This morning a strike was carried out on a reserve airfield of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Ivano-Frankivsk region

The Russian military continues to almost continuously deliver crushing combined strikes against clearly identified targets in territory controlled by the Kyiv regime. Taking into account the increasing weakening of Ukrainian air defense, most missiles and drones The Russian Armed Forces reach their designated targets, although Ukrainian propaganda continues to hide the real damage from the arrivals.

Last night was no exception. As previously written "Military Review", in the dark and in the morning hours, strikes were carried out on military and energy facilities in the Khmelnitsky, Kharkov and Kyiv regions.

Taking into account the total control and clarification of reports on the results of strikes by the Kyiv authorities, more reliable information mainly comes through closed channels. The coordinator of the Nikolaev underground, Sergey Lebedev, reports on his telegram channel about the morning arrival at the airfield of the city of Kolomyia in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. The airfield is used strategically aviation Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It is known that in case of danger of attacks from the Martynovka, Dolgintsevo and Kanatovo airfields, planes move to the airfield in Kolomyia. It is also used for repair and maintenance of flight equipment, Lebedev clarifies.

In Ivano-Frankivsk itself, explosions occurred close to the city center. It is reported that the strikes were carried out at a point of temporary deployment of Ukrainian Armed Forces militants. After the explosions, nearby neighborhoods were cordoned off, and many ambulances rushed to the scene.

Another hit in Ivano-Frankivsk was on an ammunition warehouse. Despite the bans, local residents report powerful explosions, after which thick smoke with sparks rose over the city. The detonation from the explosion site can still be heard, the townspeople write, specifying that there were at least three arrivals at the warehouse location. It is reported that the military facility was attacked by kamikaze drones “Geranium” (Ukrainian sources continue to call them “Shaheds”).

Lebedev confirms another strike on the airfield in Starokonstantinov, Khmelnitsky region. In general, recently the Russian Armed Forces have increased the number of attacks on enemy airfield infrastructure. In this way, several strategic tasks are solved at once. Firstly, the ability of the Armed Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to strike Russian front-line and rear targets using the remaining air fleet is minimized. Secondly, a clear signal is sent to Kyiv’s Western allies regarding the repeatedly delayed delivery of F-16 fighters.

And finally, aircraft repair and assembly capacities are being destroyed drones. In addition, Ukrainian military pilots are undergoing training at the airfield in Starokonstantinov, which was previously hit on the night of April 16.

The airfield is used by strategic aviation of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Now let’s talk in more detail about the strategic aviation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. What does this mean? Very interesting...

[Rage66]

Apparently, 12 sawn TU-160s are stored there

[kvv]

I was also interested in this question

He also frowned a little. when I read such nonsense...

[Ivan Ivanov]

We need to finish off the electric power industry and not just poke it with pins once. They say that the power of Dneproges-1 has already been restored, but the supreme humanitarian continues to chew hay, desperately wagging his tail and emphasizing the responsibility of our actions. The Atacams that arrived yesterday across the Dzhankoy are a test balloon for strikes on the Crimean bridge. But it’s easier for us to restore again than to prevent the problem.

[Ghost1]

So it seems that it was said that these were our retaliatory strikes on the infrastructure, apparently they thought that’s enough for now.

[Ivan Ivanov]

By the way, yes, there is a very big difference between what the Kremlin believes and reality - in the third year of the war, the pig farm does not experience any problems with energy, but regularly flies to us. With a bitter smile I watched how a number of experts rejoiced in the cart - supposedly, systemic work on energy had begun. Wait, I think the supreme haymaker will come out now and explain everything. And he didn’t keep himself waiting at the meeting with Lukashenko.

[Taskhyl]

The Kremlin doesn’t give a damn - their children and grandchildren don’t die there!

[Ivan Ivanov]

It's not about the children, it's about the convolutions confused by perestroika and citizens not corresponding to their positions.

[sdivt]

This is what surprises me most about the “retaliatory strikes”
That is, if the Ukrainian Armed Forces stop shelling deep into Russian territory - then we will diligently take care of their infrastructure? Shall we limit ourselves to actions on the line of combat contact?
Well, like, they started to fight honestly! Why do we need to destroy airports, fuel and lubricants, ammunition depots, and equipment at distant approaches? It won't be nice what they'll think about us...

It may be like a warning that if you increase your strikes, you will get even more arrivals. Like this is not the limit of our capabilities.

[sdivt]

Did I understand you correctly?
Like - yes, we can! But we just don’t want to.
We don’t need to finish the SVO quickly. We still want to fight for a couple of years...
So?

[suhorukofal]

Quote from sdivt

Did I understand you correctly?

They didn't even get it close. Or do you have only one tactic - a cavalry charge?
I’ll ask a question, have you ever seen artillery fire all its shells on the first day? Targets are identified, fire is adjusted, analysis and reconnaissance are carried out, it is strange to explain such things on a site with a military theme.

[sdivt]

Dear colleague, is this your phrase?

Quote: suhorukofal

If you increase your strikes, you will get even more hits

Can it be perceived in any other way than I described?
Without "creeping my mind along the tree" (c)

[suhorukofal]

How much shorter? You have two extremes - either we don’t hit at all, or we hit with all guns. You can shoot from all trunks every day, how long will it last? There are certain moments when it is necessary to deliver a massive blow to a certain concentration. I repeat, there is no need to divide into black and white, sending forward every day what may fly is not very advisable. I don’t know the state and quantity of shock weapons, but I think we can spend more, but I think it won’t be entirely advisable to spend everything at once.

[Ivan Ivanov]

You have to hit them so that they don’t get up anymore. We have been giving them 2+ years to recover, strengthen, and bring in new funds. In this mode of war, there will be no end to it, at best, otherwise we will even reach the point of NATO entry, and then there will be only one way out for everyone - nuclear weapons, for which there must still be enough will. Moreover, by stalling for time, we are allowing the West to strengthen its triad and air defense, to prepare for an invasion, i.e. Even revenge may not work.

This is ideal, do such wishes often come true in a fight? The capabilities of our defense industry are far from limitless. The production of weapons of destruction also costs money, we are not like Ukraine, we can rely mainly on our own capabilities, it’s hard for me to imagine how much we buy from other countries. Again, no one will supply this to us for free, like Ukraine.

Quote: IvanIvanov

In this mode of war there will be no end to it

Just a year ago we had a shell famine, I wrote about it, for which I caught some downvotes, everyone thought that we were cool and we had everything. So here, we can say that everything needs to be smashed into dust, but we have such opportunities? You can, of course, immediately increase the fire, but then what, “smile and wave”?
I repeat, you can want a lot, but is it possible? Our possibilities are not limitless; we destroyed everything as we wanted. In words, this is easy, but is it possible, do you have data on the state of our arsenals, to talk about our readiness to inflict even greater defeats over a long period of time?
PS How quickly the site responds to printing, at this speed you can send letters via Russian Post

[Ivan Ivanov]

This is ideal; the capabilities of our defense industry are far from limitless.

Limited strikes on the energy sector, as well as gestures of goodwill, are obviously a political decision. It is still political - a “proportionate response.” The trouble is that in the end we will spend much more lives of soldiers and shells.
We can talk about the limit of possibilities when/if a country lives under martial law in culture, law and order, economics, and diplomacy. This is still not happening, you can see for yourself.

This is another question for our leadership, like many others. Naturally, as well as what seemed to be the case in such a situation, having sold off industrial space for the development of thieves' residential complexes, reducing the number of higher educational institutions. And now we are clutching our heads, there are not enough officers, the problem with shells has only recently been resolved. Yes, you can say a lot.

[Ivan Ivanov]

What we're talking about is that it at least needs to be restored now 24/7, which is not happening. Periodically looking at this mess for 10+ years - 3 planes per year, alien equipment, high frequency. alien power and software, alien education, professorship lured by Western grants, I wondered how/what we would butt heads with our partners if something happened. I consoled myself - if it’s clear to me from the sofa, then it’s all the more clear upstairs, they’re not stupider than me, they just don’t advertise it. It’s the same story with the Navalnists. Why, I thought, do they breed like rabbits, this is a potential 5th column. Why did you think migrants were being brought in, what was in their heads. We open their textbooks, read chats - Ukraine 2.0., 3.0... Whatever you touch - the grossest mistakes.

Yes, what kind of mistakes these are, so...pure betrayal.

[Yuri Vasilyev]

Revenge will always work. You can’t even imagine how afraid NATO is of Russia, they are used to living beautifully, robbing, but they don’t want to die at all. They don't want to fight.

[1 z1]

Have you ever seen artillery fire all its shells on the first day?

What can I say and that was it. Not in a day, of course, but in the first six months they released a lot. Although most likely there is no other real way to compensate
There was no outright numerical superiority.

[suhorukofal]

So what I’m talking about is that you need to somehow plan your work. But it’s not like we’re hitting with all guns for a month, then we’re sitting without a BC for half a year.

Quote: 1z1

If only they had shot normally and not wasted ammo. It was a useless waste of shells, but what a hit. What I'm talking about is that you need to spend wisely, and not waste everything. It’s easy to shout about this, on the site “hey, let’s hit it, why is it so little?”, you can even get pluses for the sake of self-satisfaction, but the reality is different.

[bug120560]

As long as the elite has at least a glimmer of hope for an agreement with the West, there will be no changes.

[Irek]

I hope they demolished the airfield along with the staff.

there in Kolomyia the detonation was so good, apparently through the Psheks they brought “goodies” for dill, but this incident happened

[Ivan№One]

oh, I wish I had lions
the east is in ruins
Westerners no

[rocket757]

Planned and inevitable!!!
This is the worst thing for the enemy!
If the green-lovers don’t bother to comprehend it at all, then the main boss is forced to understand it all, take it into account, and react!
In general, push without stopping, then it will roll easier, but from a certain moment, it will go on its own!!!

[sdivt]

I hope that our Supreme Commander has finally moved from the “we haven’t started yet” stage to the next one, “it’s time to start”
And I really hope that all this is not a one-time thing.

[kvv]

By all indications, there is now a stage of “bargaining”, which means there is still “depression” ahead, and only then the stage of “acceptance” of reality as it is

[1 z1]

I would like to hope that I have moved on. And not only him, but everyone around him. I don’t think that the Supreme Commander approves and controls the work done every time an aircraft is launched and taken off.

[solar]

I don’t see something about Dzhankoy. Did you miss it or not?

[Nastia makarova]

Yesterday there was rocket fire, several buildings were damaged, no casualties

[solar]

I know. Last night they wrote about it here and posted photos of the consequences. I didn’t see VO’s reaction to the event or I missed it. As far as I understand, the event was significant - the American Atacamas were used.

[Nastia makarova]

photo??? for the same period!!!! I saw only one fake photo, supposedly from the S-400, there is no photo in the cart either, and it seems they have already used Atacams, but in smaller quantities

[solar]

Yes, someone posted this photo at night. Is this fake? I thought VO would write about this today with a more balanced analysis, but I didn’t see such material.

[Nastia makarova]

There’s not even a photo there, but a picture that looks like it’s been drawn with paints, there’s no other information, no satellite images

[solar]

Apparently, we saw different ones, at night they posted a photo that looked like it was taken from a monitor screen.

[Nastia makarova]

a photo from afar of a fire, I'm talking about a photo up close where the burnt remains of the S-400 are, this is a fake, the photo is ancient

[solar]

yes, exactly that. But it’s clearly not painted.

[Nastia makarova]

I said it as if it was)))) in one word, fake

[rotmistr60]

The Russian military continues almost continuously deliver crushing combined strikes against clearly identified targets in territory controlled by the Kyiv regime

And this is probably the main thing. Don’t give Banderaism a moment’s rest, both on the LBS and in the rear.

It always touched me when a zero considers himself a strategist. It’s a pity that such strategists’ careers don’t go beyond the position of security guard.

[Fitter65]

The airfield is in use strategic aviation of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Before this message, I had never seen a more stupid thing on VO. Gentlemen producing editors - how is this possible?!!!!!!
