Russia fired a barrage of missiles at a key Ukrainian air base on Wednesday, per official sources.
The jets are believed to be the only ones that can carry the UK-supplied Storm Shadow missile.
Yuriy Inhat, a spokesperson for Ukraine's Air Force Command, said on Telegram that Russia had unleashed a massive barrage towards the Starokostiantyniv air base in Khmelnytskyi, in western Ukraine.
In total, Ukrainian air defenses shot down 36 cruise missiles, Inhat said in his post.
Starokostiantyniv is, according to Forbes, the base for the only regiment that flies the Su-24 aircraft that carry the UK-supplied Storm Shadow missile.
