@Borat_Kazakh We've only seen a 1 second video of a Su-24 that was absolutely torched. It was probably in a line side by side with other aircraft that probably got damaged or destroyed. There's what seemed like a fuel depot with 5 fuel trucks burned to the ground. But more interestingly, a video of a car park 500m away from the base, where there's a car with a huge metal girder shoved through the window. It didn't fall on the car. It flew straight through the side. With that much force, debris thrown into the air had to come down with a vengeance on the aircraft.

@oi2837 Crimea has been the place for summer resorts since the Soviet era. Since Russia has exercised control over the land since 2014 they probably think of Crimea as Russia proper and simply ignored that there was a war 200km away.

Combat medical supplies are priced fairly. A military-spec tourniquet for example is 35 bucks. Western soldiers often carry 3-4 if they can. A pack of combat gauze with quick-clotting agent is between 25-65 bucks depending on size and brand.

Some of the aircraft were parked in the revetments, which helps preventing the damage from spreading. However, debris falling down could have still damaged them. There was a video of a structural girder that was tossed into the air and fell on a parked car outside the base.

Okay, but all the money is "going to Ukraine". If we give Ukraine 1 billion worth of weapons for free and pay ourselves the billion to make up for it, that's 1 billion of weapons for Ukraine. If we give Ukraine 1 billion worth of intelligence and pay ourselves the billion to make up for it, we still gave Ukraine 1 billion worth of intelligence. We could do it the other way around and give Ukraine the money and then they'd pay us. But that's meaningless, no need to complicate.

Ukraine still has S-300s protecting their airspace and MiG-29s flying patrols in the West.
