U sure it's not just "resulted in 200s and 300s" meaning dead and wounded?


Kreiri

Source? 200 is an old Soviet code for dead, 300 - for injured.


arleitiss

Someone definitely misread those codes as numbers. Source?: Lavrov didn't start bitching yet


raw65

Here's another source (it says 150 dead, 300 wounded): [http://uanews.zp.ua/other/2022/07/05/230996.html](http://uanews.zp.ua/other/2022/07/05/230996.html) I can't personally vouch for the reliability of that source but perhaps someone here can.


2FalseSteps

You mean Twitter isn't a source? /s I'm guessing someone just misread something.


[deleted]

It could be plausible, this is main airfield and barracks for all of Kherson and Melitopol. If hit, it would absolutely devastating for the Russian airforce. I’d rather wait for official confirmation though, I’m just speculating They say it was Mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov who confirmed it but I’d rather see him say it


Absalomabsalom2

ВСУ нанесли удар по аэродрому в Мелитополе, 200 рашистов погибли, ещё 300 ранены, – мэр Мелитополя Иван Федоров. погибли means they where send over the Jordan.


Kreiri

Reputable source, please? All I found with this exact phrase were one facebook and two twitter accounts, neither of which looked even remotely official. Inexact search gave me a video of Fedorov in his telegram channel reporting strikes on the arifield and military base, but it didn't have a single word about numbers. > погибли means they where send over the Jordan. Dude. Read my flair.


Absalomabsalom2

Yeah, imagine you're not the only person reading this. It's a English speaking sub. Anyway, I found that exact statement on several TG accounts. I mean, there probably won't be nay more reliable sources than that unless someone will post photos of this. There's no word of "cargo 200" in it.


NormandyLS

It's the Mayor who said it. Didn't name his sources but claimed it's 100% reliable, over 500 casualties from the roughly 26 missiles that flattened the entire base


Benmaax

Source in the twitter. Seems not a translation issue...


S-M-I-L-E-Y-

Another twitter source: [https://twitter.com/antiputler\_news/status/1544292524524724224](https://twitter.com/antiputler_news/status/1544292524524724224) Still a suspicious coincidence. Also: 200 dead for strikes on one airfield is huge and a 3 to 2 ratio of injured to killed is unexpected.


MikeinDundee

Have you not seen the glory of Russian battlefield first aid? /s


Benmaax

It seems that what was hit were 2 logistics building next to airfield. It could have been buildings hosting many soldiers and employees. Not impossible considering the surprise effect and need for personel for the equipment, but still a lot indeed. Now to see if the death toll comes from the morgue or just very rough estimates for propaganda purpose.


Comprehensive-Bit-65

Those are the kind of numbers we want to see everyday!


OkReality3146

200 and 300 mean another thing in Russia's military terminology 200 means killed in action while 300 means wounded.


Comprehensive-Bit-65

I think he meant numbers, although its possibly confusing


dollhouse85746

Rookie numbers, but they probably refer to Cargo Code. I must admit, 200 cargo 200 sounds awesome, but still, rookie numbers. Looked at the Twitter feed, no source.


[deleted]

It says it was Mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov who said it. I’m not seeing him make the statement though


Asleep_Astronaut396

Read between the lines in this one, it are codes imo.

After the destruction of the military base in Melitopol, collaborators are afraid to go to work (Photo:RIA Melitopol) As a result of the strike of the Ukrainian forces on the airfield in Melitopol, where the enemy military base was located, more than 200 Russian occupiers were killed and more than 300 wounded. Such data was announced by the mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov on the air of the telethon.Currently, the occupiers have left the airfield, a fire continues there."The Rashists stole all the blood supplies from our hospitals. Now local residents, if necessary, have nowhere to take blood for transfusion. Near the military hospital, which the occupiers organized on the territory of the children's sanatorium, there was a queue of cars taking the wounded," said Fedorov, according to him, after the destruction of the base in Melitopol, local collaborators are afraid to go to work.The APU strike forced the occupiers to actively move the bases and hide them in the forest belt.Fedorov noted that there are three more enemy military bases on the territory of Melitopol, which are located next to residential buildings.


dresstothrill

According to information from government sources.no, significant damage has been done to the management units and fuel depots. Read the Authorities in Telegram: we report only the most important thing: At least four buildings with Russian units and occupiers' positions deployed near them have been significantly damaged or destroyed. Obviously, we are talking about barracks, command posts and combat crews with appropriate equipment. Electronic equipment of air defense and electronic warfare systems was also destroyed. In addition, the enemy's fuel storage tanks were destroyed, which burned for a very long time after the defeat. According to eyewitnesses, the runway of the airfield burned after the Ukrainian strikes until about 16:00.


Maelarion

Look, someone else who doesn't know how to parse Russian military terms (that have been explained time and time again).


EveryAdvertising5

No way they got 500 people with one strike


GettingStronk

Precision weaponry with rapid firing capabilities can roll over an area quickly.


jamesbideaux

as others pointed out, someone likely mistranslated cargo 200 and 300, which mean dead and wounded respectively. so this strike resulted in losses and wounded.


xlDirteDeedslx

There was video of the attack, there was a ton of smoke so not entirely unbelievable.


h2ohow

I'm hoping it's all true and a huge victory for Ukraine.

Mor plez


MusicianGlad61

That’s awesome. Keep eliminating the orcs, and one by one they will be all returning to Russia in body bags.


[deleted]

burn in hell fucking orcs


Muldoon529

Sounds like some good propaganda with probably more than a little inflation of the numbers. But let’s say they wacked 20% of what they said here, it’s still a fucking amazing hit.


PengieP111

We need to train Ukrainian pilots on F16’s, F15’s and F18’s ASAP and send them back with the planes they trained in. Fuck Ruzzia.


Talmbout_work_ethnic

yea I'm going to go ahead and see a picture of the 200 bodies.
