Taken from the VK of a russian guy by the name of Victor Imantovich Alxnis:

Official message of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation:
"On August 9, at about 15.20, on the territory of the Saki airfield near the Novofedorovka settlement, several aviation ammunition detonated on a bunded storage site.
No one was injured in the explosion. Aviation equipment at the airport was not damaged.
Measures are being taken to extinguish the fire and find out the causes of the explosion.
According to the report from the site, there was no fire impact on the bunded ammunition storage area at the airfield."
On Aug. 11, US aerospace company Maxar Technologies released satellite imagery that shows the extent of the destruction at Russia's Saki air base at Novofedorovka in Crimea, caused by a series of explosions on Aug. 9.
On August 11, the American company Planet Labs published two satellite images of the Saki airfield. One was taken on August 9, a few hours before the explosions, and the second on August 10 after the explosions at the airbase.
According to experts, based on the results of the analysis of satellite images, it was established that up to 9 Su-30 fighters and Su-24M bombers were destroyed as a result of explosions at the air base.
I don’t understand why the RF Ministry of Defense misinformed the public, realizing that it is impossible to hide the real consequences of the explosions?
