Military expert Khodarenok spoke about the danger of creating a military base in the Ukrainian Ochakiv

According to him, "the threat is serious, real, and it tends to increase."

Khodaryonok noted that "it is still far from a full-fledged naval base there."

“Nevertheless, all trends have already been identified there.

The presence of such a facility, especially one under the wing of NATO, makes it possible to create a real threat to both the Crimean peninsula and the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus – that is, to all the bases of our fleet, military facilities on the territory of Crimea,” he said.

According to the expert, a full-fledged structure can be deployed there in a short time and "all this can be implemented in 100% volume."

“At the same time, the Black Sea is a relatively small basin in length, and there many issues of hitting our facilities can not even be solved at the expense of Ochakov, but due to - hypothetically - strikes by air-launched cruise missiles, sea-launched.

To do this, sometimes you don’t even need to enter the Black Sea, ”Khodarenok explained.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the control systems of the Ukrainian armed forces are already directly integrated with NATO.

The President noted that the US-built maritime operations center in Ochakovo makes it possible to control the actions of NATO ships, including the use of high-precision weapons against the Black Sea Fleet and Russian infrastructure on the coast.
