On January 6, 2024, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Ivanovich Chornobryvyi was eliminated in the Ukrainian Armed Forces aircraft attack on the Saki military airfield.
Information on his elimination was published on the Myrotvorets website.
Chornobryvyi served as Deputy Commander of the 43rd Separate Naval Assault Aviation Regiment (military unit #59882), which was stationed at the Saky Air Base in Crimea.
A Separate Naval Assault Aviation Regiment operates Su-24М bombers and Su-30SM fighter jets, which are involved in attacks on the territory of Ukraine.
The elimination of Chornobryvyi took place during an attack by the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles on the Russian command post at the Saky Air Base in temporarily occupied Crimea on January 6, 2024.
According to the military, Ukrainian missiles flew to Crimea at about 00:30 am on January 6.
On January 6, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the launch of Ukrainian airborne guided missiles at targets in Crimea.
In addition, two days before the attack on the Saky Air Base, on January 4, 2024, the AFU’s aircraft struck at the deployment of Russian radar surveillance and communications units.
The military unit 03121 of the 31st Air Defense Division, near the city of Sevastopol, where the 222nd Air Defense Communication Center of the Russian Black Sea Fleet is located, was hit.
The territory of the military unit with the stationary 5N84A Oborona-14 radar post (45.201653, 33.320523) in Yevpatoriya was also struck.
It was later reported that as a result of this attack, the Russian colonel Vadim Nailyovich Ismagilov, Commander of the 3rd Signals Intelligence Regiment (military unit #85683) of the Aerospace Forces of the Russian Federation, was eliminated.
Due to the increased number of military facilities in Crimea, as well as the use of the peninsula as a transportation hub for supplying Russian Armed Forces units with equipment and weapons, the Ukrainian Armed Forces increased the number of attacks on military facilities located there.
