Quote from DIU: "Space intelligence data indicate that a Su-34 fighter-bomber was destroyed as a result of the attack on the Morozovsk military airfield belonging to the aggressor state of Russia in Rostov Oblast on 3 August.
Two more Russian aircraft of the same type were probably damaged by debris – craters from explosions were recorded near the sides of the aircraft."
Details: It is also reported that the Russian depot storing aviation weapons was completely destroyed. DIU emphasises that large areas of scorched earth are visible on the territory of the airfield and around it as a result of the subsequent detonation of Russian munitions.
