Missiles also destroyed the GRU training camp in Gvardeyske.

The AFU has dealt a powerful blow to the largest airbase of the Russian occupiers in Crimea - Belbek airfield. It became known that during the AFU missile strike against the Belbek military airfield in Crimea, the occupants' hardware was damaged.

This is reported by the "Crimean Wind" Telegram-channel, which monitors the situation in the occupied peninsula.

The Russians assure that they allegedly intercepted all missiles, and only debris collapsed on the base.

However, a video of the moment of the "fly-in" has already got into the Net, refuting these statements. Judging by the clip, there were at least two hits at the base.

"According to our source, a part of the cliff next to the runway split off due to the blast wave after hitting the Belbek airfield. The radar station (radar system of the Russian Armed Forces - ed.) was destroyed, they also hit the car park," Crimean Wind reported.

The commander of the Ukrainian Air Force, General Mykola Oleshchuk, has already confirmed that the strike on Belbek was successful.

Meanwhile, Russian Z-channels reported the first information that the strike may have destroyed several military aircraft of the Russian Air Force.

"According to verified information, three planes were lost at Belbek aerodrome - two Su-27s and one Su-30. Two of them are seriously damaged... One aircraft, unfortunately, was destroyed completely, a missile hit it directly. Also, 12 servicemen were killed on the airfield and near it, and more than 10 others were wounded," the Russian "Kremlin Snuffbox" resource wrote.

It specified that the training camp of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation near Gvardeyske was also under attack, 9 Russian GRU spies were destroyed.

We remind you that the AFU launched yesterday a massive missile strike against the occupiers in Crimea. Explosions were heard in Sevastopol, Feodosiya, Saki and other settlements.
