https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2025/03/27/the-triple-tap-raid-on-the-engels-bomber-base-cost-russia-96-billion/ $960 million worth of equipment destroyed, so 0.7% if Russia's entire (official) military budget lost in a single set of attacks. In fairness, getting to the point where Ukraine could repeatedly hit of Russia's biggest and more important airbases certainly took a lot of preparation destroying anti-air systems between Ukraine and that airbase. But still, impressive.
There's plenty of geolocates footage of the attack and its consequences. Not hard to figure out how much explosives likely went off and compare it to likely sources. https://video.nostr.build/fa520739eaf3c21eb839e4735ccb93eb7bdeee584c4628c6b8d1ada7741fa206.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/474ce69fa1c3172e296ad42aad217b76db76dace6451be53098dea11e3c0bcb1.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/c9f474ac0922e2f60ffd616637ca8227418bec096c03767631db1ab243c7de87.mp4
"no noticable secondary explosions" Dude, we have solid evidence there was a massive shockwave that damaged buildings hundreds of meters outside the base. Just look at the videos. Obviously, Ukraine blew up a lot of Russian explosives; nothing Ukraine can deliver has that much punch.
