Analysts from InformNapalm admit that the strike on the airfield in Crimea could have been carried out by missiles ATACMS launched from multiple rocket launchers M270 MLRS.

What we know

OSINT analysts from the international intelligence community first suggested the use of long-range rockets ATACMS hours after the airfield was bombed. Experts suggested that the Armed Forces of Ukraine disarmed the air defense system with AGM missiles-88 HARM. After that, ATACMS projectiles were launched.

The version with the use of long-range missiles returned after the publication of satellite images of the consequences of the strike on the airbase in Crimea. Analysts admit that the Armed Forces of Ukraine used two ATACMS missiles with a cluster warhead. They were launched not from HIMARS, but from M270 MLRS.

InformNapalm sources confirm that the strike destroyed eight Su-27 and four S-30SM fighters, as well as five Su-24 bombers, six Mi-8 helicopters and one Il-20 aircraft.
