Now, apparently, a massive raid of Geraniums has begun. The strike is expected both in Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhya and Kharkiv oblasts and, for example, in Kiev and Kiev oblast

TECH in Starokonstantinov.

-The building itself was destroyed by a hit from our Caliber at the beginning of the Northern Military District.

—At the same time, we can observe work on the restoration of aircraft equipment on the site in front of the remains of the building.

-Let me remind you that the Su-24M is the most formidable aircraft in the country 404 today, because it can carry Storm and Scalp missiles.

-The Ukrainian Air Force has about 10-12 live such aircraft at its disposal, and about 100 more in storage.

Active work continues on enemy airfields.

During the night, Mirgorod, Dnieper, and Kirovograd were hit.

According to sources on the ground, both the runways themselves and the aircraft in storage are being broken up.

Everything that could fly, as always, is taken out of attack during launch. @Slavyangrad

    Was something lost in translation? What is a “raid of geraniums?” I presume we’re not talking about Russia stealing Ukraine’s flowers?

      Name of plane like drones produced in Russia using Iranian license.

      Noisy and slow, but cheap. I think original name is Shahed drones.

    All attacks are targeting airfields.

    My guess this will render air support missions impossible for at least a few days.

    Air support has the best chance to impact (to stop) ongoing Russian offensive.

    It also has the highest chance to damage All available Ukrainian air power.
