At least three Russian planes were shot down at the Belbek airfield in occupied Crimea, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force reports.

At least three Russian aircraft were shot down at the Belbek airfield in the temporarily occupied Crimea on January 31. The spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Yuriy Ignat, said this during a telethon on Friday, according to a correspondent of UNN.

The best confirmation is the satellite images that are already available on the Internet... But the best confirmation is the obituaries in Russian publics. They themselves recognize and publish information about the damage, at least three planes were there, and then some personnel were killed. This is the best confirmation that not all targets were shot down, as they claim, and that the missiles reached their targets

- Ignat said.
