This is what some observers in Russia have been saying since the early days of the war.

No need to hurl insults. I know we all comment in touchy and highly emotional topics but remember to let your well researched and articulated counters do the talking.

Thedrive.com reports "Russian Airbase in Crimea Erupts in Massive Explosions". Several different videos are shown on the site.

The discussion reports that several explosions were felt, ambulances seen on the scene; "our airbase is exploding".
Several different types of aircraft are based at that airfield. The explosions would be munitions that were to be used in the war.
It appears the war has come to Crimea. The base is 124 miles from the front lines.

Ii have already read it the first time, so what? My post you refer to still stands. Should I quote my own post, so you know which one I am talking about?
You and I are on the same page. Listener2307 not so much.
