It also shows the results of other damage and the moment of detonation of the ammunition depot at this military air base.

As you can see, the “planes without damage” claim turned out to be false and is refuted by both satellite images and video from the scene. And the damage “you can guess from the video if you need to” will be described below.

On the night of August 3, the Ukrainian military attacked the Morozovsk military air base in the Rostov region. According to Governor Vasily Golubev, 55 Ukrainian UAVs allegedly attacked the territory of the Rostov region.

“As a result of a massive UAV attack, a number of warehouse facilities were damaged in the Kamensky and Morozovsk districts. Emergency services are extinguishing the fires,” the Russian governor said at the time.

The FIRMS fire tracking system showed ignition epicenters throughout the territory of the Russian military air base.

The damage was so massive that it was possible to defeat a significant potential of Russian combat aviation.

The ammunition in the destroyed storage facility was used by Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers, which drop bombs with UMPK kits.
