UKRAINE has launched another blistering attack on one of Putin’s key military airfields in occupied Crimea.
Dramatic footage shows blinding explosions erupting overnight as Kyiv’s forces destroyed valuable ammunition stores in the blitz.
Ukraine launched it’s overnight ambush above Dzhankoi airfield in northern Crimea.
The military base – a key hub for Russia – is used by Putin’s twisted forces to launch strikes on Ukraine, and to repel Kyiv special services.
Unconfirmed reports say the pinpoint strike was by US-made ATACMS long range missiles supplied to Ukraine.
Some of Putin’s valued choppers are kept there along with Russian S-300 and S-400 missile systems.
Missile alerts were only sounded after the first strike, meaning the Russians may have been taken by surprise in the successful ambush.
Six large fires raged at the airfield according to Crimean Wind Telegram channel.
The attack was so extensive a major highway in the area had to be closed down.
Even pro-Kremlin Mash news outlet said there had been “explosions in the sky” and acknowledged a fire blazing at the airfield.
The airfield is home to valuable kit including Russia’s Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter, the Mi-8, Mi-28N, and the Mi-35M.
The Ka-52 is designed to destroy enemy armored and unarmored ground targets, tanks, low-speed aerial targets and personnel, says Airforce Technology website.
