Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate released onboard drone footage July 4 confirming the destruction of a Russian MiG-29 at Belbek airbase in occupied Crimea — one strike in a six-day campaign that has now hit six of Russia’s seven airfields on the peninsula. Former F-15E combat pilot Ryan Bodenheimer breaks down Ukraine’s systematic air campaign against Russian aviation in Crimea, including the Hornet AI drone, the new balloon-launch system that doubles strike range at 5% battery cost, and what Russia’s degraded order of battle actually looks like right now. From Belbek to Saky to Hvardiiske — the sequencing is the story.
