The commander of the Ukrainian Air Force thanked the pilots of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the attack on Sevastopol

As expected, the missile attack on the headquarters of the Black Sea fleet was the work of the Ukrainian military. Commander of the Ukrainian Air Force Nikolai Oleshchuk thanked the pilots of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the attack on Sevastopol.

He did this on his Telegram channel, commenting on the result of the attacking actions.

In his post, he recalled that when the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked Sevastopol a week ago, he promised that “to be continued.” Now air raid signals are sounding again at the main base of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The Ukrainian officer disparaged the work of Russian air defense systems and called Sevastopol “the city of the Ukrainian Navy.”

One of the Ukrainian media admitted that the Ukrainian military used British-made Storm Shadow long-range air-launched missiles to attack Sevastopol.

Reflecting today's attack, our air defenses shot down five enemy missiles. Unfortunately, he managed to cause serious damage to the historical building of the Black Sea Fleet headquarters. After the strike, city residents were warned of the possibility of a second attack. Soon the air raid alert was canceled. The administration blocked roads and asked residents not to travel to the central part of Sevastopol.

According to the Flightradar service, during the attack on the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet over the Black Sea, about 300 kilometers from the scene of the events, a US Air Force Boeing P-8A Poseidon anti-submarine reconnaissance aircraft belonging to the US Air Force was in the air. He took off from an airbase in Sicily and patrolled the waters over the territorial waters of Romania. And a little earlier, an American reconnaissance drone RQ-4B Global Hawk was in the nearby area. It is possible that the actions of these aircraft are directly related to what happened in Sevastopol.

If there are no strikes on Bankova, the people will not understand this... The Rada Building and the Office of the President are targets No. 1 and No. 2
They are bombing our Crimea,
Killing people in it...
To instill fear in everyone
Scare everyone to death...
And Kyiv, as before,
Lives without worries
Walking, eating and drinking -
War does not want to know ...
Let's eliminate
I sow injustice
And fix it forever
This little flaw
Punish idle Kyiv
And we will gouge the capital -

Target No. 3 - GUR headquarters,

Target No. 4 - SBU headquarters,

Goal No. 5 - Ukrainian Defense Ministry.

Which is what they say: hit me - I don’t want to.

[Sarboz]

I said before and now believe that in order to reduce the activity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in shelling Crimea, it is enough and necessary to shoot down an American drone over the Black Sea. At the same time, it was necessary to shoot it down immediately after the enemy missile arrived at the Black Sea Fleet headquarters. Shoot down demonstratively. It’s too early to touch Poseidon and its crew, but no one will get into a fight with Russia over an unmanned piece of hardware. More valuable to yourself.

[Xenofont]

Shooting down disgusting gunners is a trick, but why not send an electronic warfare aircraft or at least a couple of fighters with hanging containers is the question!

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Mysterious minuser, what's wrong? Tell me, Chechako... What will he tell? (rhetorically)... He will talk about the combat sofa and tomato preparations, maybe even (not sure) about long trips for mushrooms... Although, in retirement, even this is interesting to me...

[digger]

And who said and believed that it was the pilots on the Ukrainian aircraft who fired these missiles? If our leaky air defense could not detect the launches and, in general, the supposedly Su-3 aircraft themselves, then what can we say about the rest. With such a hole, NATO pilots on NATO planes can calmly and freely shoot from Ukrainian territory. And the American reconnaissance plane, aka target designator, freely spits around Russia and aims these missiles... and Putin continues to chew snot.

[osp]

There is no need to aim these missiles - it has a good radio altimeter that reads the terrain under the missile and sends a signal to the on-board computer where the result is compared with a digital map of the route to the target embedded in the missile on the ground.
A high-precision gyroscope stabilizes and guides the rocket; accuracy correction is constantly made by a signal from GPS.

What Ukrainian pilots do with Soviet Su-24s doesn’t require much intelligence at all.
Task for 4th-5th year cadets.
Just pick up the load, take it to the target area and dump it there.
All missing electronics for rocket flight control are replaced by an old tablet on the pilot’s feet.

Such missiles can easily be launched from helicopters or transport aircraft of suitable payload.
But Ukraine doesn’t have such machines, and there are a lot of problems with attaching the holder/exiting wires into the cabin.
On the Su-24, everything remains its own, except for the adapter harness and the support beam.

[old]

The Su-24s are parked somewhere (hardly in the forest), but apparently they can’t be seen from above.. To the General Staff. Or do they trust the reports of Konashenkov more, who reported five times about the complete destruction of enemy aircraft. In any case, the slap rings loudly.

[osp]

There are plenty of airfields, civil airports and operational strips throughout Ukraine with hangars.
You can't count them all.
It’s true that they are standing somewhere, but constantly changing their location.

Of the 30-35 Su-24s that were in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of 23.02.22/XNUMX/XNUMX, about a dozen remained.
They are used.
There are another 30-60 cars, if not more, in storage.
There are a hell of a lot of spare parts for them - enough to last for years of war.
They replenish lost and wasted resources.

[esl462]

The Su-24 flies using a radio altimeter, but the pilots are afraid to rely on it. For a rocket, the flight route and navigation are more important, rv is secondary.

[Khibiny Plastun]

Who told you that Putin decides something there? The true government is like a close circle of friends and a crowd of mediocrities in general's uniform. To do something with the enemy, for example, a Su-30-35 barrage over the Black Sea. Come on. Their level is the elimination of Prigozhin. So as not to scare you until your knees shake. And Putin’s destiny is, pretending to be a sage, to utter phrases on camera about his tireless “care” for the Country.
It's a shame for the State. Mediocrity surrounded the throne in a dense crowd. And they quickly clear the clearing of those who at least knew something. This is where they are unsurpassed masters.

[opuonmed]

What will the Russian Federation do, or rather the leadership???????? You can't miss a blow like that

[January]

You can't do that, you can't do that. Since you say so, something will have to be done... But it’s better to call the General Staff. What if they didn’t read your message?

[Murmur 55]

Let's see how the Kremlin responds, with another routine night strike, which they will call retaliation, or something worse they will “write off” to Kyiv. There is euphoria there now.

[Sid2014]

Nothing will happen!!! Our leaders should not be embarrassed! But saying and writing terrible things is not to do. As for air defense, how can enemy planes take off and land calmly, where is our vaunted aviation!!! We have already destroyed all the media as was said! It’s interesting that after our such effective strikes, the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to attack and even hit Sevastopol. But we probably just don’t want to admit that the reality is different.

[Ovsigovets]

And the government was showered with air defense and vaunted aviation.... Dear man, I hope you are criticizing from the front line, but if not and you didn’t volunteer, then this is the bottom of the barrel.... They are not fulfilling their duty, you are not fulfilling your civilian duty. .... That's how we live))))

You don't have to worry, they always hit where they're aiming. You hardly live on a ship, headquarters or S-400?

[osp]

Here we can say that Ukraine very skillfully uses the remaining Soviet Su-24M bombers, which have undergone an unprecedented “crossing” with modern Western air-launched cruise missiles.
Over the past year and a half, the Ukrainian Air Force has had about a dozen of these bombers in service.
And the remaining 20-25 were already lost in battle or crashed.

But there may be up to fifty more Su-24s inherited from the USSR in storage.
Of that armada of 200 vehicles of this type that remained in 1992.

[Incomprehensible]

The President smiles, gasoline prices are rising. There is no diesel fuel at the Lipetsk region gas station. Everything is fine!

Why is it always emphasized that the Black Sea Fleet headquarters building is historical?

It’s a success to spend 8 missiles to damage the roof of a historical building leased from the Black Sea Fleet. Has control of the Black Sea Fleet been lost? Has the defense capability of Crimea suffered? One question: why lately have they been hitting only 100% stationary targets, although Black Sea Fleet ships should be a priority. Not so it just turns out to be a raid on the ships, you still need to find them and break through to them. The roof will be repaired, not a big loss. But the victory has been inflated, as if the entire Black Sea Fleet was sunk.

[tlauicol]

What roof? There are only external walls left without windows. There's rot inside

The appearance of F-16s will generally be a disaster - the line of battle with them will take place somewhere in the area of ​​Novorossiysk or Anapa.
Air battles will no longer be at the front line, but over the Black Sea.
The integration of European cruise missiles such as the Thunder Shadow, German Taurus missiles and American AGM-16 into the F-158 will not take long.
And they will fly in dozens in a salvo. Some will get through anyway.

The AIM-120 air-to-air missiles are already in production at American factories for F-16s transferred from European countries.
The hunt for our attack aircraft, helicopters and front-line bombers will begin.
Probably over our territory and the waters of the Black Sea.

[osp]

Look at the basic facts.
Not a single more or less modern aircraft has yet been delivered to Ukraine.
But even with the remnants of the Soviet forces that survived a year and a half of war, she is terrorizing the Black Sea Fleet with all her might.
Destroys the BDK, a submarine in the dock. Damages port infrastructure.
It hits air defense systems.
And today he gets to the headquarters.

Now can you imagine what would happen if they were given about a dozen F-16s of some kind of Blok-52 modification?
This is already about 30 cruise missiles in a salvo of such a squadron.
If mixed with UAV decoys, it is impossible to fight back.

Dear friends, you can’t imagine what an article like this looks like in Cheki Novina. The journalist concludes from everything: Sevastopol is capitulating. Fortunately, most people understand that a journalist wants to make a living, but the rest of us mere mortals have a hard time finding a logical conclusion from a Russian expert, but yes, I understand it. As a former soldier, I know that protecting the fortress is a priority, but the citizens of the city must be protected in shelters. The dichotomy of the defense of a fortress or the defense of a people is a complex problem. Russia is not officially at war. There is a message in "Chekki novina" that drones destroyed the entire headquarters of the Navy, which suits the young "kovs", they are happy

I agree with you, much more offensive is the loss of the flagship of the Red Black Sea Fleet "Moscow", the hook of the BDK in Novorossiysk, as well as the Crimean Bridge and the Nord Streams... it seems our Russian arrogance and discord... are costing the people and the country dearly... In short, instead of the concerns of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Red-Violet Lines, it’s time to preemptively conduct tests of “Cousin’s Mom and Dad” on Novaya Zemlya and Somewhere in the Arctic-Antarctic with Alaska and wag a finger at Shchelka, like Mich. Zhvanetsky at the market in Odessa Privoz!
I have the honor

[Reindeer]

Reading the comments, you get the complete feeling that Moscow is under siege, Ukrainian troops are marching near the Urals, the army is almost completely defeated, the fleet is sunk and aviation is afraid to take to the air :)

Sofa schoolchildren)))) this is not only on this resource...... This is such a set of professional whiners.... If they were given power, they would have already shown))))) the truth is they can’t tear their asses off the sofas, they can just whine)))) that’s how we live

[Vladimir M]

I wonder where they get these Su-24s, because as many of them did not exist in nature as the Konashenki “stuffed up”. Most likely, their Su-24s are constantly based at the airfields of NATO countries; Ukrainian airfields are used as landing sites for refueling. And ours cannot officially admit this, otherwise they will have to strike at the territories of NATO countries.

[voyaka uh]

Aircraft are camouflaged and often moved from one
airfield jump to another.
And under Konashenkov’s blows they substitute mock-ups or
decommissioned fuselages.

[Vladimir M]

It is often not possible to mix planes from one place to another. This is very difficult to do. And at jump airfields it is very difficult to constantly maintain aircraft; there is simply no infrastructure for this.

[osp]

In 1992, Ukraine received from the USSR a hell of a lot of these aircraft of various types and years of production - about 200 aircraft.
Including the rare Su-24MP jammers produced in a limited edition, which were based in Chortkiv near the Polish border.

Over the course of 30 years, most of all this, even for natural reasons, has sunk into oblivion - mainly the Su-24 without M.
But when disassembled, engines and other systems remained that are still used today.

Of the 30-35 Su-24Ms that existed as of 23.02.22/XNUMX/XNUMX, about a dozen have survived today.
Not a single dozen are still in storage - but they will probably never fly again.

With the development of the F-16, almost all Soviet fighter aircraft are transferred to the second echelon, and probably removed from service.
They won't be able to support that much.
Yes, and this is not necessary.

There were dozens of such parking lots at ARZs and airfields.

[Garris199]

Well, at least F-16s cannot operate from unpaved strips, since their basing geography is narrowing. Plus, there is no airfield infrastructure or technical personnel to service this type of aircraft on the outskirts. I don’t think that they will gallop just as cheerfully across a dozen jump airfields. It will be possible to track them and destroy them. There would be reconnaissance.

Why are our media trying to justify the successful attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the help of the West to Ukraine, including in the provision of intelligence data?!

It seems like we are going to oppose the whole of NATO, so why do we need such excuses?!

We must admit that our air defense is not at all ideal and to begin to correct the situation, we need air defense systems like the Israeli Iron Dome with missiles with an active seeker, so that this complex can simultaneously fire not 4 targets like the Pantsir, but many times more!!!

The enemy overloads our air defense with the number of steel missiles and some of them break through. We need more advanced air defense systems to defend our important facilities.

[Sergei N 58912062]

We also need to “thank” the commander of the Ukrainian Air Force.

[barbiturate]

It’s interesting where planes with rockets really take off from and who really sits in the cockpit. This is the last thing that connects these attacks with Ukraine and is purely a NATO attack on Russia.

[Architect]

It is strange that the headquarters of the entire fleet did not build themselves a protected bunker.
And the location in the city center suggests that the generals did not intend to fight, but to go to work in comfort.

[Petr_Koldunov]

Well, either I don’t understand something, or... (not... I’m just afraid to assume the truth).
If they bomb our highest-level headquarters (and the headquarters of an operational military formation is not some kind of headquarters of a rifle company, this is a structure of state importance!) - then why don’t WE bomb their headquarters and government structures? When will they demolish Bankovaya? Aeroflotsky? Grushevsky?
Never??? WE are not like that??? Let them continue to launch missiles with impunity? So it will happen! They will continue to do this! Moreover, further - in the literal sense of the word!
