A short time ago, a Ukrainian patriot interceptor attempted to shoot down a Russian Su-34 near Chaplynka, Kherson Oblast, which was attempting to conducting a bombing run on Kherson City.

The attempt failed, and the Su-34 (covered by a Su-35 which was circling near Henichesk in a cover position) flew back to Maykop Airbase, Republic of Adygea.

A few minutes later, a second Su-34 covered by a another Su-35 flew on a different route past the Kherson-Crimea border, launching 2-3 KAB glide-bombs from north of Kalanchak, Kherson Oblast. The KABs impacted the northern suburbs of Kherson.

Currently, a third Su-34 is en route to the launch lines via Henichesk, and will also carry out launches of glide-bombs to Kherson.

Now we know Ukraine has deployed one of their valuable Patriot batteries to Kherson Oblast. This tactic has proven successful in shooting down Russian aircraft in the past, so Russia will likely be trying to hunt down and strike the system now.
