Radio Liberty called Sevastopol port the main military object. Journalists also found 10 airfields on the peninsula where fighter jets and bombers used for blows in Ukraine. Radio Liberty journalists have collected and analyzed more than 150 Russian military facilities in occupied Crimea with Planet Labs satellite images. This helped the media to study military bases, aerodromes, locations of air defense systems (air defense) and ships of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation.

About it reports the site of the publication. One of the main military objects of Crimea is the Sevastopol port. Before a full -scale invasion of Russia, not only the Black Sea but also the Baltic and Northern Navy threw ships here.

In particular, with the help of satellite images for November 9, journalists were able to identify large landing ships (number 1135, 1175, 775), patrol ships (number 22160), missile boats (number 1239, 1241) and one cruiser (number 11356) Admiral Makarov or its analogue "Admiral Essen". Journalists say that there are part of the missile vessels near the Netherlands Bay, through which the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launch the caliber missiles in the Ukrainian territory.

Experts said that "calibers" are also stored in the Crimean military warehouses, which can become a potential place for future attacks of the Ukrainian army. After the Armed Forces stopped the offensive of the Russian army in the south of Ukraine, the object became for Russia the main logistics hub and the place of basement of shock helicopters KA-52, Mi-28, Mi-35, Mi-8. The airfield is also often accepted by cargo planes and Su-25 assault.

It is located near the occupied Sevastopol and for the most part there are fighters. In particular, satellite images on November 15 showed that there are Su-27, Su-27 cm, Su-34 and MiG-31 at the airfield. On the object, Russia has placed one of the main air groups. Su-25 and Su-24 bombers are concentrated there. It is these planes most often used for the task of strikes in the territory of Ukraine. In total, journalists counted 10 current airfields in the Crimea, as well as 2 aircraft.

Each of them has ammunition and fuel containers. Ukrainian military experts believe that in the future there will be new explosions in the Crimea. The choice of target for blows will depend on where the tactical causes and degree of Russian defense will be. We will remind, on December 9 in the Air Force of the Armed Forces said that the Russian Federation dispensed its strategic aviation after explosions at aerodromes.
