Ukraine deliberately beats military sites in Crimea so that the Russian Federation is thrown there more air defense - isw
"Permanent Ukrainian blows to Russian military sites in occupied Crimea seem to be forced to throw additional air defense tools to the Crimea to protect existing bases and logistics infrastructure, and subsequent Ukrainian blows on such air defense can make the peninsula unsuitable as a bridgehead. Russian military, "the report reads.
Analysts cited the words of the head of the Main Directorate of Military Intelligence of Ukraine Kiril Budanov that Russian troops had placed in Crimea a system of air defense C-500 in the framework of efforts aimed at strengthening Russian air defense above Crimea. And the Forbes reported that the Belbek airfield in the occupied Crimea became a "trap of exhaustion" for Russian air defense after several successful Ukrainian blows on airborne air defense near the airfield.
According to ISW experts, Russian forces are likely to use barges around the Crimean bridge to protect against the strikes of Ukrainian naval drones. "The current efforts of Ukraine to strengthen the Russian air defense umbrella in Crimea, in particular, can lead to the fact that more Russian air defense agents will be transferred to Crimea, which will make them vulnerable to further strikes by Ukraine," the report said.
The ISW also reminded that Ukrainian troops weaken Russian air defense in order to allow Ukraine to use piloted aviation more efficiently, in particular, F-16 fighters, in the long run. We will remind, on June 13, ISW analysts reported that the atomic submarine with the winged rockets "Kazan" in Cuba is called to intimidate the event and the USA.
