On the night of August 4, unmanned aerial vehicles of the Security Service of Ukraine attacked the Saki military airfield in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
This airfield is a key Russian airbase for operations in the Black Sea, according to the SBU.
“As a result of the strike, one Su-30SM aircraft was completely destroyed and another was damaged. Three Su-24 aircraft were also hit. The enemy suffered significant losses. After all, a single Su-30SM aircraft can cost an average of $35 to $50 million,” the statement said.
As a result of the special operation, an aviation weapons depot was also hit.
“The successful special operation of the SBU in Saki is another step towards weakening the enemy’s ability to wage a war of aggression against Ukraine. The occupiers must remember that they will never feel safe on our land!” the SBU concluded.
