15 March satellite imagery @planet of Kherson Airport appears to show a number of #Russia ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บhelicopters destroyed or damaged following reported #Ukraine ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ strike (46.67358ยฐ N, 32.50764ยฐ E)
The new @planet imagery of Kherson airport also provides first clear look at aftermath of previous 6/7 March reported overnight raid by #Ukraine ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ forces. While claims #Russia ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ lost 30 helicopters remain unverified, some losses are still apparent.

Remains of #Russia ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ 3M14 Kalibr land-attack cruise missile, reportedly in Kyiv #Ukraine ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
The 3M14 designation is specifically associated with the naval (surface and sub-surface) launched Kalibr LACM

Not that I would totally rule out an #Russia ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ 3M14 launched from a ground-launcher but not reopening the 9M729 INF treaty debate today๐Ÿคญ

Interesting @planet imagery showing multiple impacts on Ozerne air base #Ukraine ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

Notable at least two strikes that apparently failed to target the runaway.
I have identified at least two further impacts points at Ozerne air base #Ukraine ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ImageImageImage
@Cen4infoRes Despite questionable accuracy of #Russia ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บstrikes against Ozerne air base, it seem one impact may have resulted in destruction of a #Ukraine ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Air Force Su-27 Flanker

#NorthKorea claims test launch of new Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) system
Would appear to be this SAM system that debuted at the October 2020 parade
Note the difference between the launch cannisters of the apparent new SAM (top) and KN-06 / Pon'gae-5 (bottom)

#NorthKorea claims successful test launches of newly developed long-range cruise missile on 11 & 12 September
A reminder #NorthKorea publicly confirmed cruise missile development at the January 2021 8th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK)
In Oct 2020 and again in Jan 2021 #NorthKorea paraded a new launchers which @IISS_org reported as reminiscent of a ground-launched land-attack cruise-missile system with a tubes considered too long and thin for SAM. iiss.org/blogs/militaryโ€ฆ

I hate to rain on anyone's #NorthKorea 9th Sept military parade expectations but...

(a short thread)

bloomberg.com/news/articles/โ€ฆ
#NorthKorea military parades are typically reserved for significant (+5/10 year) anniversaries of significant events in its relatively short history.

So a 9 Sept 2021 parade for 'only' the the 73rd anniversary of the "Foundation of the Republic" doesn't quite fit

However...
A decade ago #NorthKorea made an exception with a military parade for the 63rd "Foundation of the Republic" anniversary

63rd bit.ly/3l6xnR8 2011

This was one of Kim Jong Il last appearance, having missed the 2008 (60th) parade amid speculation over failing health.
