The attacks on military bases in Crimea drew attention to the military importance of these bases for Russia.
Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014, is of particular strategic importance as it is Russia's gateway to the warm waters, and there are military bases that play important roles in the Russian war on Ukraine.
Here is an overview of the most important of these rules:
Sevastopol Base: The headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet even before the peninsula was annexed.
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, an agreement with Ukraine enabled Russia to keep the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, according to a new lease agreement last time in 2010 and ending in 2042.
There are naval vessels of different types and submarines used to launch ballistic missiles towards Ukraine.
Belbek Air Base: It is located north of Sevastopol, where air fighters, including Su-24 and Su-30, were also attacked on August 18.
Saki Air Base: It is located in the west of the peninsula and houses the aircraft of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
It was attacked on the ninth of this month, which is believed to have resulted in the destruction of a number of aircraft and damage to facilities.
Simferopol Air Base: It includes Su-24M and Su-25cm aircraft. The base belongs to the Russian Navy.
Perevalnoe Naval Base: It was the headquarters of the 36th Division of the Ukrainian Navy before the annexation of Crimea by Russia, and houses a military school established in 1965.
