Ukraine fired multiple (probably) Neptune missiles into a Crimea airfield https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-360_Neptune https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-360_Neptune One of the more optomistic estimates show losses at: 12 Su-27 and Su-30 fighters, 5 Su-24 bombers and 6 Mi-8 helicopters. Other people saying only 6x Su-24 and 3x Su-30 https://gagadget.com/en/war/156317-12-su-27-and-su-30-fighters-5-su-24-bombers-and-6-mi-8-helicopters-russian-aviation-losses-at-the-airfield-in-crimea-/ https://gagadget.com/en/war/156317-12-su-27-and-su-30-fighte...

  You mean the missile part or the loss estimates? Ukraine claimed it was a 'locally made weapon' and they don't have anything else with this much power based on the explosions. At least that's what the experts I follow on Twitter are claiming. Lots of people claiming ATACMS which I doubt.

    It can be also Grim ballistic missile, actually. More or less equivalent of Iskander.

    Was ATACMS sold to Ukraine?

Neptune has a 150kg warhead, and the sat images show craters the size of a Suchoi, so ~20m(?). I am really not an expert but that seems a bit of a huge hole for a relatively modest warhead. The Hrim-2 (Grim/Grom) reportedly has a 500kg warhead. Maybe someone can correct me, but it seems more likely to me.

  That would actually make sense, fits the role of the weapon more than an anti-ship missile, I wasn't familiar with Grim.

    Well, nobody before this month thought that any were operational, so not really your fault.

Very off topic, but this really bugs me. The last clip there is a portrait orientation video inside a landscape inside a portrait inside a landscape. The remaining video appears on my 24 inch monitor at the physical size of a phone.
