The air base of the 831st tactical aviation brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Mirgorod, Poltava region, was destroyed by a precise strike of Kh-22 missiles.

According to Ukrainian sources, as a result of four strikes, there is serious damage, while the aircraft used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to strike with AGM-88A anti-radar missiles did not even save the special concrete shelters in which the aircraft were located.

It is known that Russian tactical air strikes were launched this afternoon, while a number of sources claim that during the attack, the air raid alarm was activated after the first strikes were delivered. This points to the fact that Ukraine not only cannot shoot down such missiles, but is also unable to detect them. This is primarily due to the fact that Kh-22 missiles are capable of reaching speeds of more than 4 km/h, which even NATO countries do not have air defense systems to counter.

At the moment, it remains unknown how many aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force were destroyed as a result of the strikes, however, before that, there was information that 4 MiG-29 fighters were modernized for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, capable of launching American cruise missiles AGM-88.
