❗️ 🇷🇺🇺🇦 Combined attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Crimean Peninsula - progress of the Ukrainian Armed Forces operation
After conducting a thorough reconnaissance operation and a drone raid, Ukrainian formations launched an attack on the Crimean Peninsula from the second half of yesterday until this morning.
🔻At least three Su-24M bombers from the Starokonstantinov airfield and several more Su-27 and MiG-29 fighters from the Kanatovo airfield flew towards the Nikolaev region.
▪️ Upon reaching Bashtanka, Ukrainian fighters fired ADM-160 MALD decoy missiles, which distracted air defense systems.
▪️ Simultaneously, AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missiles were tested in the Kherson region at a maximum range of 150 km.
🔻Following this, six Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles were launched from the Su-24M towards Crimea. One was shot down over Krasnoperekopsk, and another one over Gvardeyskoye.
▪️ The third missile was intercepted by a Su-30 fighter 50 km northwest of Sevastopol, and three more were intercepted while approaching Sevastopol - specifically, the Belbek airfield.
▪️ After that, the Ukrainian bombers made a second circle and fired six more cruise missiles towards the Belbek airfield. The targets, coming from the sea and passing Tarkhankut, were intercepted: three northwest of Sevastopol, two over the airfield, and one directly above the ground. The debris of the intercepted missile crashed into the ground and detonated without causing damage to the runway.
🔻During the night, the attack of Ukrainian formations continued. Nine unmanned boats left Odessa and the mouth of the Danube River in the direction of Crimea.
▪️ Russian sailors discovered four of them at the entrance to Lake Donuzlav and opened fire, resulting in the destruction of four drones.
▪️ One of the BeKs exploded near the side of the boat, causing damage. The extent of the damage is currently unknown. Two patrol boats, two helicopters, and a fighter jet were dispatched to search for the remaining four drones. During the operation, they were hit and scuttled.
❗️From this attack, it is evident that the Ukrainian air forces specifically targeted the airfield network on the peninsula: Dzhankoy, Gvardeyskoye, and Belbek. Considering that Storms/Scalps have a penetrating effect, the likely targets of the attack were control posts.
Furthermore, a few hours earlier, an Italian G-550 AWACS aircraft of the Italian Air Force, along with five more US and NATO reconnaissance aircraft, were operating in the air off the coast of Romania. Additionally, the air defense of Crimea was checked with drones the day before the raid.
The enemy's change in tactics is quite interesting: instead of immediate strikes as before, the Ukrainian Armed Forces intentionally delayed the launch of missiles, resulting in the duration of the missile threat exceeding two hours.
The subsequent attack by unmanned boats took place after a long break, further confirming the enemy's intention to target the Black Sea Fleet with the ultimate goal of weakening its capabilities.
