame. Send a reptile over the hill like Chubais and give money for the road.

Quote: SaLaR

What to do and who is to blame

All the same, the country's leadership needs to prioritize. Either write well-adjusted speeches at forums and rallies (also necessary), or come to grips with ensuring the security of storage sites for much-needed ammunition now.
Tired of this laxity in many industries.

[AdAstra]

Come on??? It's strange that after your comment it didn't snow on the street

[frog]

So, maybe Varneka Bay? Or is it Dixon?

Do you even understand what I mean?

H.z., I thought so
It's just that in the aforementioned places there is "laxity" all summer. Maybe the author is from there?

Again, of course...

maybe not even the most wide-spread dill crawled from Kyiv to the Crimea, no one can know for sure, only guesses
one thing is clear that this is not the arrival of a rocket

[UAZ 452]

Why waste missiles where you can use a toy quadcopter, or even just pay a couple of hundred thousand to a local ensign, for example, who transferred to the Russian Armed Forces from the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the Crimean spring?

[DrtFd]

well, the local warrant officer will then be carried out feet first, not a single stupid person will do this
but with the help of a quadrocopter, you can

[Alemax]

Oleg Kryuchkov, adviser to the head of Crimea on information policy, urged the public to wait for official information on the fact of the appearance of black smoke over a military base located in the village of Gvardeiskoye, Simferopol region.

13:30 MK

... There are too many ensigns. Don't find?

[Sergey3]

And how did the transformer jerk off from the quadrocopter with the formation of an air lens of the shock wave, as from the impact of the sun?

[AdAstra]

Well, Duc, for the last, at least two years, everything has been with the prefix "self-".

[Viktor29]

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has already recognized that the substation and the undermining of the rail of the railway track were a sabotage;

[Zaurbek]

With the current video surveillance and billing of cellular networks, such cases should be solved fairly quickly.

[Nyrobsky]

Quote: Zaurbek

With the current video surveillance and billing of cellular networks, such cases should be solved fairly quickly.

Unfortunately, the use of these technologies in relation to quadrocopters is not productive, and the likelihood that this stray could be used in this case is very high, which is confirmed by the case of the use of a quadrocopter in Sevastopol during a terrorist attack on the day of the Navy, when 6 people were injured. According to some reports, the drone was launched from the territory of the city, and, therefore, the performers somewhere out there poked around and, to the best of their ability, crap in relation to military facilities.

[Chronos]

City surveillance systems can help determine the location of the drone launch. Then you can see which phones are lit up there. And find eyewitnesses. At the same time, the drone itself is being worked out - where it was manufactured and purchased. So, thread by thread, the ball unwinds.

[Nyrobsky]

I think that now, specially trained people are dealing with this issue in detail and I have no doubt that they will unwind it over time. Those who, to the best of their ability, are trying to spoil us, sooner or later, will make a mistake and burn out.

[Flooding]

The Ministry of Defense is taking measures to extinguish the fire and find out the cause of the fire.

Like it or not, you'll have to shake up the upper room. composition, to separate the wheat from the chaff.
How much to endure unjustified losses?

[UAZ 452]

Yes ... “We don’t give offense to our own” is not always good, for carelessness and unprofessionalism you need to ask from “our own” to the fullest, otherwise the system, which is artificially prevented from getting rid of frankly weak links, collapses completely, with a bang and a roar .

[DrtFd]

Why did they give a quadrocopter a mess, it can fly 3 km. dropped dynamite or a grenade and everything flew off from this, and here the high command

so to spoil with the help of quadrocopters, by the way, this is a complete PPC, because in the open air right now it turns out that you can’t store anything at all, and you can’t get enough of closed warehouses for everyone

[Flooding]

Quote: Drt Fd

Why did they give a quadrocopter a mess, it can fly 3 km. dropped dynamite or a grenade and everything flew off from this, and here the high command

Probably, despite the fact that the head is responsible for the object entrusted to him.
And if this object is an ammunition depot located not far from a residential area, and at this time military operations are underway in adjacent territories, then the demand from those responsible for security is doubly.
The appearance of a UAV on sale does not cancel the adoption of measures to ensure the safety of the warehouse.

And at the same time share, how did you know the reason for what happened?

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

and when "some consequences" will be at least initiated criminal cases under the article treason

[cmax]

I don't even want to comment. Just wondering if the Crimean Bridge will withstand it, or some conscript with a cigarette too!

[Siberia55]

Yes. It will catch fire and detonate itself. From a high wave. Exactly

[flicker]

Is it an accident or not that the explosions occur at the "bundled temporary ammunition storage site"?

[Saboteur_Navy]

I won’t comment on what happened there because I don’t know the details, but let me remind you that the depth and even tactical reconnaissance are taught to destroy military bases, the most effective means for striking in such cases are mortars, this of course does not exclude the possibility that both anti-tank missiles and UAVs, and barrage charges, and quadrocopters, and recoilless guns and even rocket launchers ... But it is impossible to detect a mortar and guess the direction from where they are hitting, and it has no obstacles in the form of buildings. A mortar is a very effective and terrible weapon, very convenient, most beloved at the scouts!
For those who are especially gifted, let me remind you that an experimental crew does not need zeroing at all, you can make a calculation either by coordinates on a map or even using a smartphone, the mortar has a guidance system, and even a satellite guidance system. and then recently a particularly gifted person here told me about the need for shooting.
Yes, and I have a suspicion that the intelligence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the SBU still leaving made caches there, including with mortars, and organized undercover and intelligence activities, this is a standard course, like even in the first year of any educational institution in any country in the world, nothing complicated there isn't
I am also frightened by migrants transferred to the interior of Russia, and among them there were many men of military age and older, I hope they are under the control of the district police at least and do not ride all over Russia ...

[SaLaR]

Hope..............

[Saboteur_Navy]

Can you calm...

[Saboteur_Navy]

It is necessary to organize something similar in western Ukraine with our intelligence depth ... and it is convenient to conduct raid operations there, there are even mountains with forests and caves, Kovpak will not let you lie!

[SaLaR]

What are you.. It's not our way...

[saigon]

Did you deign to joke about precinct officers and supervision?
The district police officer had time to scribble all the reports in one hundred or two hundred forms and different dates. Alas.

[frog]

Well, the author can imagine the activities of today’s precinct policeman in the cartoon about Uncle Styopa ...... And, essno, don’t even assume that the same police station can be one for 3 districts ...

[Saboteur_Navy]

No, in my opinion, there are two of them, both have good foreign cars, their relatives have the best outlets where there is a huge cross

[frog]

Then what's the point of asking?))) The answer is obvious to you, and, unfortunately, not only to you. We have "departed" for, sorry, pedophilia, the neglected ride, and you are talking about migrants .....

[Saboteur_Navy]

Well, I don't know what's better? I would have done this - I would have compiled file cabinets for all migrants, assigned them to certain areas and transferred control over the peasants to the district police officers, so that when, for example, they want to leave, they would inform the district police officer and, most importantly, where and why? Other mechanisms simply will not work.

[Dikson]

This is a utopia .. unfortunately .. not the time .. Letters to the prosecutor's offices and courts will begin regarding the infringement of the constitutional rights of citizens, some other democracy .. The authorities will not agree to this ..

[Saboteur_Navy]

Amendments to the law can be adopted

[AdAstra]

Well, yes, all hope is on the district police officers, who are already sewn up and who are understaffed.

[RMT]

Under the control of the precinct... Are you kidding?

[TatarinSSSR]

Shary:

Explosions were not only in the Dzhankoy region.
According to my information, a warehouse in the village of Gvardeisky, Simferopol region, was also shelled.
Reportedly, a small-sized UAV worked.
As he wrote in the first "red line crossings" - these are local groups to whom equipment is being shipped.

[Vadim237]

Well, here’s a serena for the Ministry of Defense that in order to protect warehouses from drones, it is necessary to introduce laser and cannon systems operating in an automated mode 24 by 7 - and the creation of a no-fly zone for all drones around military bases within a radius of several kilometers.

[fighter angel]

Isn't it time to draw conclusions and make personnel decisions on the Crimean branch of the "office"?
Third incident in less than a month.
Well, the Bander underground in the Crimea has sprouted and has already taken root against the backdrop of an influx of vacationers.
Cleaning is needed and a grandiose cleaning, in the best traditions of the Soviet SMERSH.

[grigor727]

Death to Spies!

[Corrosion inhibitor]

Look for traces of high technology before it's too late...
You need to look not at the place of application, not where it exploded. If I understand everything correctly. I hope I'm not alone.

[thrush68]

It seems that the people responsible for the protection of objects are simply sleeping. Or, like everywhere else, no one is responsible for anything.

[Simple]

Of the ten thousand recruits from Ukraine that the UK plans to train, the SAS will find a couple of hundred suitable candidates for sabotage activities.
All the explosions taking place on the territory of Russia "by negligence" are only the beginning.

[Voronezh]

Here it’s probably impossible to write off spontaneous combustion. They cannot prevent it; at least, it is necessary to greatly reduce the amount stored at one site. Peacetime rules need to be changed.

[Yellow bubble]

Diversion!!!

[Vadim237]

Along the way, the saboteurs again used copters with explosives.

[flicker]

We are at war with a very insidious enemy (the collective West). We cannot help but fight, because the enemy intends to destroy us. So we need to get used to such situations and of course not allow them.
Military action always incurs costs. We will be angrier on the enemy.

[Corrosion inhibitor]

I repeat, look for traces of high technology before it's too late. You need to look not at the place of application.

[huntsman650]

In pursuit of profit, the holiday season was combined with NWO. Remember the words of Comrade Aksenov, come, we are safe. Pull the mesh over the warehouses and everything, nothing will fall from above. Mother laziness is the trouble of all troubles.

[donavi49]

Here is the area where the ammunition is exploding now. I wonder how many secret CIA satellites are needed to reconnoiter this object and find vulnerabilities? And yes, I see a week. As with the location of the Musicians - they worked out the video and hit.

[Paul Siebert]

War correspondent Kitten on the latest events in the Crimea:
Somehow the numerous television and telegram threats were forgotten, the essence of which was that “hit the Crimea - we will destroy the decision-making centers.” Some even promised Ukraine "Judgment Day". As a result, explosions rumble in the Crimea, but no one talks about the answer.

I personally don't like the situation. Official comments are about "detonation" and "ignition". How long such “battles with cigarette butts” will continue at military facilities is unknown. Are we afraid to call what is happening by its proper name? In the meantime, saboteurs are being caught in Crimea and trains are being stopped in the very center of the peninsula due to the detonation of ammunition.

Other channels, for example, including the popular, as it were, anti-Bandera A. Shariy, who at one time even “shaked hands” on the Rossiya TV channel, write that UAVs are attacking military facilities near Simferopol.

If this is true, if today's explosions in Mayskoye and the recent events in Novofedorovka are really the work of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or saboteurs supervised by Kyiv, then this can and should be discussed.

The loss of warehouses in a war with a smart and well-equipped enemy, behind whose back the entire West is not something to be ashamed of, denying with all your might. In this situation, it is, oddly enough, possible, and such losses are acceptable.

But then the question arises of verbal threats, which cause more and more irritation, acquiring an openly mocking look. And here, too, you need to choose - either we implement them, or we stop repeating them at any opportunity. "Do not talk!" Do you remember the WWII poster?

[HUNTERDON]

Already in the news, fresh news, the Ministry of Defense admitted the fact of sabotage at the warehouse for temporary storage of ammunition.

[Chronos]

Quote: HUNTERDON

Already in the news, fresh news, the Ministry of Defense admitted the fact of sabotage at the warehouse for temporary storage of ammunition.

It hasn't even been six months. Now it's up to the main thing - to find saboteurs.

[UAZ 452]

The main thing is to prevent repeated sabotage. Do you think there were only such "warehouses" with ammunition piled up at random? But the elimination of saboteurs, even after the successful completion of the mission, is mandatory. Then, for the next sabotage, the SBU will have to look for suicide bombers, and this is more difficult than for fame, honor and good money to find performers for a combat mission with a very moderate (after all, the previous saboteurs calmly left after the explosion) risk.

[Chronos]

Yes, they didn't go anywhere. Pretty sure it's the same group.

[UAZ 452]

Do you think there was only one drone operator in all of Ukraine who could not miss such a target as a bunch of boxes of ammunition? Still, I do not rule out that there were as many as two, or even a few more.

[Chronos]

What difference does it make how many there are in Ukraine? They need to be transferred to the Crimea, and so that they do not immediately burn out. As it began with the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet, plus or minus a week continues. All in favor of the version that this is one DRG that has recently appeared in the Crimea. The only good thing is that with every act they leave more traces.

[UAZ 452]

They write that filtration on the border of the Kherson region and Crimea is absent as a phenomenon, so no matter how many such specialists there are in Ukraine, getting to Crimea is no problem for them at all.
PS Most likely, in the special services, as well as in the navy, those who were impressed by the idea of ​​​​resting in the service tried to get to Crimea, and it seems that many could not switch from resort psychology to front-line psychology in six months.

[Chronos]

In fact, there is a state border between the Kherson region and Crimea, which no one endured. If there is no filtration at the border control, then just spread your arms. In the Crimean FSB, a large percentage of former Sbushniks, under Yanukovych, Crimea was a place of exile for the security forces. And it's time for them to move away from the resort life. If they themselves cannot, let the comrades from the Lubyanka prompt.

[flicker]

Once again, we are forced to fight a very insidious and technologically strong enemy.

and therefore they must be prepared (at least psychologically - that is, do not howl and not whine, but treat this as the costs of war) for such explosions and at the same time they must, of course, do everything to make them as small as possible.

[Dikson]

Actually, there is nothing to comment on ... But the sediment, because this is just the beginning, for some reason is .. "Small bug, but stinky" ..- this is just about "toy" UAVs with explosives .. Why don't you cigarette butt? Again, you probably need to say "thank you" to your sworn "partners" .. - remember, not so long ago, Google opened all our military facilities on its maps .. - like it contributed to anti-Russian sanctions .. Yes, and there are plenty of detailed satellite images from the enemy .. Everything is at a glance..

[Dikson]

What, and here the minuser appeared? Another minus ..- in the next branch they write that something explodes at the airfield in Gvardeisky .. also "cigarette butt and sloppiness" probably ...

[Nexcom]

A military warehouse near the village of Dzhankoy was damaged due to sabotage. Such a statement on Tuesday, August 16, was made in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

"On the morning of August 16, as a result of sabotage, a military warehouse near the settlement of Dzhankoy was damaged," the Russian military department said in a statement.

The report clarifies that as a result of the incident, damage was caused to a number of civilian facilities, including a power plant, a railway track, a power line (power transmission line), "as well as a number of residential buildings." The ministries also noted that there were no serious injuries, and at the moment the necessary measures are being taken to eliminate the consequences of sabotage.

[Two]

We can congratulate our counterintelligence 3 failure in the Crimea (Fleet Headquarters, Aerodrome, now the warehouse is most likely with a traction substation). I think it is necessary to introduce the level of danger in the Belgorod region and finish with tourism in the Crimea until the SVO ends. Passport registration regime and so on .

[aglet]

"and finish with tourism in the Crimea until the end of the NWO."
what kind of tourism in dzhankoy? steppe naked

[Chronos]

"Yellow level", as in the Belgorod region in the Crimea, has long been introduced.

[vovochkarzhevsky]

Yes, outwardly it may look like sloppiness, only the trouble is that this is already systemic sloppiness.
If someone is not in the know, then among privates and sergeants. Yes, and junior officers too, there is a saying - the state pretends to pay us, and we pretend to serve.
Such is the sad irony. And the conclusions are even worse, a lot in the army is done on ... in short, to a minimum, without straining.
It would seem that what a beautiful idea was, a contract army, but what was the result? Our higher bureaucracy decided once again to deceive fate. Set salaries for contractors only higher than the average salary in the province. They say, where will the men go, there is still no work, they will go to serve. And yes, they go out of desperation. That's just the attitude to the service is appropriate, given what contingent often goes to the contract.
And if even in combat units they try to select the best, then it’s just a disaster with the rear and auxiliary units.
And our generals only understand one thing, the main thing is to give an order. But as for the material support for its implementation, no, they have not heard of such a thing. Let the subordinates themselves spin as best they can.
Hence such decisions, according to the principle - go here for now, then we'll figure it out.
Here is his Majesty's case. Maybe there was a sabotage, but if the ammunition is dumped directly at the railway track, then in the summertime a cigarette butt thrown from the window of a passing train will be enough.

[ada]

Quote: vovochkarzhevsky

... It would seem that what a beautiful idea was, a contract army, but what was the result? ...

You correctly noticed. The idea initially contained a number of negative factors, and the most disgusting of them is, in fact, a break in the fundamental condition for the construction of the Armed Forces of a socialist society, expressed by the well-known slogan: "The people and the Army are united!" For the bourgeois-capitalist society was unacceptable. Bourgeois armies are built according to other principles and they need a broad military coalition to conduct large-scale hostilities and financial dominance. There, the connection between the people and the army is required in exceptional cases, requiring the build-up of the armed forces and the economy, and they have this experience and working mechanisms, starting with the media.
In our country, in an attempt to get rid of the USSR, these opportunities have been lost or artificially reduced with a focus on sufficiency in relation to doctrinal threats. The approach to converting everything into money and playing with them is also important. With a large difference in the number of our population and a potential enemy, the presence of a huge territory and its sparsely populated in the absence of allies - a non-military population, turned off from the life of the army, a compact contract army will not save, no matter how you prepare it, organize it and fill it with money, which is obvious.
And the West, meanwhile, is relentlessly preparing for a war for resources, and while vacationers in Crimea are swimming, it is doing real work there.

[wladimirjankov]

The helplessness, sloppiness and irresponsibility of the leadership of the army, navy and security services in Crimea is simply off scale. And no one cares about this. How long will this continue? It just becomes ashamed and shameful for our army men and their command, looking at these "salutes".

Kommersant 16.08.2022, 12:46 updated 13:43:

Puffs of black smoke were visible above the military air base in the village of Gvardeiskoye, Simferopol region of Crimea, local residents report to Kommersant. According to citizens, earlier several explosions sounded on the territory of the military facility. Now in the vicinity of the air base, everything is calm.
According to Kommersant's source, military departments and law enforcement agencies are checking the version with an attack by a small unmanned aerial vehicle on an ammunition depot. Crimean officials have not yet commented on the situation.

military departments and law enforcement agencies are checking the version with an attack by a small unmanned aerial vehicle

By the way, this is the most probable version: precisely small UAV.
All the more so, they explode on a "mounded area for temporary storage of ammunition", i.e. open air.

“American F-18 fighters were seen at about 11 o’clock Moscow time. The F-18 flight was very long, but it is not known from which air base they took off, because the fighters began to be tracked only when they were already flying up to the waters of the Black Sea.

warplanes flew along the same trajectory. Unusually, with sufficiently capacious fuel tanks of fighters, they almost immediately began refueling in the air. This seemed strange and which caused a number of questions about where the fighters were coming from.

It is still unknown whether the appearance of F-18 combat aircraft over Romania and the waters of the Black Sea is an accident, or whether it is an attempt to track the situation in Crimea with its systems.

A similar situation was observed during the explosions at the air base in Saki a little earlier.

This is from yesterday's news. They carried something heavy, and guess what they carried. And every time so, the time of their appearance, taking into account the time of the approach of the ammunition, coincides up to a minute.
