Ukraine faces severe air force losses in costly Russian strike

"An attack carried out by the Russian Federation resulted in the Ukrainians losing at least two Su-27 fighter jets. However, this is not the end of the losses suffered by the defenders at the Myrhorod airport (in the Poltava region), located about 90 miles from the front line. The Russian army launched an Iskander missile towards the airport, hitting the designated target. The Ukrainian losses proved significant, as the Russians destroyed two Su-27 jets during the shelling, while four others were damaged.
Forbes notes that the attack could be "one of the costliest days for the Ukrainian Air Force since the beginning of the Russian invasion." MS
