Impact verdict

Low impact. Loss is confined to state-owned Russian military combat aircraft and airfield infrastructure at a base in occupied Crimea. Russian military equipment is self-insured and excluded from international commercial aviation and war-risk markets under prevailing sanctions and conflict exclusions. No civilian, commercial, or dual-use assets are reported damaged, and no credible route to an insured loss approaching USD 100m has been identified.
