Ukraine's Air Force explains why targeting Ukrainian airfields is ineffective

Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Yurii Ihnat has noted that, in the wake of the Russian shelling of the airfield in Starokostiantyniv, Khmelnytskyi Oblast, in the event of Russian strikes, pilots move their aircraft to other Ukrainian airfields. Source: Yurii Ihnat during the national 24/7 newscast   Quote: "This is not the first time this airfield has been attacked.

It's the permanent base of a tactical aviation brigade.

But our aircraft are quite mobile, our pilots know how to counteract the enemy in these conditions. We have dozens of operational airfields in the country. Therefore, the enemy will not be able to destroy our aircraft so easily...

I think our pilots will soon show them the wasp's sting."

Details: Ihnat was referring to the protocol that enables pilots to redeploy aircraft to other airfields if there is a possibility of incoming Russian strikes. Reference: Even before the air defence systems went online and explosions began yesterday, the Air Force posted on social media that missiles were in the air and that their likely direction was Starokostiantyniv.
