Not much left of it, but this probably is from a Mi-8 or Mi-24.

New attack on Kherson airport. The place is also named Chernobaivka.

Close to Kherson international airport is a very large heliport. On both places is old Ukrainan light aircraft and helicopters.

On place is a Russian helicopter regiment based. It must also hold strong SAM defence because of it is so close to frontier and Odessa.

From the attack can be seen black smoke from helicopters and buildings.

During the attack was at least two generals killed and one bad heart. On place were at least 30 high ranking officers.

Is it the Dzankoj regiment (39 VP) with blue call sign letters based at Khersones?

Or is also the Kornevo and Zernograds regiments involved?

Another Su-34 (or so it is claimed) comes falling out of the sky. Quite literally.

According to our own Scramble messageboard this should be a Civil Ukrainian An26, See https://www.scramble.nl/civil-news/anto ... ower-lines

And another Su-25 goes down smoking like a chimney. It is reported that the Ukrainians shot down no less than 10 aircraft today!

Remember those one or two Russian Il-76s with paratroopers that Ukraine claimed to have shot down on the first days of the war? There was never any evidence of that (also still no deaths reported of pilots), which makes it rather suspicious. However, this article clearly seems to claim at least one of those claims is true. It is about the intel sharing between the US and Ukraine and how much of an impact that has had. And it claims:

That near real-time intelligence-sharing also paved the way for Ukraine to shoot down a Russian transport plane carrying hundreds of troops in the early days of the war, the officials say, helping repel a Russian assault on a key airport near Kyiv.

I would still hope some day to see some real evidence of it (radar images, wreckage, deaths of pilots involved, anything), but this does make it a little more believable again...

I get information early that they get information that several Il-76 was on way from Pskov Kresty to Hostomel.

They get the information then the Il-76 left Pskov-Kresty with wheels up full loaded with parashuters or DSh soldiers.

They were prepared then the soldiers was close to Hostomel.

One other Il-76 could be an action, similar to Migalovo air base, on Taganrog North.

It is many dogs buried in this.

Wait and see.
