Several F-16s of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were reported destroyed as a result of Kinzhal strikes on the airfield in Starokostiantyniv

The Russian military continues to strike the enemy's military and energy infrastructure deep in the rear. The Ukrainian Air Force reported an attack on more than 70 drones "Geranium", some of which hit energy facilities in different regions of Ukraine.

In turn, at approximately 10:00 Moscow time, information began to appear in Ukrainian Telegram channels and monitoring publics about an air raid alarm on the territory of the country due to the takeoff of a Russian MiG-31K, a carrier of hypersonic missiles "Dagger".

A few minutes later, there were reports of explosions at the Starokostiantyniv airfield in the Khmelnytsky region, as well as in Kyiv. However, after some time, the KGVA denied the information about the arrivals in the capital of Ukraine.

At the same time, at about 11:00 Moscow time, after another air raid alert was announced, monitoring publics reported repeated explosions in the Khmelnytsky region in the area of ​​the same military airfield. At the same time, local TG channels again wrote about explosions in Kyiv.

Representatives of the Ukrainian Air Force confirmed that Ukraine is being attacked by Kinzhal hypersonic missiles.

Meanwhile, approximately 40-45 minutes after the above-mentioned reports, an alarm was again declared on the territory of our “western neighbor” due to the takeoff of a MiG-31K. At the time of writing, no new arrivals were reported.

Let us recall that the airfield in Starokostiantyniv is one of the sites adapted for the use of American F-16 fighters. At the same time, Ukrainian journalist and blogger Anatoly Shariy has already written on his Telegram channel that, according to some sources, as a result of today's surprise strike by the Russian Armed Forces, four Western aircraft were destroyed with hypersonic missiles.

The above information has not yet received official confirmation.

There is no objective control data and there will not be. And you know, you can write whatever you want. Now, for example, there are reports that one SU-24 was destroyed and two F-16s were partially damaged (hit) when attempting to take off.

For now, this is just a guess. It's too early to open the champagne.

Where is the Western air defense? They usually shoot down 3 percent of the 70 daggers there. Has the runway in Starkonstantinov been modernized? The Soviet ones are completely useless for the F-16s.

We worked on the air defense system first.

"War Chronicle":

After a night session of softening the Kyiv and Khmelnitsky air defense systems with "Geraniums", a group strike is carried out with hypersonic missiles "Kinzhal". The strike zone is presumably the Zhulyany airport and the Starokostiantyniv military airfield.

Ukrainian publics claim that as a result of the unexpected Russian strike, Ukraine lost 4 F-16 fighters at once.


Ukrainian specialized resources report that Russia has begun using Starlink communication modules on Geran-type kamikaze attack drones. The Ukrainian publication Defense Express reports that specialists have examined the wreckage of one of the Geran UAVs shot down last night, on which they discovered an American satellite communication module.

It should be added that thanks to Starlink and the installed camera, the Russian Federation can use Shahed as an extremely long-range loitering munition with the ability to conduct additional reconnaissance and destroy even moving targets, the resource writes, estimating the operating range of such a device at 2000 km.

What are the differences? Runway length?

Runway surface quality. The joints that form when laying the PAGs on our airfields and are filled with a bitumen mixture are like death for the landing gear of the F-16. Our people paid attention to this when American F-90s and Mirages of the Normandie-Niemen squadron flew in for a return visit to Kubinka in the 15s...

What are the differences? Runway length?

The F-16 has a thin landing gear, so it won't go on slabs like ours. The runway is cast entirely from concrete. The engine is low and grabs all the dirt and rocks from the ground, so before takeoff and landing, a special machine goes

Well, if only there were enough Kinzhals! Lately, Iskanders have been hitting Patriots and Hymars as if they were super important targets, and they are not stingy. So, there is a reserve, let the sponsors of Ukraine think about it - we are kind of hinting to them that we have enough missiles for everyone.

[lukash66]

The price tag for one bicorn is an order of magnitude less than a chimera with a full ammo rack and a TZM. And then there's the calculation. And don't forget, there it's in candy wrappers, and here it's in rubles.

[private person]

And don’t forget, there it’s in candy wrappers, but here it’s in rubles.

So that's why we love these "wrappers" so much that when there is a price jump or increase in price, everyone points to these "magic wrappers". They say it's all because of these "greenbacks". And yes, a "wrapper" is considered an international currency, and the ruble is our native one, and we buy goods from abroad mainly for wrappers.

i.e. there is a possibility that these 4 destroyed F-16s were actually Polish and not Ukrainian

[Olesya Lesya]

Our guys shoot daggers only after careful reconnaissance and accurately. So they stirred up something underground. The alarm was declared there only after the explosions. We hope that several were destroyed, but at the same time, quite a lot was damaged, there was more than one explosion, and the number of pilots may have decreased.)) Well done our VKS with reconnaissance

[Lemon]

There are rumors that 11 pig-flyers have gone to Bandera.

[Olesya Lesya]

And also foreign pilot-instructors. That's how many were destroyed, and how many were wounded and already out of action - that's also a result!!!!

There seems to be information about one, and if we take into account that there should also be instructors from the engineering and technical staff, then there may be several of them, candidates for Arlington Cemetery.

It looks like the enemy has no caponiers or underground aircraft parking areas protected from our "Daggers".

Russian military journalist Yuri Kotenok spoke about the problem that the Russian Aerospace Forces are facing when trying to hit the Ukrainian airfield in Starokonstantinov. According to him, the main reason that this air harbor has been operating for so long is not the presence of an air defense system at this facility.
"The problem of demilitarizing the airfield in Starokonstantinov is not even in the enemy's air defense, but in the fact that this facility was built in Soviet times with the expectation of combat use and, as a result, repelling enemy attacks"
- explains the military journalist.
He notes that during the construction of the air harbor, 40 concrete arched shelters were erected to protect aircraft from enemy attacks.
"The presence of such shelters is also one of the main conditions for the transfer of F-16 fighters to Ukraine."
– reminds Yuri Kotenok.

[kit88]

Yuri Kotenok, I hope he doesn't discover America.
You have to be "turbo-advanced" not to place the F-16 in the arched shelters inherited from the USSR in large quantities, say, like the 2A13.
The question is how to find such a shelter with contents.
And the second question is how to open them.
We were once told that the first Axe knocks down the gate, the second one flies in. Maybe so, maybe not.
But how Dagger does it - we'll find out later.

[Piramidon]

Quote: kit88

But how Dagger does it - we'll find out later.

If the "Dagger" can open underground bunkers, then an arched shelter is a piece of cake for it. It protects mainly from a shock wave, and it is unlikely to withstand a direct hit even from a hundred.

Quote: Sergey39

It looks like the enemy has no caponiers or underground aircraft parking areas protected from our "Daggers".

But we do not have a real, full-fledged satellite constellation that would allow us to track the results of an attack in a short time and with good resolution.

The newspaper campaign to discredit Vysotsky's songwriting was preceded by a conflict between government officials and the Taganka Theatre. In the spring of 1968, the Mossovet Department of Culture banned rehearsals of the play "Alive" (based on the story by Boris Mozhaev). On April 25, at a meeting of the bureau of the Proletarsky District Party Committee, the theater's director Yuri Lyubimov was given a severe reprimand with a warning, and the next day a general meeting of the Taganka troupe was held with the participation of the instructor of the District Committee of the CPSU supervising the theater. Vysotsky also spoke at this event - he said, in particular: "We say "Taganka" - we mean Lyubimov. We say Lyubimov - we mean "Taganka".
Almost simultaneously with the persecution of the theatre, a newspaper campaign began, in which Vysotsky’s songwriting was subjected to very harsh criticism.

Yes, and is this person familiar to you?
Ekaterina Alekseevna Furtseva was a Soviet statesman and party figure. Minister of Culture of the USSR (1960-1974)
And you should also know about telephone law...

[Aviator_]

One might seriously think that this right suddenly disappeared under democracy. I had no complaints against the Minister of Culture Furtseva then, and certainly not now. Blatnyak, who sometimes poured out of Vladimir Semenovich, demanded an answer, and this answer was given. And now, among the singing and artistic environment, it is very fashionable to be "persecuted by the Soviet government." Approximately as in Soviet times it was fashionable to be "persecuted by tsarism" (this is about the literary environment). This is the environment. It is always "persecuted."

What, has the West already decided to give all its F16s to the outskirts? And where did you get the information about our dagger stockpiles? They (missiles) seem to have run out two years ago.

[Ivan Ivanov]

I'm talking about a known potential. The West has several thousand of them, they'll scrape together a thousand or two if they want to. The desire is ok there. Kinzhal is a serious missile, they're unlikely to produce thousands of them. Dozens at best.

The West has several thousand of them, and if it wants, it can scrape together a thousand or two.

And a couple thousand military pilots will be issued along with F-16? Seven thousand flight technicians? And what else is included in the price list?

I think that for each working plane you can find several pilots, including retired for various reasons. Someone will agree for a good reward, the dollar printer works great. You can get service in neighboring Poland, Moldova, Romania.

Even in Soviet times there was a powerful airfield there, with the required concrete caponiers; when the planes were flying at full speed, their plume was visible, and they hummed beautifully.

Another well-aimed hit from the unstoppable dagger missile.

[Fangaro]

In the telegram channel you can read about "transfer 100 thousand, and in a month we will return 100 thousand million."
Some number of aircraft were probably destroyed.
And this is in the "Main" section.
The main thing is to be happy?

[Andrey_10]

Well, a person who is not very familiar with aviation will understand that it is unrealistic to destroy (it cannot be restored) 4 planes at once, unless of course they were standing in one row and the hit was within a radius of 10-15 m. Damaged - perhaps, but these are only versions for now, we really don’t know yet!

[mitlantecutli_zen]

Eso está muy bien. Pero les darán muchos más, todo la OTAN trabaja para eso.
