⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Another UAV Raid on the Crimean Peninsula⚡️
This morning, Ukrainian formations made another attempted raid on the territory of the Crimean peninsula from #Odessa using Mugin-5 drones equipped with a grenade dropping system.
♦️Chronicle of Events:
▪️ At 06.00, a group of five Mugin-5 drones took off from the Shkolny airfield in #Odessa in the direction of Cape Tarkhankut on an already "piloted" route. An hour later, a second wave of UAVs headed towards Crimea from the same airfield along a similar route.
▪️After reaching a certain point over the Black Sea, both groups of UAVs adjusted their route, heading towards Karkinit Bay and Bakalskaya Spit.
▪️The Ukrainian UAVs then entered the republic's airspace via the village of Steregushche in the Razdolnenskiy district of #Crimea. Three Mugin were shot down on the approach, while the others infiltrated further towards #Novoozernoye.
▪️The two remaining UAVs were destroyed by units of the 31st Air Defence Division near #Novoozernoye, while the rest returned to the coastal Black Sea waters via Donuzlav Bay.
▪️ Four more drones were hit near the northern breakwater in Sevastopol towards Cape Chersonese and Belbek airfield, while one went down in the sea near Novofedorovka.
♦️Specifics:
First, the AFU changed the timing of the raid. Almost every previous attack had been carried out at night or in the early hours of the morning. This time, however, the period between 08:00 and 10:00 was chosen.
Secondly, the attempted strikes were again carried out without objective control by NATO reconnaissance aircraft. A similar raid was carried out on the peninsula on 24 December last year.
Third, the chosen area for the infiltration into the territory of Crimea completely coincides with the previous attempted strikes. The ultimate targets were most likely Russian Aerospace Forces airfields on the peninsula, including #Saki and #Belbek.
NATO's satellite constellation has been actively imaging these sites in high detail for the last few days, as well as Gvardeyskoye, Dzhankoy, the Black Sea Fleet ship anchorage in #Sevastopol and the positions of mobile air defence units.
♦️ What next?
The Ukrainian command varies tactics in the use of drones, periodically changing the timing of attacks and the types of drones used, ranging from commercial Mugins to aerostats. More UAVs were dispatched in two waves today compared to past raids.
The purpose of this morning's action by the AFU was the same - to assess the state of air defence by identifying SAM and mobile squadron positions and the least defended areas in the air defence.
It is likely that in the next few days attempts at strikes will continue. And this time with a high degree of probability the US RQ-4B UAV, which flew from the Sigonella airbase to the Larissa airbase in #Greece, will be observing the actions of the RF Armed Forces.
This will increase the operational efficiency of the RQ-4B near Russian borders. Eight MQ-9A Reaper UAVs have already been at the Greek base since November, and the arrival of the Global Hawk demonstrates #Greece's increased role in the US geopolitical deterrence strategy.

⚔️ Ukrainian UAV Raid on Crimea - 16:00 on 16 Jan 2023
⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🎯 Ukrainian UAV Attacks from #Odessa on #Crimea⚡️
🗓 Today, Ukrainian formations have once again attempted a drone strike on #Crimea. Officials on the peninsula previously reported 9 UAVs from #Odessa, but there were actually 11.
5 were shot down by Crimean air defence forces (4 near #Kotovskoye and 1 near #Novoozernoye), and 6 were suppressed by electronic warfare units (2 each near #Razdolnoye and Donuzlav Lake, and 1each near #Tarkhankut and #Peschanyy).
According to the authorities, there was no damage to #Crimea's infrastructure. The example of the work of air defence and electronic warfare teams on the peninsula is illustrative, no matter how many drones are launched by the AFU or how - with the right approach, there will be no problems in countering them.
📌 And over the next two weeks, the intensity of raids on #Crimea is likely to increase. #NATO exercise Air Defender - 2023 is now underway over #Europe, including in the Black Sea.
The manoeuvres are a very convenient cover for reconnaissance and provocations near the Russian territories, which is confirmed by the reconnaissance aircraft flights of #NATO aviation, which do not stop.
And yesterday a #US Air Force B-1B bomber arrived in #Romania at the Mihail Cogalniceanu Air Base with a short visit, where it stayed for about three hours. The appearance of the B-1B in this case looks like a test of the reaction of the Russian authorities to the deployment of missile carriers near the Black Sea.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🎯 On the Massive Strike of the AFU on #Crimea⚡️
🗓 On 12 August, Ukrainian formations attacked the Crimean peninsula twice at different times of the day: first, 20 Mugin-5 PRO drones were fired from the #Shkolny Airfield, and then the AFU 👉 launched two S-200 anti-aircraft missiles in the direction of the Crimean bridge from the north of the #Zaporozhye region.
▪️ Of the 20 UAVs, 14 were destroyed by Tor-M2 and Pantsir-S1 SAM teams and rifle squads over #Armyansk, #Dalyokoye and Lake Donuzlav. A further six were suppressed by Electronic Warfare Systems over #Novoozernoye and #Steregushchy.
▪️ Interestingly, one of the drones was hit over the Black Sea by a Su-30M fighter jet 128 kilometres west of #Saki. The aircraft was probably on patrol due to #US air activity: at the same time there were P-8A and two MQ-9A Reaper in the air.
📌 The attack on the peninsula came neatly after #NATO's integrated 👉 reconnaissance in the region. The operation of more than five aircraft while the French E-3F was active could be considered a sign of an impending attack. Moreover, a batch of UAVs was 👉 delivered to #Shkolny a couple of days ago.
