J: I visited this very airfield a few years ago, perhaps in 2016 or so. It was an eye-opening experience. The field was literally a Su-27 junkyard, with maybe (and I am not exaggerating) 10-12 working Su-27s. When I say "working," I do not mean FMC, (Fully Mission Capable,) but only barely flyable. The rest of the airfield was filled with 30-40 Su-27s in various states of disrepair, cannibalization, and mostly housing for rodents and insects. The sole aircraft on air defense alert was a joke, cords sticking out of the tires, and one of the missiles was actually missing a guidance fin. However, that jet WAS in a hardened shelter. I am confident the Su-27s hit today were either decoys or "static display" aircraft, stripped of all useful parts and purposefully left exposed as "bait." However, it's just my opinion...
Great video thank you Jonathan for the information provided Glory to Ukraine Slava Ukraine pryvit
as Greg Terry would say lets wait 3 days and we'll probably get a few more facts by then
Thank you Jonathan for bringing us the news good or bad.🇺🇸🇺🇦
Thank you Jonathan ❤ Love to all 🫂 ❤
We're having some tough days 😪 I love you ❤ 🫂
I love you my friend ❤🌌 🤗
Hi Nikki, and Thanks again Johnathan for the update … 💙💛💙
I just don't understand why they haven't built bunkers for their planes like NATO bases have. It's not like they have great numbers of planes to protect!
Poltava's only 120 km from the border. I'm surprised that fighters are based there at all.
Do we even know if these planes are serviceable. I remember at the very beginning of the russian invasion of an interview of airport groundcrew. They said they intentionally were putting unflyable aircraft on these open areas but always kept their good aircraft hidden away from the open airfields
1.) Planes not scrambled - unflyable?
2.) Been there for a long time - decoys or stripped hulks?
3.) No air defense - nothing valuable there to defend?
4.) Nothing changed between hits and recon drone not attacked - inactive airfield?
i still think we should voice any criticism , why you might asks and its because to keep Ukraine sharp and accountable...any bad decision makers need to be called out. Getting complacent will be bad in log run
Cheese and rice jp. Hardest working man in the business. Ty
Thanks JP. Next time you have a breaking update, make sure it’s good news.😉
Agreed 🤜 I've had all the crap news I can take. 🤗
Some could be decoys
Thank you for covering this Jonathan 😊
Hello Jonathan Hi team I've caught up 😊 see you all soon 💙💛
How’s that? Ukraine can’t hit Russian bases. I thought Russia wasn’t allowed either. That’s sarcasm by the way.
Thank you Jonathan, I have for a while thought about the idea of filling airbases with knackered old junk, if a country won't donate a working F16 how about a husk, park it up as a decoy 🤔, wouldn't look great for PR for Ukraine to start with, but when ruzzian high command gets footage of all the donated F16s destroyed, but most seem to still be flying missions, that could piss them off and lead to a bit of head scratching 🤣👍🇺🇦
Even more worrying is why were they all clustered so bloody close together ?
That is a big air base there is no reason why they could not have been stored as far away from each other as possible to limit the damage from any attack .
I'll wait for Suchomimus to analyse the images before jumping to conclusions.
Yay fact based content
Both sides can be successful at hitting each others valuable resoures. Silly to imagine thick concrete bunkers can be built quickly and without being targets themselves.
Could these have been decoys? Why Did US Buy Old Soviet Aircraft from Kazakhstan?
In October Kazakhstan offered 117 old Soviet-era combat aircraft for sale by auction and it has now been reported that the US has bought 81 of them through offshore intermediaries.
by Steve Brown | April 28, 2024,
There was a US congressional delegation there today and perhaps this could be another argument for allowing Ukraine to hit russian airfields. Back in April the US bought 80 or so old migs from Kazakhstan for 20,000 US each, many said to be unworkable. At the time everyone was speculating on spare parts, etc. I have to wonder what else those might be used for.... I'll bet Budanov knows.
Not sure that was a real sale, but time will tell...
Keep up the good work Johnathon Ron
Morning JP 👍😊
Happens the day the Aussies announced they're sending "Slinger" systems to Ukraine.
As for the loitering drone, the Australian government has a lot to answer for
The morons in Canberra are always B-Sing about "support for Australian high tech manufacture "
Yet when EOS got orders for 400 slingers early tis year the less than useless Australian government should have been there with a big bucket of cash so EOS could set up a production line to build them is numbers ,1 per month will not cut it , while a new 1000/month factory could be built .
These slingers have a potential sales of over 5,000,000 as they have proven themselves to work very well against all types of current propeller driven drones in Ukraine.
However in time all cannon firing anti drone systems will be replaced with lazers so the window to cash in on the system is very short and the massive demand is urgently needed right now
At $ 1,000,000 a pop they are cheap enough to be installed on every cargo ship for instance and I am sure LLoyds would happily pay to have them fitted
As they are easily transported and can work on rolling vessels they could also be bolted to a container frame , dropped onto every ship traversing the red sea for example .
However as par normal the Australian government refuses to offer meaningful support to manufacturing industry and the 180 Slingers Ukraine just ordered ( yes they are paying for them ) will be built in Ukraine and probably the 5,000,000 the rest of the world will want to buy over the next 10 years as well .
Awful news, but many thanks for your relentless coverage. X
First casualty of war is the truth. Either way it is not a great look.

Jonathan, as you know, focusing on the actual number of losses is not the point. Focusing on why so many aircraft are sitting in the open, unprotected, seems to be the question. They need to be much better prepared to receive the F16s.
0:12 Does anyone remember the 100+ Kazakh planes bought by USA?? I would ask myself In POLTAVA it is known that you lose planes. They were only good for spare parts but the armor?? ESCA.. ? I THOUGHT PROBABLY
that airport doesnt look like its being used . decoys all of it
why has Biden not told Russia not to fire above 60km??
In a perfect world, the jets destroyed were junked platforms and/or decoys.
Mabye they were decoys
Why were they parked so close together?
there is not a lot of rubber on the runway if it was being used there would be rubber where the planes touch down
If you need a smaller airfield think of aircraft carrers, a lunch device to accelerate the jet on the ground.
A canopy that channels the thrust of the jet, like open opposite sides and a bit smaller at the back end.
Sort of like a cowling on the exhaust end but for the whole jet.
Just keep in mind that these kinds of daytime attacks are not included in those massive barrage figures. So, that explains why we see smaller wave attacks despite all reputable sources reporting an increase in missile production numbers. The Russians are using these missiles more and more in the battlefield in daytime , not for strategic bombing campaigns. This and the fact that Russians no longer have access to the huge pre war stocks.
2:15 i THOUGHT was a ESCA BY +100 KAZAKI PLANES BUYING FROM USA
Given Ukrainian form for consistently surprising us (and the Russians) with their clever use of weapons systems etc,
And given the fact that the Ukr knew about the surveillance drones, I would highly doubt this is incompetence on Ukraines part.
More likely trying to find out how the Russians will respond when they spot F16.
Valuable information to know how long it takes the enemy to put fire on a target. Definitely worth an elaborate baiting tactic with decoys or whatever.
Thats my hope and I shall stick with it until proven otherwise 🤞
Quick look at Wikipedia shows it’s a former airbase and museum of aviation. Could have been recommissioned for the war, but why recommission that when you can invest in airfields further west and less vulnerable? Unless it’s part of a dispersal plan. The wiki article does say there are bunkers. 🤷🏻♂️
Article Last edited 7 months ago so not done after this attack.
👋
How are they ever going to protect the f16?
Why are valuable Ukrainian SU27's jets left unprotected on their airfields so close to the frontline? Iskandr and Calibr missiles are very effective and so Ukraine will be degraded if airfields are not proteced by NASAMS or IRIS-T or Patriot systems.....
I’m surprised this sort of stuff doesn’t happen more often to AFU.
Have to ask Ukraine why they have not already been building at the very least earthwork revetments around their open air aircraft.
"It's not as bad as it appears ..." is a poor russian style attempt at spin control.
Algo
Also algo...
Sup bois
Report Johnathan don’t judge 😡
It's my channel, with all due respect.
Unless I'm missing something, the decoy theory should be kaput? What was the goal there, hope the Russians lower their missile stocks in trade for having at least your runways cratered? Cmon
Why don't you just look at Google earth. Instead of reporting Russian. Lies
