Details: Skhemy noted that the satellite recorded damage to military equipment at the airfield, most likely the Russian S-300/S-400 air defence system, which consists of launchers and radars. 

„Judging by the satellite photos, one of the S-300/S-400 systems was hit, while the others were redeployed from the area,“ they said. 

The fact that this system was located there is evidenced by an image from 27 April.

Background:

On the night of 29-30 April, local residents said that explosions were heard in occupied Crimea, namely in Simferopol, Hvardiiske and Dzhankoi.
