Quote from Oleshchuk: "Saky airfield!

'All targets are down!' (mocking Russian news outlets and the Defence Ministry, as they are always saying that their air defence systems downed all targets, even if there is a lot of strikes - ed.) Unfortunately, our Air Force has lost another command post in Crimea! (Oleshchuk clearly refers to Russia's  Air Force, not Ukrainian - ed.) Once again, I thank our pilots for their excellent work!"

Background:

  • On the evening of 5 January, various news outlets reported explosions in temporarily occupied Crimea, and the Russians blocked the Crimean Bridge.
  • Later, the Russian Ministry of Defence stated that on the night of 5-6 January, their air defence systems shot down four air-launched missiles over occupied Crimea.
