⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦📜 @Rybar on "Probing" Crimea's Defences⚡️
Almost immediately after the RF Armed Forces withdrew to the left bank of the Dnipro River and abandoned #Kherson, Ukrainian formations focused their efforts on conducting reconnaissance and assessing the state of defence on the Crimean peninsula.
♦️ What are we talking about?
▪️ Almost daily from early November to the second decade of December, commercial UAVs (such as the Mugin-5), "artificially" equipped with grenades, flew from the #Odessa region in the direction of #Crimea and #Sevastopol.
The reason for choosing these drones is obvious: they are cheap, accessible and can fly at predetermined coordinates at relatively low altitudes.
▪️ In addition, the Ukrainian command has adapted conventional aerostats to monitor Russian military activity on the peninsula by equipping them with cameras.
The main advantage of these devices is their low price as compared with any other drones. The main disadvantage is their dependence on weather conditions - a blimp can be launched only when there is a strong tailwind.
▪️ There is another pattern.
On the days of aerial reconnaissance and attempted strikes against Russian targets south of #Crimea, there was always a strategic RQ-4B/D UAV in the air. The drone monitored the location and nature of Russian air defence assets.
▪️ And a few more days before such "probes", Western commercial and military space systems were surveying the ground and land, transmitting the most important coordinates for strikes to the AFU.
♦️What are the AFU's tactics?
➖ Over several days/weeks, one or more UAV/aerostat sorties are conducted to "probe" #Crimea's anti-aircraft system and incite panic. Alongside this, there is a massive furore on social media about the bombings and arrivals.
➖ Within a day or two, Ukrainian formations receive data from satellites on the targets and re-flash the drones.
➖ At night, close to midnight, several drones are flown in, whose task is to detect the response of anti-aircraft missile systems to targets.
➖ The second and third wave of drones, equipped with improvised projectiles to hit military and industrial targets, follow the identified coordinates towards morning.
♦️What is the Point?
The Ukrainian leadership has made no secret of their intentions to seize the Crimean peninsula. However, at the moment, all their statements are only meant to create panic and discord in the Russian society.
The AFU's efforts are now focused on more strategically important tasks, namely reaching #Svatovo and #Kremennaya, holding #Bakhmut and breaking through to the Sea of Azov in Zaporozhye region.
Regular attempts to attack the peninsula using aerial and maritime drones, a terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge, sabotage and information campaigns are needed to inflame the situation and once again demonstrate the Russian army's inability to defend its territories.
Activity has decreased in recent days due to unfavourable weather conditions. In the near future, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will resume attempting strikes in #Crimea. A new batch of drones has been delivered to #Odessa and #Nikolaev regions, and at least one Bairaktar is operating along the Black Sea coastline.
Western intelligence continues to work off Russian shores, while military and commercial satellites actively monitor the highest-priority targets for strikes, which include the Crimean bridge, industrial facilities in #Feodosia and military bases in #Sevastopol.
