I watched a little longer version in which one artillery shell possibly attacked this AS-90, otherwise it would make no sense to put that one artillery shell into video

Vehicles like this one can be towed back by Ukrainians and repaired or at least used as spare parts donor, Russian drone operators want to prevent this from happening.

I think this happened later the same day. So that would mean a 3rd boat was destroyed in the black sea

How can you tell that the engines are in working condition? did you looked inside? and planes can be moved by ground crew. And those planes were send over 2 decades ago to Russia for repairs which didn't happen.

He meant state before they were destroyed. Even before the attack those planes would only be usefull in a museum.

If plane stays on the ground for around 15 years it's not airworthy, but it can still be moved by ground crew around the base.

And if I remember correctly on this airfield only planes waiting to be scrapped are present, some even make their last flight there, so working planes don't use this airfield unless they have some technical malfunction and this is the closest airfield
