Other speculations are: a drone strike from sea launch platforms, similar to the Black Sea Fleet headquarters strike; sea launched Harpoon strike; a good old fashioned commando raid or partisan activity.

Ukraine Live Updates: Damage in Air Base Blasts Appears Worse Than Russia Claimed

Crimea’s leader said one person was killed and more than 250 people had to evacuate their homes after the explosions on Tuesday. The blasts were the work of military special forces and partisan guerrillas, a Ukrainian official said.

Yes, Russians are now reaping what their leader sowed.
For the first time since Putin attacked Ukraine, Russian people are getting a taste of what Ukrainians have suffered (evacuating, bombs/rockets exploding nearby) from the start.

In the video, she's upset about all this, but hey, though shit...
 
Before and (unverified) after images.


This is the moment when Russia lost the war. Ukraine clearly has the ability and will to hit Russia's land, sea and air forces anywhere within Ukraine's pre-2014 internationally recognized borders. Meanwhile all Russia can do is lob dumb rockets from behind their hastily prepared defences.

This has become John Wick vs. Rodney Dangerfield. The former, beloved by his fans worldwide, with now near unlimited latest Gen weaponry, seeking revenge and restitution; the latter relying on 70s rubbish, fumbling about, bemoaning their lack of respect. The eventual outcome is clear.

Just a heads-up: if you see "OSINT" on or attached to an image, it means it's from "Open Source INTelligence" and is legit.

Only if it comes from a recognized source. Any Tom, Dick or Ivan could modify existing satellite imagery to paint a compelling but inaccurate picture....and they can slap OSINT on it to make it look official. If it ain't OSINT from a recognized intelligence body or a non-partisan organization (e.g. vetted not-for-profit etc), then be very careful about forwarding it.
 
Possibly 24 aircraft destroyed

"The daylight attack, which triggered 10 or more explosions at Saki air base, home of the Russian Black Sea Fleet's 43rd Independent Naval Attack Aviation Regiment, burned to the ground as many as eight Su-27 fighters, four Su-30 fighter-bombers, five Su-24 bombers, six Mi-8 helicopters and a unique Il-20 telemetry aircraft, according to a Russian source."

Based on the pics Dimlee posted, its certainly more than 9 the Ukrainians claimed.

A Ukrainian Raid Destroyed A Lot Of Russian Aircraft—And Could Force Russian Squadrons To Pull Back

The Ukrainian attack on a Russian airfield in occupied Crimea on Tuesday apparently destroyed a lot of aircraft. It easily was the biggest single-day loss for Russian air power since Russia widened its war on Ukraine in late February. And it could shape Russian air operations moving forward.
