"Massive mystery explosion". No mystery - clearly another Orc smoking accident.

So 5 SU-34 and 1 SU-30SM downed in a couple of days.
Luckily they built thou ... hundr ... less than 200.
F-35, introduced 1-2 years later, has had over 1,000 built and the US alone will buy over 2,000. Meanwhile the world's premium air defence *cough* lie scattered throughout Ukraine, destroyed by a country with a token airforce.

The Russian channel was on a rampage today. According to reliable Russian news, 6 F16s were shot down in Odessa alone. They'll announce it by New Year's Eve. 
When they lose, they always beat the Ukrainians by at least a room.
All that happened is that today the Ukrainians shot down a Su34 with Mariupol, which is a very interesting header. Either there are too many Patriots, or they are very mobile, or they are very well placed, but the Russians could not find out, or it is really the F-16s that are doing the job, and what is more, it is F-16s with AIM 120D AMRAAMs. I don't know which. However, they also have an unconfirmed legi victory over the Black Sea west of Crimea, a Su 30. If both legi victories are true, they would have needed two Patriots.
So the Ukrainians are at their lowest level, and they don't want to be.
Somewhere I read that they didn't need AWACS for that, but they moved a separate (less valuable) radar close to the front line, keeping the Patriot radar turned off. The smaller radar indicated the approach of the 3 planes from about 50km (about where the glide bombs would have been launched from), from there they had the initial target data, turned it off and turned on the Patriot radar further from the front and launched. Supposedly they had already shot down a Su-24 using this method, that was the dress rehearsal. An important addendum is that in order for the glide bombs to get that far, the Su-34 launches from quite a high altitude, about 12km, so it's not that hard to spot/no OTH problem. Since the planes had been bombing the bridgehead area for a long time, they knew about where to take the radar. The 3 planes carried about 18 glide bombs, so they not only shot down the planes, but prevented a heavy bombardment.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has confirmed that the Ropucha-Class amphibious landing ship, Novocherkassk (BDK-46) was damaged last night by a Ukrainian air-Launched cruise missile attack on the port of Feodosia in Eastern Crimea; however they do not state how severe the damage is or if the vessel was sunk.
Ukrainian troops attacked the port in Feodosia with cruise missiles on the night of December 26, the head of Crimea Sergei Aksenov made a corresponding statement. It is not reported what object was attacked, but a powerful explosion occurred on the port territory; perhaps a military warehouse was attacked. According to the governor, the area of the city port has been cordoned off due to the incident. According to him, at this moment the detonation, it is not specified what exactly, has been stopped, and the fire that arose as a result of the attack has been localized. All relevant services are on site. According to the latest data, the Russian BDK "Novocherkassk" of Project 775 was damaged.
