Targeted Attack Damages Two Beriev Be-12 Aircraft
Ukraine’s Defense Forces have reported a successful strike against Russian aviation assets in occupied Crimea, damaging two Beriev Be-12 amphibious aircraft at a military repair facility in Yevpatoria. The facility is used to maintain and overhaul Russian naval aviation platforms operating over the Black Sea. The extent of the damage is still being assessed, but the loss of these aircraft could be significant, given the limited number of operational airframes. The attack is part of a broader effort by Ukraine to target Russian military assets in the region. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
