  1. Hopefully some aftermath footage is released from this.

  2. 24 storm shadows? Did UA had that many? If so, they need more!!

  3. Three planes with that many people around, and scrambling to get off the ground — it had to be all pilots and ground crew, right? Pretty good result.

  4. Bummer if it’s only 3 planes. While good, would love it see it double or more

  5. …..I wonder if the Ukrainians are using some different kind of missile?…

    Because there’s no way in hell it’s StormShadow here, unless the Russians are (of course) lying about the amount of incoming missiles.

    Ukraine has like, 6 or so SU-24s (the only plane in the UAF that can launch the StormShadow) operational as we enter 2024. Each plane can carry 2 missiles/decoys in its pylons.

    So for 24 missiles to be launched, the Ukrainians we need a dozen SU-24s, which would *more* then **their entire air fleet of that type** in one mission.

    I really can’t see the Ukrainians risking so many valuable assets on one attack here.

  6. Smashing job keep it up Ukraine,Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧

  7. The enemy fired 24 missiles.

    5 of them got through
    ***Translation***
    Ukraine fired 5 missiles and our air defense did not stop a single one.

  8. Rocket propelled gliding bombs are going to be even more effective.

    Hope they hurry up with that.

  9. Whenever one reads a ruzzian source report always be aware it understates damage and overstates the success of their reaction.

    Damage was likely much greater, and they probably shot down little of the attack.

    This one axiom is always true “when ruzzian lips move they are lying”.

    **Edit:** there is already footage of one portion of the attack and multiple strikes are evident.

  10. Would be great if this were a daily occurrence.
