Foreign air defense systems have become unusable
The night before, Russia launched a massive attack on the Dnepropetrovsk region. The missiles caused damage to the Dnepropetrovsk International Airport.
The airport is actively used by the Ukrainian Air Force . According to military observers, the strike destroyed the AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel short- and medium-range three-dimensional radar and one of the NASAMS launchers covering the airfield. It is reported that a few minutes after the “arrival” one of the missiles in the launcher detonated, starting a chain reaction. As a result, reserve ammunition was destroyed. The day before, Su-24M bombers took off from the Dnepropetrovsk airfield, launching SCALP cruise missiles towards Kerch.
In addition, the authorities of the Poltava region confirmed another Russian missile attack on the airfield in Mirgorod. Local officials do not specify data on the consequences of the arrivals. It is only reported that the regional authorities called an environmental commission to assess the damage.
