@@solidfoelifeDo you have an alternative explanation?
😂😂😂😂
@@gont183 it’s obvious only 1 plans was actually destroyed. The pho from Noel reports were photoshopped
@@solidfoelife "Neo-Notsee supporter!"
He's not supporting neo-fascist ruSSia though, you seem confused.
So, assuming 16 ATACMs that's circa 8 million bucks. The tally so far: 4 aircraft, at least two irreplaceable - value maybe 40 million or so, that's value for money already but when you add in a HALF BILLION dollar radar (also BTB irreplaceable) and a pair of 10 million dollar launchers with millions in missiles plus god knows what munitions that were in the warehouse this was one hell of a value for money strike.
True, though comparing dollar values isn't the whole story. It's what damage those jets could have done, but now they can't. And also, how long does it take to replace a jet vs. a bunch of missiles.That said, I'm stating the obvious, and you likely already knew it.
the atacams are surely one of the oldest near the end of Life. nearly No value.
That 8 million isnt a net loss for America.. mainly going to American companies who make the missiles, taxed by America,and the what's not taxed is going to American workers and spent by Americans, funding other businesses and employees boosting the American economy. Also boosts the security of the American defence infrastructure.
It's been argued by economists that these weapon distributions not only boost USA defence but also are a net gain to the USA economy and employment.
@@toby9999And also the extra wear on surviving examples of the type.
Plus it's extremely unlikely that USA are paying 2 million per item for those bulk missiles in 2024. Will be far less
Hey Russia, here's some free advice:

6 jets taken out of the game
Plus another plane and a KA-52 earlier in the week.....
Belbek is an airfield that Russia uses to patrol the black sea. It doesn't do flights into ukraine from there what was the point of hitting that when they're getting smashed on the eastern front and not on the northern? Should have used those atacms to take out Russia in their "new offensive" since border guards knew Russia was coming but ukraine didn't pull anyone (cuz they don't have people to pull) from other fronts...
If karhkiev gets surrounded will wasting atacms in crimea really he a win? If it was an airfield that jets were taking off and bombing ukraine then yeah good job but it wasn't. Its an airfield that Russia patrols the black sea with, Russia has done more damage to us drones in the area than ukraine.. literally day by day ukraine is losing ground and doing wasteful attacks like this?.... mind blowing how ignorant ukraine is.
@@jlo7770 ATACMS are indeed best used to strike high-value targets far away. However, the USA forbids Ukraine to strike into Russia with American weapons (which is stupid). You can bet Ukraine would have struck the staging area if it was allowed. Also, the jets that "patrol the black sea" launch missiles into Ukraine; they are high-value targets, and definitely not a waste of a few ATACMS.
@@jlo7770 40 000 soldiers aren't enough to surround such a large city (yes that is 50 000 minus the 10 000 they have already lost), ukraine has to defend the whole of their border, not just where russia is attacking, and what tells you that these planes didn't go into ukraine ? they ARE IN UKRAINE !! Crimea is ukraine ! and yeah, they can fly north as well
@@nitraM321 you're going to have to be realistic when you're quoting stuff. I don't buy what ukraine claims it's causality rate is on Russian soldiers, you do remember this same country tried to pass off the "ghost of kiev" yes Russia pushed in with roughly 50k soldiers there was absolutely no opposition by ukraine they literally ran away, thats irrefutable. Do I think within a couple days ukraine moved soldiers to the north and kia/wia 10k Russian soldiers? No lol. The one thing we both know for a fact is Russia and ukraine are both lying about loses/victories. Can 50k soldiers surround karhkiev? Yes. It doesn't matter if you have a million people in the city, all you have to do is control the roads in and the people will be starved out. Do I think that Russia will leave it at 50k people? No. Do I think karhkiev is even the main objective? No its to have northern strongholds to surround Eastern lines. Russia realizes going to the coast likely isn't going to happen however the oblasts they control right now are theirs and ukraine isn't getting them back. So they push south and all the oblasts that are pro russia they'll control it totality. If trump gets into office he'll tell nato to stfu and make russia/ukraine sign a peace treaty rewriting the lines and all these people in ukraine will stop dying, trump will push for ukraine to not be admited to nato in that agreement and it ends. Ukraine will never win this war, the numbers are against them, they're desperate for people. They would struggle if they got every single male that fled ukraine back into ukraine and trained up. They simply lack the numbers to win
As far as the base, umm yeah it's in Russian controlled ukraine and has been since?? 2014? And those jets are closely monitored being on the coast they literally went up and took out a US drone, it's part of the blacksea navy that patrols the blacksea, they're not running ops into ukraine. If they were they'd be bombing Odessa. They don't do bombing runs they patrol the black sea, that's been confirmed. So kind of a waste.
As far as the "crimea is ukraine" ahh you know that most of eastern ukraine voted to be apart of Russia right? They speak Russian not Ukrainian. They're not loyal ukrainians, they don't want to be Ukrainian. Does nato acknowledge crimea as Russia? No has it been in Russian Control for a decade? Yes... is anyone in crimea doing anything to thwart the Russian army? No.. why? Because they don't care about ukraine. Soo... let's be real if the people don't want to be Ukrainian are they really Ukrainian?
The Kyiv Independent is reporting:
“Novorossiysk port, oil depot hit in overnight attack”
they hitting a russian refinery every 2 days, so far 14 percent of russian refining capacity knocked out in 3 months. and inflation rising because of it. imagine by fall 50 percent of russian refining capacity knocked out and what effect that has on inflation in russia.
@@giovanni-ed7zq Gazprom is in deep, deep doo doo.
@@sequoiasemperviren3163 Gazprom already posted a net loss of 7.7 *_BILLION_* dollars last year.
Attacks on oil refineries means russia can't process their oil, yet they literally can't stop the oil from coming out of the ground (at least not without causing _massive_ damage to their infrastructure).
Ukraine pretty much forces russia to literally flood the market with cheap crude oil, while also taking away their ability to make money.
@@sequoiasemperviren3163Yes, losing billions. If the world puts sanctions on Turkey and India because they're refining sanctioned oil from Ru and selling it to Europe, then that will further crush the Ru economy.
Not to mention the current crackdown on 'grey' shipping fleets and shell companies.
@@bardsamok9221 We actually want Russian crude to enter the market to prevent global price hikes. We just want it to enter the market at rock bottom prices, which is what both Turkey, India and China are paying. Crude oil already have low profit margins, and it's not even clear if Russia is running in the reds on crude (latest Gazprom figures suggest they might be), whereas refined product is where the money is. Basically Turkey, India and China are making all the profit Russia normally would have. This is (obviously) good for their economy, which is an effective way of making them largely just shut up and let us gank Russia as we see fit.
Wow, these missile hits are extremely precise.
This is one of the reasons that the old Soviet Union fell to begin with. They saw the Western weapons as better and knew they couldn't compete. Fortunately this is a lesson that Putin never seemed to have learned. He seems to be under the misconception that somehow Russia can simply win with overpowering numbers. He is going to learn the hard way he shouldn't have invaded in the first place. The West is simply doing the "slow bleed".
And these are 30 year old missiles nearing the end of their service lives. Russia is decades behind.
That's cluster-rounds with a bomblets spread in a circle if 40m radius and a CEP of 16m for the 300km range variant.
Not accurate, but not extreme for a GPS guided missile.
The 160km variant has 40m CEP with 100m radius of bomblet spread (it contains 3 times as much)
-which for an INS-only guided missile is quite accurate though.
@@tonyfulford3175 He was probably counting on more support from Mike Johnson.

Wonderful advert for ATACMS, even old near use by date ones are not detected by Russia’s finest air defence systems

Belyat Airbase.
Thank you Saneth and Sucho! Good on you.
Not bad for missiles over their expired date and their true cost is only the shipping fee less the cost of recycling.
They might be old designs but America is constantly upgrading them.
@@user-kq4hf8se5b True, but plans were to retire them within 5 years as their replacements come out. Personally, I fully discount their value as we have gotten some 20 years of readiness from them and we were getting ready to scrap them. Thus the shipping costs were likely less than the scrapping costs.
@@user-kq4hf8se5b when you manufacture a missile like ATACMS and GLMRS they have a shelf life. Once passed that expiry date that missile now needs to be decommissioned which costs a *LOT* of money, far more than the shipping cost to Ukraine. That new ATACMS missiles rolling off the production line today are upgraded is irrelevant to these particular missiles being expired. The USA has large stocks of expired or about to expire ATACMS. Sending them to Ukraine actually saves the US tax payer money.
The Russians might have left 2 other aircraft at the base for the simplest of reasons: Their aircraft have abysmal readiness rates. Those two might just not have been airworthy.
Thank you Saneth for being a good proud Brit
Let me correct you there - yes ruzzia had ~100 mig31 of all types, but it isn't clear how many of them were operational, hard to say, but probably only half. By the way isn't some wild speculation, older jets have low operational readiness e.g. German Tornados barely get 30% readiness before retirement... although that is Germany we are talking about, ruzzia also had poor readiness for air force, so 50% maybe even optimistic.
However, only 10 or 11 were converted to mig31k variant which is capable of launching kinzal, it was previously reported that only 8 out of 31k variants were operational... and I would bet that belbeck had specifically 31k variants there, not the older random jets... because in principle mig31 is "interceptor" and there is nothing really to intercept over the Crimea. It can't intercept missiles (depends on definition I guess, some say they have just intercepted ATACM by the way of being hit by them), it would be useless in intercepting drones or even cruise missiles... not that it can't intercept cruise missiles, but it would be just poor choice, because mig31 is high-altitude mach 3+ interceptor, made to intercept high flying spy planes or bombers, I guess it could be used to intercept other aircraft, but that would require Ukraine to fly into ruzzian controlled zone, which they obviously won't do... and using it to intercept subsonic cruise missile would be like using sledgehammer to crush an ant... it isn't even very manoeuvrable, so not great "dogfighter". As such using literally any other aircraft would be better Su27/30, mig29 etc. As such I am quite confident those mig31 destroyed were the 31k specifically.
Meaning this is likely 25% reduction in the fleet of kinzal capable launch platforms - its HUGE!
ye, and another thought, they might not have had the pilots to fly those 2 out of there.... pilot training takes Years. Proper training can last anywhere between 10 to 15 years, starting from scratch.
Nice analysis. Sincerely hope you are correct!
@@CyberBeep_kenshi Most likely those left behind were non flyable, either engines damaged, or failed avionics systems for the flight controls. So now they get hit, removing the usable spares inventory they had in them. Does not need experienced pilot to fly them from A to B, just one that is familiar with the family, and can operate the minimal amount of controls for take off and landing. Cheat sheet will work to get them to move, so long as the weather is clear, and they are flying a straight route or via ATC control.
@@SeanBZA i think that is most likely as well btw.

Costs:
MIG-31 - $33.2 million
ATACMS M57: ~$1.7 million (FY2021)
Cost Ratio 19.53 : 1
As information develops.
A salvo of approx 10 ($17 million) missiles launched against the Crimean airbase apparently, it looks like 4 destroyed jets now (est. $132.8 million), a S400 AA missile system damaged/destroyed (est. $800 million), and a fuel dump hit (cost unknown). Cluster munitions possibly used. Russia has about 96 (now 95) S-400 Triumf (NATO name SA-21 Growler), systems in total.
Cost Ratio: 54.87 : 1
Given that a T-72B3 tank costs around $1M USD for Russia (albiet still pulling/refitting many from stocks). You can see that these are very high value targets and much more complex / difficult and time-consuming to replace industrially.
Appreciate the report from Sanath at the end.
End of month🙄
Skillful interceptions of the ATACMS by those jets, impressive!
I'm happy the Rus bots are going wild
Thanks to you guys, for analysis, fundraising and helping the people of Ukraine!
Might have been only 1-2 ATACMS. At 2:40 you can see that cluster variant was used from the multiple black spots. Also saw some fotos being presented of one of the bomblets.
I was just wondering about the ATACMS cluster bomb. Thanks
All missiles were successfully intercepted by the targets. The jets suffered a bit of paint scratches.
I find it interesting that in another conventional war, such as were common in the 20th century, a strike like this would have taken a major effort by manned aircraft to target an airbase so far behind the lines, or possibly a commando operation. Now, a handful of very accurate missiles can supply the same effect.
I REALLY hope NATO is thinking about the future, and how necessary an integrated air defense is going to be, from treetop all the way to out of the atmosphere.
Oh, no! What russian air crews would drink now? Mig-31 was called a Booze Carrier for a reason. Its air-conditioning works on a 40% mix of ethanol and distilled water.
Not sure about MiG-31 Foxhound but MiG-25 Foxbat uses booze as coolant, the same goes for Tu-22 Blinder
@@danielmiller3781 Blinder? Must've been the tastier methanol then I guess.
@@Indiskret1 Blinder is NATO reporting name for Tu-22, not to be confused with Tu-22M Backfire though, these are two different aircrafts. Soviet nicknames for Tu-22 are Supersonic Booze Carrier, Man-Eater and so on.

With standing patrols of mig 31s and now these losses. The types overall fatigue life remaining must be severely under pressure as these would be better examples of the fleet.
Add to this that russian military jets generally are designed for a comparatively short service life of the fuselage as well as the engines. The currently ongoing process of rebuilding and modernizing up to 114 MiG-31B's to MiG-31BM variants strives to enhance the service life of the fuselages to 3,500 hours (by replacing 15 to 20 percent of the cell structure, according to the manufacturer) - that is not really a lot (and a full rebuild/modernisation like this is said to take up to one year per plane).
aint the Mig-31 one of the few Aircraft that can carry the "Kinschal Cruise Missle"?
and as far i know they do not get build anymore.
And that's just the mig-31k variant, not many mig-31k configurations. Maybe it's a MiG-31K variant...
A lot of aircraft from the russian got produced in Ukraine during the soviet era. Same for ships. So russia was very dependent of Ukraine in that time and are lacking the factories to build new ones. Also they now lack the material to build new ones.
Only about a dozen of Mig-31 were converted to being able to carry Kinzhals. So each of them is very precious to russians. Also, Kinzhal is not a cruise missile. It's a ballistic missile, converted for airplane launch.
Yep, the ones deployed near Ukraine are typically Kinzhal variants too
we need a bunny sitrep.

" I don't think it this is going to buff out" Brillant! Cheers
One of the things that strikes me in this war is the resilience in operability of airfields. In the 1980s and early1990s we always assumed that, against the Soviets, most if not all major Nato air bases in Europe would be wiped out completely and permanently within the first 48 hours of the war. Of course we then also assumed the soviet use of tactical nukes within the first week, should our air bases still exist by then.

I think that one of the jets on the right side that was blown in its outdoor hanger actually had its pilot trying to fly it out when it got hit. You can see the pilot's image outlined with the black burn blast residue running around the remainder of his flung, shriveled decrepit body left in a heap on the ground, a little bit to the right of that darker black burned pavement.
What's interesting is that after this the Ukraine General Staff only claimed 2 aircraft. That seems to be fairly typical of them.

Have you considered that the other planes at 1:53 might be decoys? The middle one seems almost too distinct against the background
Next up: cratering-charges for the runways.
It's one thing to destroy a fighter jet.
It's quite another thing to take away their landing-strips.
Runways can be repaired within a couple days. We saw this with US strikes on Shayrat Airbase in Syria.
The 4th at 2:30 looks more like a Fulcrum (Mig29) than a Flanker (Su27).
