Narrative:
On 18 July 2025, a Ukrainian Civil Air Patrol was likely destroyed
during a combat mission
to combat a Russian drone attack targeting aviation infrastructure in Odessa Oblast.
At least two crew members, Polkovnik Konstantin Victorovich"Kamikaze" OBORIN and Starshyi serzhant Roman Valentinovich KUTSENKO were killed as a result.
Oborin was an experienced pilot and a veteran of both the Soviet-Afghan War,
as well as the Chernobyl military recovery operation,
as well as being the head of the Odessa Aeroclub,
and Odessa branch of the Civil Air Patrol of Ukraine.
A Ukrainian drone attack on an air base in the Crimean peninsula has destroyed a Russian fighter jet and damaged several others, the Ukrainian security service SBU said.
The drone attack on Monday night was a special operation targeting an aircraft depot at the Saky air base on the annexed peninsula, according to the SBU.
One Sukhoi Su-30 aircraft was completely destroyed and another was damaged. Three more Su-24 aircraft and an arms depot were hit in the attack.
The Saky air base plays a central role in the Black Sea region and the damage after the Ukrainian attack is considered by the SBU to be “considerable”.
The data could not be confirmed by independent sources. The Russian Defense Ministry said that 61 Ukrainian drones were shot down on Monday night, of which 18 were flying over the Black Sea, reports the Spanish news agency EFE.
At the Novofedorovka or Saky airbase, a Russian air regiment from the Russian Navy is based. It has about 24 Su-24s and Su-30s. It has been subjected to Ukrainian attacks several times.
Previously, Ukraine has primarily attacked the air defenses of Crimea, where several Big Bird radars and robot ramps have been destroyed. Several command centers have also been attacked.
It is possible that the attacks are now led by the S-100D Argus AEW&C. It can then only use its sensors with the radar turned off.
The last line
It is possible that the attacks are now led by the S-100D Argus AEW&C. It can then only use its sensors with the radar turned off.
Should be
It is possible that the attacks could be led by the S-100D Argus AEW&C from Ukrainan territory. Normally is the radar used. But the radar could be switched of and the S-100D only use the sensors.
This happened the same time as the Ukrainan drone attacks occured.
True or face?
And the same information with the source language.
OSNAZ. In anticipation of the massive drone attack on Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory, the Black Sea was very restless.
A British RC-135W reconnaissance aircraft was operating in the air south of Crimea, which at a certain point flew to a distance of 40 km to the Crimean Peninsula.
But even more interesting is that a French E-3F AWACS aircraft was operating in radio silence 100 km south of Yalta, which is extremely unusual for it.
As it turned out, there were six tactical aircraft in the same area (4 Rafale of the French Aerospace Forces and 2 F-16 of the Belgian Air Force), which, in addition to covering reconnaissance, were conditionally practicing launching on Russian territory.
The appearance of Belgian tactical fighters is generally a unique event, and the fact that they were practicing maneuvers simultaneously with AWACS and SIGINT aircraft, the range of whose onboard equipment exceeds 500 km, is very significant.
And after this comprehensive training, the Ukrainian side immediately began to strike with drones, which once again confirms the connection between NATO flights and subsequent attacks.
ОСНАЗ. В преддверии массированного налета беспилотников на Крым и Краснодарский край в Черном море было очень неспокойно.
В воздухе южнее Крыма действовал британский самолет-разведчик RC-135W, который в определенный момент долетел на расстояние 40 км к Крымскому полуострову.
Но еще более интересно, что в режиме радиомолчания в 100 км южнее Ялты функционировал французский самолет ДРЛО Е-3F, что крайне нетипично для него.
Как оказалось, в этом же районе было шесть самолетов тактической авиации (4 Rafale ВКС Франции и 2 F-16 ВВС Бельгии), которые, помимо прикрытия разведки, условно отрабатывали пуск по российским территориям.
Появление бельгийских тактических истребителей вообще событие уникальное, и то, что они отрабатывали маневры одновременно с ДРЛО и самолетов РЭР, дальность бортового оборудования которых превышает 500 км – весьма показательно.
И после этой комплексной тренировки украинская сторона сразу же приступила к нанесению удара дронами, что в очередной раз подтверждает связь между полетами НАТО и последующими атаками.

This information is from a Russian source as the aircraft identification.
Not so different from western information.
The aircraft tracks are today more over NATO countries as the listening positions.
