βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ 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:

β–ͺ️ 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.

β–ͺ️After reaching a certain point over the Black Sea, both groups of UAVs adjusted their route, heading towards Karkinit Bay and Bakalskaya Spit.

β–ͺ️The 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.

β–ͺ️The 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.

β–ͺ️ 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.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― Ukrainian Drone Attack on #Crimea⚑️

πŸ—“ Early in the morning
, after a comprehensive reconnaissance by the US and NATO Air Forces, Ukrainian formations again attacked the Crimean peninsula with Mugin-5 PRO drones launched from the #Odessa region.

β–ͺ️ As a result of joint work between units of the 31st Air Defence Division and the RF Armed Forces' electronic warfare teams, 12 targets have been downed. 10 were suppressed by Electronic Warfare at Cape #Tarkhankut and #Yevpatoriya, 1 was shot down by a Tor SAM over #Khersones, and 1 was shot down by a Pantsir SAM on its way to Novofedorovsky Airfield over #Saki.

β–ͺ️ Unlike the previous attacks, the AFU changed tactics slightly. This time, the UAVs were launched in small groups from several locations, starting from the Shkolny Airfield and ending at the landing base in #Vilkovo.

❗️The attack was again preceded by active reconnaissance in the Black Sea area. The French Navy's Atlantique 2 base patrol aircraft and 3 US Air Force MQ-9A Reaper drones operated to the southwest and south of #Crimea.

πŸ“Œ Despite the repulsed raid, the attacks are highly likely to continue. According to some reports, a large batch of drones has been delivered to the Odessa region, which are planned to be used in conjunction with uncrewed boats.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― On the Massive Strike of the AFU on #Crimea⚑️

πŸ—“ 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 πŸ‘‰ launched two S-200 anti-aircraft missiles in the direction of the Crimean bridge from the north of the #Zaporozhye region.

β–ͺ️ 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.

β–ͺ️ 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.

πŸ“Œ The attack on the peninsula came neatly after #NATO's integrated πŸ‘‰ 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 πŸ‘‰ delivered to #Shkolny a couple of days ago.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― Ukrainian UAV Raid on #Crimea⚑️

πŸ—“ Overnight
, Ukrainian formations struck the Crimean peninsula again. This is the third attack by the AFU on #Crimea in the past few days after the S-300 SAMs were hit and the TikTok sortie of the SRGs on #Tarkhankut.

β–ͺ️ During the night, the AFU launched at least 42 Mugin-5 PRO UAVs. This time the drones flew from #Dolgintsevo Airfield near Kriviy Rog and from the vicinity of #Yuzhny in #Odessa region, and they flew round Cape #Tarkhankut from the west.

πŸ”ΉAs a result, units of the 31st Air Force and Air Defence Division shot down nine drones. Two over Cape #Tarkhankut, two over Cape #Tarkhankut, two over #Saki, one over #Gvardeyskoye, and four near the #Simferopol Thermal Power Plant. All sites are of strategic interest to the peninsula in one way or another.

πŸ”ΉAlso 24 drones were suppressed on the approaches to #Crimea. Some were intercepted near #Tarkhankut, some near #Saki, and a few more were planted in the sea west of #Sevastopol.

πŸ”ΉA further nine managed to fly to the #Perevalnoye range, where they were jammed under the influence of electronic warfare. But several of these UAVs landed on the site, damaging two KamAZ trucks. There is no data on casualties or damage to infrastructure.

❗️This is the most massive drone raid on #Crimea in recent months. The change in the point of take-off and route of the drones indicates that the AFU is still looking for the least protected areas of #Crimea for UAVs infiltration.

πŸ“Œ And the choice of objects to strike is quite understandable. Important airfields, air defence position areas and training camps. And the attempted raid on the TPP near #Simferopol indicates a desire to inflict not only damage on the Russian army, but also on the civilian population of #Crimea.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 25 August 2023⚑️

πŸ”ΉThe fiercest fighting
in the special operation zone is taking place in the #Orekhov section at the #Rabotino -# Verbovoye line. The AFU, regardless of the losses, are conducting a fierce assault on the southern outskirts of #Rabotino, where Russian soldiers are holding positions. In parallel, the enemy continues to pull forces into the sector.

πŸ”ΉIn the #Kherson direction, Ukrainian SRGs tried to land on three boats on #Borshchevoy Island south of #Veletenskoye village, but came under artillery fire and retreated. Some of the enemy militants were eliminated. Meanwhile, in the #Vremyevka sector, the AFU attempted to dislodge Russian soldiers from the landings east of #Urozhaynoye, but were unable to achieve success.

πŸ”ΉDuring the night, the AFU once again attacked #Crimea with drones. More than 30 drones were suppressed or intercepted by electronic warfare equipment near Cape #Tarkhankut, #Gvardeyskoye and the town of #Saki. Several devices fell on the territory of the training ground near #Perevalnoye, damaging several lorries.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš‘οΈ Night Drone Raid on #Crimea⚑️

πŸ—“ At night
after the missile strike on #Crimea, Ukrainian formations carried out a massive drone launch in the direction of #Crimea. The work of air defence lasted more than one and a half hours, and the rumblings in the sky almost did not subside.

πŸ”Ή The AFU attacked in waves. Two groups of drones flew from the direction of Belgorod-Dnestrovskoye and headed towards #Saki Aerodrome and #Sevastopol, and two more from the #Kherson region towards #Tarkhankut.

β–ͺ️ The Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced the defeat of 19 drones in the northwest and west of #Crimea, as well as near #Sevastopol. However, eyewitnesses report more targets shot down by air defence and suppressed by EW from #Tarkhankut to #Ivanovka and Razdolnensky district.

β–ͺ️ This information is indirectly confirmed by MoD's morning report on the destruction of 75 drones over the past day, which is the largest figure during the SMO.

β–ͺ️ Despite this, Russian air defence, EW and border guard rifle units successfully repelled the attack. And claims of damage to the airfield in #Novofyodorovka are refuted by the absence of any prolonged fire and detonation that would have been visible if it had hit equipment or other objects.

β–ͺ️ The RF Armed Forces repelled 2 Ukrainian attacks in the #Zaporozhye direction, 5 attacks in the #Donetsk direction, 3 attacks in the #Krasnyliman direction, MoD said;

β–ͺ️ Ukrainian authorities reported explosions in #Kiev, #Kievsky, #Lvov, #Cherkassy regions, as well as in #Rovno, Ivano-Frankovsk, and #Khmelnitsky;

β–ͺ️ A number of power facilities have been damaged in western and central #Ukraine, five regions have been partially de-energised, the Ukrenergo energy company said;

β–ͺ️ #Ukraine's air force does not need Mirage 2000 fighter jets because it is an outdated model, said Ignat, an adviser to Ukraine's air force command.

β–ͺ️ #Sweden has handed over ten Stridsvagn 122 tanks to #Ukraine, they have already been delivered, the Swedish defence ministry said.

β–ͺ️ Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki said that Warsaw had stopped supplying arms to #Ukraine, however, the government spokesman clarified that Warsaw was only supplying arms to #Ukraine under previously reached agreements.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 7 November 2023⚑️

πŸ”ΉUkrainian formations
once again attempted to attack facilities in #Crimea with drones. Nine UAVs were shot down near the #Belbek and #Saki airfields, and another eight were suppressed with electronic warfare equipment.

πŸ”ΉIn the #Kupyansk section, the RF Armed Forces are pushing through the enemy's defences, expanding the zone of control in the landings west of #Pervomayskoye. Advancement is complicated by dense mining.

πŸ”ΉIn the #Kherson direction, the enemy is maintaining a bridgehead on the left bank of the #Dnieper near #Krynok, bringing in personnel despite the work of artillery. Ukrainian formations are apparently trying primarily to break through to the rear to disrupt logistics rather than expand the bridgehead.

πŸ”ΉIn addition, according to some reports, the old terminal building of the Krivoy Rog international airport was hit today, injuring more than two dozen people, presumably including foreigners.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― Another Drone Raid on #Crimea - what to expect next⚑️

πŸ—“ Later towards midnight, after the πŸ‘‰ missile strike, Ukrainian formations attacked the Crimean peninsula with drones. Three groups totalling at least 36 drones were launched into the air from the direction of #Nikolayev.

β–ͺ️ The first drones were shot down on the approach to #Novofedorovka. If you look at the flight path, the target was obviously the airfield in #Saki. And it was there that the bulk of the drones were shot down.

β–ͺ️ Further on the drones began to work over #Yevpatoria, as well as off the coast of #Sevastopol. Of the 36 UAVs, 11 were shot down by Pantsir-S1 SAM systems and rifle squads. And 25 were suppressed by means of electronic warfare.

β–ͺ️ It is worth noting that a couple of hours before the UAV raid from #Nikolayev west of #Crimea three more drones launched from the #Odessa region to assess the readiness of air defence in #Crimea were shot down.

❗️The massive UAV attack did not cause any problems, all the drones were destroyed and suppressed. However, such attacks have a different purpose. Their goal is to identify the location of air defence units, their composition and the nature of their actions during the raids.

πŸ“Œ This is usually followed within a few days by a more serious attack, for example, with cruise or ballistic missiles against already identified targets. And, given that at the time of the UAV strike on #Crimea also one drone was shot down in #Novorossiysk, the attack could also be near the Kerch Strait.

🚨 Just over half an hour ago, an air raid alert was declared across the south due to the launching of unidentified missiles by Su-27 fighter jets over #Nikolayev. Given the absence of any arrivals or air defence work, these were likely hoaxes that also signalled preparations for a strike.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― On the lost Russian Aircraft during the 16 May Strike on Crimean #Belbek Airbase⚑️

πŸ›° The enemy released high-resolution satellite images of the aftermath of MGM-140 ATACMS missile strikes on #Belbek Airbase in #Crimea on 16 May 2024.

πŸ”Ž As a result of the attack, two MiG-31s and one Su-27 were completely destroyed, and a MiG-29 was also damaged.

❗️Needless to say, even the simplest canopies, if they did not save the sides, would have significantly reduced the damage, since the AFU used cluster ATACMS, most of whose M74 cluster munitions would have exploded on the roofs of the canopies. But there were no awnings, and we have our own way.

πŸ“Œ In fact, the impenetrability of the big generals responsible for this is even worth envying - neither the arrivals at the #Saki Air Base in the summer of 2022 with the loss of aircraft, nor the constant unmanned attempts to attack air bases, nor the supply of long-range missiles to the AFU could convince them. We are sure that these missile attacks will lead to nothing, after all, people don’t want to change anything on principle, and aviation is cheaper than canopies.
