Crimean airfield, possibly used by Putin, sees explosions as Alligator war helicopters are stored there.

In the town of Dzhankoi, a series of explosions illuminated the night sky, causing widespread panic and concern. It was later revealed that the blasts originated from a Russian military airfield, known to be a storage hub for President Vladimir Putin's prized 'Alligator' helicopters. The intense flames captured on Telegram footage were a result of an air-raid warning being issued in the area.

The fire raged for hours, creating a dangerous situation for the nearby airfield. This location serves as a crucial logistics center for Russian forces, allowing them to launch attacks on Ukrainian battalions and defend against special service landings. The Ka-52 Alligator, often referred to as 'Putin's Vulture,' has been a formidable weapon for Russia during their ongoing conflict with Ukraine.

This attack helicopter is a symbol of Russia's military prowess, boasting impressive capabilities such as a top speed of 186 miles per hour and an operational range of 684 miles. It is designed for various combat roles, including reconnaissance, assault, convoy protection, and patrolling. The Ka-52 can also be equipped with a range of weapons, from unguided rockets to air-to-air missiles and anti-tank guided missiles.

Based on the footage of the explosion and fire, it appears that ammunition and fuel stores were targeted, possibly causing secondary detonations. Despite the destruction, there have been no reports of casualties. According to an online aviation database, the 39th helicopter regiment of the 27th mixed aviation division, which is known to operate the Ka-52 Alligator, is stationed at this airfield.

The attack in Dzhankoi occurred in the early hours of the morning, and there has been no official statement from Russian officials in the occupied region. The aftermath of the attack resulted in a closure of a major highway, and there are rumors that Ukrainian forces may be responsible. However, no official statement has been made by Ukraine.

Pro-war channels on Telegram have been sharing information about the attack, suggesting that it was carried out by the enemy using an ATACMS missile. These claims are still being investigated, and the true circumstances of the attack are yet to be determined.
