ALLIED RESOLVE 2022 + the war that followed

[FredL]

Looking at Krasnodar-Tsentral'nyy airport on google map, I notice 2 helicopters, apparently Mil Mi-8s destroyed (burnt) on one of the two main parkings, next to four other ones, apparently reeady to fly, Mi-8s.

I didn't find any incident report linked to this airport and destroyed choppers there.

Does anybody remember anything about this ?

To be sure, the Taurus is a cruise missile, normally air-launched. As Ukraine does not have any of the aircraft types that are (according to generally available info) able to deploy it including the F-16, the version would have to be the Taurus CL, for Container Launched. That version is to be deployed from a truck or ship.

Not necessarily. Scalp and Storm Shadows have also been modified to be used by Su-24s. Or the Su’s have been modified.

As Storm Shadow and Taurus are “family” of each other, I’m sure Ukraine will also find a way to make them air launchable.

Still nothing of proof from the Ukrains about the ‘5’ downed Su’s in a few days..

The Russians claimed they shot down a Mig-29 + Su-24 on March the 1st. The Mig near Krivoy Rog airport and the Fencer near Pravdino. But as well, hard to confirm ofcourse.

Video footage of a burning piano from the Ukrainian side with 08-03-24 on it emerged on Telegram as well, a tradition for fallen pilots.
