Or the first time Ukraine can hit the Black Sea Fleet with land-based weaponry.
The Russians have gone in

A Ukraine allied group of 50 contributing nations, led by the USA, is now operational in a German city. It coordinates procurement and logistics to Ukraine.
Britain, which has trained 22,000 Ukrainians, on British soil, in the last seven years, is running an international effort to train in Britain, a minimum of 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers every 120 days.

Excellent!!
Not his only aircraft problem. The Russians are now cannibalizing commercial aircraft because sanctions cut off supplies of spare parts.

sorry for Russia.

Did you notice in the photo accompanying the Crimean airfield explosion story that there are some hardy people still hanging out at the beach: "No nearby exploding airbase is going to spoil my hard-earned vacation!"

That would be quite a concept for them even without a war.

on a somewhat related note of alcohol driven antics, I'm not seeing much from the Garage 54 youtube channel in my feed since this all started.
A guy could marvel at how many ways a Russian grease monkey can find to butcher a Lada.
With the reduced income from youtube, I imagine the content has suffered as much as the cars

Saw this story that combines info on the strike on the Russian held airfield in Crimea with the info I just posted on US anti-radar missiles now in Ukrainian hands.
"OSINT analysts from the international intelligence community first suggested the use of long-range rockets ATACMS hours after the airfield was bombed. Experts suggested that the Armed Forces of Ukraine disarmed the air defense system with AGM missiles - 88 HARM. After that, ATACMS projectiles were launched.
The version with the use of long-range missiles returned after the publication of satellite images of the consequences of the strike on the airbase in Crimea. Analysts admit that the Armed Forces of Ukraine used two ATACMS missiles with a cluster warhead. They were launched not from HIMARS, but from M270 MLRS.
InformNapalm sources confirm that the strike destroyed eight Su-27 and four S-30SM fighters, as well as five Su-24 bombers, six Mi-8 helicopters and one Il-20 aircraft."

If I smoked, I'd light up and smile over that news. 
I'm sure Snubbyfan will fill in for youIf I smoked, I'd light up and smile over that news.
Until a few months ago, I'd have fired up a vintage briar bowl of Borkum Riff, but I've pretty much quit.
I still have a little Samuel Gawith "Squadron Leader" I could rehydrate for the odd time I'd like to light up. But I can't get any decent pipe tobacco in Bellingham anymore as the two decent shops shut down a few years ago and everywhere wants gov't issued age ID now to order online "for our own protection" I suppose.
On the contrary. Throw caution to the winds and have at 'er!

Russia charges journalist who protested Ukraine war live on TV
Marina Ovsyannikova has been charged with spreading false information about the Russian army after she interrupted a live broadcast to denounce the military action in Ukraine
Marina Ovsyannikova has been charged with spreading false information about the Russian army after she interrupted a live broadcast to denounce the military action in Ukraine
A Russian former state TV journalist who in March interrupted a live television broadcast to denounce the military action in Ukraine, has been charged with spreading false information about the Russian army, an offence punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Article here
The charges relate to a protest last month, when Marina Ovsyannikova held up a poster that read “Putin is a murderer, his soldiers are fascists” on the Moskva river embankment opposite the Kremlin. Three “blood-soaked” toy dolls were laid on the ground in front of her.
Ovsyannikova, who was born in Ukraine, came to prominence in March when she barged on to the set of a live evening news broadcast on Russia’s flagship Channel One, holding a poster reading “No War” in English.
