βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ“œ @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?

β–ͺ️ 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.

β–ͺ️ 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.

β–ͺ️ 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.

β–ͺ️ 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?

βž– 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.

βž– Within a day or two, Ukrainian formations receive data from satellites on the targets and re-flash the drones.

βž– At night, close to midnight, several drones are flown in, whose task is to detect the response of anti-aircraft missile systems to targets.

βž– 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.

β–ͺ️ In the north of #Bakhmut, Wagner PMC assault squads have almost completely liberated the Internat area, and have also advanced towards the Elevator area.
βž– In the city centre, Russian units are advancing on enemy positions in the vicinity of Saltovsky Meat Processing Plant and Bakhmut Bus Station.
βž– To the south, the "Wagnerians" have liberated the Avangard Stadium, as well as the adjoining Pedagogical School and Agrarian Lyceum on Kovalskaya and Blagoveshchenskaya Streets.

β–ͺ️ Ukrainian formations are attempting counterattacks, trying to regain lost territories.

β–ͺ️ In the south of #Bakhmut, fighters of the Wagner PMC are battling in the area of Schools No. 2 and No. 40 on Chaykovsky Street.

β–ͺ️ Southwest of #Bakhmut, Russian troops continue to storm AFU positions on the outskirts of #Krasnoye, as well as near the highway to #Konstantinovka.

πŸ”Ή#Donetsk Direction:

β–ͺ️ Units of the RF Armed Forces continue their operation to cover the AFU grouping in #Avdeyevka. Russian aviation is carrying out massive strikes with guided aerial bombs against enemy positions in the city.

β–ͺ️ In #Maryinka, Russian forces are fighting near the Tyre-Repair Plant after levelling the frontline along Druzhba Avenue.

β–ͺ️ The Ukrainian terrorist formations continue indiscriminate shelling of the #Donetsk agglomeration.
βž– In #Yasinovataya, more than ten residential buildings and a kindergarten have been hit.Two people were killed and 14 wounded.

πŸ”Ή#Zaporozhye Direction:

β–ͺ️ Near #Gulyaypole, the Russian Aerospace Forces hit the building of ZapAgroTech, an agricultural equipment manufacturing company, with a high-precision munition. It is highly probable that there was an armament or equipment depot on the territory of the enterprise.

β–ͺ️ At the #Orekhov grain elevator, Russian forces carried out precision strikes against hangars containing HIMARS multiple rocket launchers and barrel artillery. The equipment had previously been moved into the city for use in an upcoming counteroffensive.

πŸ”Ή#Crimea:

β–ͺ️ In the vicinity of #Feodosia, Russian air defences intercepted a missile fired from the Thunder-2 MLRS, with no casualties.

πŸ”ΈPolitical Events:

☦️ The Ukrainian authorities continue the policy of ousting the canonical UOC-MP from public life.

β–ͺ️ In the Khmelnytsky region, St. Michael's Cathedral in #Shepetovka was captured, and the assault on the Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral in Kamenetz-Podolsky continues.

β–ͺ️ In the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra on the occasion of Palm Sunday, two services were held simultaneously. Schismatics held a service in the Refectory Church, parishioners of the UOC-MP in the courtyard.

πŸ”΄
The RF Armed Forces attacked with "Geraniums" objects in #Kiev, #Odessa, #Zaporozhye, #Chernigov and #Sumy regions during the night.

β–ͺ️ In the #Artyomovsk sector, the Wagner PMC advanced up to 160m, suffering heavy losses due to a shortage of shells for artillery support, Prigozhin said.

πŸ”΅ The Enemy attacked the Supreme's residence in the #Kremlin yesterday with two UAVs. Footage of one of them exploding near the dome was caught on video footage. Zelensky had gone to #Finland before the attack, and threatening statements from Russian officials have been made.

β–ͺ️ In the #Zaporozhye direction the enemy conducted a limited reconnaissance battle south of #Orekhov last night. It was met with fire, suffered losses and withdrew.

β–ͺ️ In the #Crimea our air defence system worked near #Feodosia. Objects of the enemy were destroyed, no casualties.

β–ͺ️ In the #Rostov region, the AFU attacked the Novoshakhtinsk Oil Products Plant at night. A UAV crashed into the structures of the plant's inter-workshop trestle and then exploded. The fire was extinguished immediately.

β–ͺ️ In the #Krasnodar edge, the Ilsky Oil Refinery was attacked. The refinery caught fire due to a Ukrainian drone strike.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― Combined AFU Attack in the Black Sea Zone⚑️

πŸ—“ Around midnight
, 2-4 Mugin-5 PRO UAV groups (at least 18) were launched near #Kherson, probably from #Chernobayevka airfield towards #Crimea.

β–ͺ️ One group moved via #Kalanchak towards #Armyansk and Cape #Tarkhankut, and the the other via #Chaplynka and #Chongar towards #Feodosiya. The first 6 UAVs were suppressed by electronic warfare (EW) over #Chaplynka.

β–ͺ️ Further, units of the 31st Air Defence Division worked on targets from Pantsir-S1 SAMs near #Krasnoperekopsk and Cape #Tarkhankut. 2 more were planted by EW near #Krasnoperekopsk and #Armyansk.

❗️The AFU main strike was concentrated on #Feodosiya, where Russian troops shot down 7 UAVs (3 with S-400 SAMs and 4 with ZU-23-2 guns), and 1 was suppressed by EW. 1 fell near an oil depot in the city, no damage data is available yet.

πŸ“Œ The attack on #Feodosia is not accidental. Large oil reservoirs are located in this city (the fall of the UAV nearby indirectly indicates that they were targeted). There is also a power station, linking the power lines of #Crimea.

βš“οΈ Details of the attack on #Novorossiysk have also emerged.Uncrewed boat struck the left side of the "Olenegorsk Miner BDK". As a result, one of the compartments was flooded, but the ship remained afloat and will be restored after repairs.

❗️In this case, it is curious that the boat approached the BDK unhindered. The crew probably did not expect the attack. And this also understands the issue of equipping all non-combat ships with additional machine guns, as has already been done on several BSF ships.

πŸ“Œ The combined attack on #Crimea along with the hit on the BSF ship came neatly after a comprehensive reconnaissance by #NATO aviation and satellites. And this time the AFU changed the targets. From the already somewhat familiar #Sevastopol and #Gvardeyskoye to #Feodosiya and #Novorossiysk.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš“οΈ Relocation of Black Sea Fleet Ships to #Novorossiysk and #Feodosia⚑️

πŸ’¬ The information space
is actively discussing the relocation of Russian ships from #Sevastopol to #Novorossiysk and #Feodosia because of the danger of missile attacks on the fleet. However difficult it may be to recognise this, the Black Sea Fleet cannot now fully ensure its security.

❗️This requires full control not only of the Black Sea waters but also of the airspace.

πŸ”Ή As long as the enemy has access to the sea, and #NATO aviation is quietly pointing drones and missiles, the danger will remain.

πŸ”Ή At the moment, stationing ships in more distant ports is perfectly reasonable. Kalibrs can be launched from the #Novorossiysk area as well. This does not mean that the security of #Crimea will be jeopardised. No one has removed the task from the fleet. Simply replenishment of supplies will take place in the #Krasnodar territory and #Feodosia.

πŸ“Œ In this case, the distance from the line of contact in the #Kherson region and from #Odessa will be 400 and 580 kilometres to #Feodosia and #Novorossiysk, which exceeds the combat range of Storm Shadow and SCALP Cruise Missiles.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 14 February 2024⚑️

πŸ”ΉThe AFU once again conducted a combined attack on #Crimea. Five air targets were intercepted near #Yalta and #Feodosia, three more were suppressed on approach to #Anapa.

πŸ”ΉAt the same time, in the south of the Crimean Peninsula near the village of #Katsiveli, the AFU's unmanned boats attacked the large landing ship "Caesar Kunikov". Two marine drones were sunk, but four more reached the target, as a result of which our ship sank.

πŸ”ΉIn the #Avdeyevka sector, Russian troops took control of the Avdeyevka Motor Depot in the northwestern part of the city, reaching Industrial Avenue. The consolidation of the RF Armed Forces in this area will seriously complicate logistics in the city for the AFU.

πŸ”ΉIn the #Ugledar section, Russian troops are storming #Novomikhaylovka from several directions. In the south of the village, the RF Armed Forces Federation are advancing along Timiryazev Street, during the fighting they managed to occupy part of the Sintezprodservice Industrial Zone. The territory of the cemetery is also under the control of Russian forces.
