Ukraine: Missile strikes on Russian military facilities in Crimea
The Ukrainian military has recently stepped up its military operations in southern Crimea, which has been annexed by Russia, and on the 4th of this month, it attacked Russian military facilities in Crimea with missiles.
On the 9th, the British Ministry of Defense pointed out that it is extremely likely that this attack reduced the air defense capability of the Russian army over Crimea.
In addition, the fact that the Russian army was attacked despite strengthening its readiness has once again exposed the ineffectiveness of the air defense capabilities of the Russian army that protects the main bases, and the air defense posture of the Russian army has become vulnerable.
