In what can only be described as a major tactical victory, a salvo of Ukrainian missiles has wiped a Russian helicopter base off the face of the Earth.
The base was located in the temporarily occupied port city of Berdyansk, on the sea of Azov. The facility was being used as operational base for at least 12 attack helicopters, plus a number of bladed recon and medevac aircraft.
The massive strike involved no fewer than 10 weapons, believed to be UK-supplied Storm Shadow missiles. The first missile fell at 8am, with more weapons striking the facility over the following few minutes. The salvo struck without warning, so the number of human Russian casualties is also likely to be extremely high.
Post-strike footage showed six massive plumes of thick, black smoke rising from the area.
Ukrainian battlefield reports simply and succinctly marked the operation as ‘successful.’
