Other video shows secondary explosions continuing ~12 hours later.
That's three major ammo depots hit now - two around Toropets and one at Tikhoretsky.
There are some estimates that if everything in those munitions storage areas went up, it could be equivalent to a couple months of ammunition expenditure.
There was a period I think in the 1980's where RAF pilots trained using the Tornado as a 'combatant' radar control and AIM-9 equipped Hawks as low level combat fighters. The idea being that the Tornado could handle the BVR fighting and help guide the Hawk into the close range knife fighting which it was quite good at.Step by step...
I wonder if Alpha Jet with AIM-9 (if supplied to Ukraine) can become a part of air defence in future, replacing F-16s in the rear.
