An Iskander missile destroyed a MiG-29 fighter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in an open parking lot. Another flew towards the S-300 air defense system, not far from the airfield. On this occasion, anti-aircraft missile launchers launched fireworks with detonation, writes FighterBomber.
Finally, the Kh-35 low-altitude missile flew toward the new Pelican guidance radar, which was working alongside the S-300, after the system’s standard radar was burned out by a direct hit from another Russian missile. The phased antenna did not save the radar from destruction.
Recall that on the night of April 15, the Russian army attacked Aviatorsky with missiles and cluster bombs. One of the missiles hit the hotel where the military pilots and engineers lived; The bombs exploded in the airfield parking lot, seriously damaging several MiG-29 fighters.
