Basically - so Russian airstrikes on Ukranian airbases failed as they obviously missed their targets ... looks there is jamming of terminal guidance of russian missiles now at ukranian bases, causing russian missiles and drones to miss ...

I was going to make the effort to explain the post since it was very clear he completely misunderstood the point, but then I didn't want to waste my time and effort lol.
Honestly, the photos might be a little deceiving and we can't really see the extent of the true damage, but it just seems like the Storm Shadow/SCALP EG CM doesn't really pack a punch for the size of the cruise missile. I would've thought the hole/crater would've been larger than that. But then again, like I said, that is very thick reinforced concrete and penetrating factors of the ordinance are not as strong as bunker-busting type munitions and photo might be a little deceiving.
Also, interesting to see a SCALP mounted on a Su-24.
EDIT: This view from this angle shows a considerable amount of damage. That hole is certainly deceiving.

It is quite telling that Russia never provides any air or satellite reconnaissance images to prove its claims. Russias ability to do battle assessment must be close to non-existent inside Ukraine.

We will need actual proof - satellite photo's of actual operational destroyed aircraft ..... We always see proof of Ukraines claims - but the russians never provide because they can't.

Didn't notice the difference at first until you pointed it out.
I see that now, you're right.

You bring up a good point. Who do you suppose would be the NATO operator of this Su-24? It has Ukraine insignia on it.

Military Summary is a pro russian channel. He is into conspiracy and doesnt really need proof:
Russian MOD said 12 missiles launched and they shot down 9 .. bullshit.
12 missiles require 6 planes, and Russia destroyed the airfield where they are stationed .. bullshit.
Only logical conclusion is they take off from NATO territory .. bullshit.
But that us how the pro russians try to explain why Russia havent succeeded yet.
