A strike on the Kushchyovskaya airfield on May 19 destroyed a Su-27 aircraft. A Su-34 and a Su-30 were also damaged, according to satellite imagery cited by Radio Liberty.

The photos confirm earlier reports of a Su-27 fighter jet destroyed in the attack.

"We can see a Su-34 with damaged or removed wings, and a damaged Su-27 in another part of the airfield," Ukrainian aviation expert Anatolii Khrapchynskyi tells Skhemy media.

According to him, a Su-30 could also have been damaged, as it has hardly changed its position since May 11 and was located next to the damaged Su-27.
