The orcs were actually hit worse than "just" two MiGs and a fuel storage facility:

Besides having been hit twice in two nights, Belbek is relatively close to the front line, i.e. a vulnerable "easy" target. That two planes are still there suggests, as is pointed out in the video, that they have been damaged enough to need repair before flying off to less dangerous environs.

As Russia Advances, NATO Considers Sending Trainers Into Ukraine
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/16/us/politics/nato-ukraine.html
--- Quote ---NATO allies are inching closer to sending troops into Ukraine to train Ukrainian forces, a move that would be another blurring of a previous red line and could draw the United States and Europe more directly into the war.
Ukraine’s manpower shortage has reached a critical point, and its position on the battlefield in recent weeks has seriously worsened as Russia has accelerated its advances to take advantage of delays in shipments of American weapons. As a result, Ukrainian officials have asked their American and NATO counterparts to help train 150,000 new recruits closer to the front line for faster deployment.
So far the United States has said no, but Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on Thursday that a NATO deployment of trainers appeared inevitable. “We’ll get there eventually, over time,” he said.

Or way too early, for those of us who don't want NATO boots in Ukraine, ever. :shrug:
