#Follow the latest developments in the situation between Russia and Ukraine # The Russian Air and Space Force may have lost several helicopters at Kherson airport.
Foreign media judged from civilian satellite photos that the Russian Air and Space Force may have lost several helicopters at Kherson airport. The Ukrainian army has always claimed that after russia occupied Kherson airfield and deployed a large number of helicopters, the Ukrainian army shelled the airport continuously, destroying "dozens" of Russian helicopters.
However, from this satellite photo taken at 1:35 p.m. local time on March 15, the Russian helicopters parked on the civil aviation tarmac of Kherson Airport, although several are indeed burning, are mostly unharmed.
On the tarmac of the part of Kherson Air Force Base on the other side, there are also some helicopter wreckage, surrounded by burning traces of stars. However, it is impossible to determine whether these helicopters were Ukrainian helicopters that were destroyed when the Russian army occupied the airport, or Russian helicopters that were shelled and destroyed after the occupation.
In addition to burning helicopters, there are also some ground vehicles burning, and many bomb craters can be seen on the lawn of the airport, and the real airport has indeed suffered heavy shelling.
In any case, it may be true that Russian helicopters were destroyed in the shelling, but it is far less than the "dozens" that the Ukrainian side said, and it is normal for such a scale of attack to cause some helicopter damage. However, this loss does not seem to play a role in the entire war situation!
