Previously, the Berdyansk City Military Administration has reported 11 explosions, documented fires and detonations within the temporarily occupied territory of the Berdyansk airport.
Furthermore, a video appeared on the network showing fire specifically in the vicinity of the airport. Based on geolocation analysis, it appears that the footage was captured from a distance of approximately 4.5 km away from the targeted strike area.
According to satellite imagery, the russians have established a base for attack helicopters at the Berdyansk airport.
In particular, back in January-February 2023, the airfield was surrounded by rows of fortifications and prepared for circular defense, indicating the occupiers’ long-term plans to utilize this airbase. Images from January 27 captured at least 8 helicopters and one object resembling the Forpost unmanned aerial vehicle.
