< p>Destroying the means of protecting the Russian army in Crimea will contribute to the effectiveness of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, but the enemy should not be underestimated.
Natalya Gumenyuk, speaker of the joint coordination press center of the Southern Defense Forces, reported this during a briefing at Media Center Ukraine, speaking about the significance of the destruction of the Russian Triumph air defense system near Yevpatoria.
According to her, a fairly extensive air defense system has been deployed on the peninsula, the occupiers have room for maneuver, although such a defeat did have a significant impact on the overall air defense structure of Crimea.

&# 8212; In addition, the destruction of such large objects as a landing ship, a submarine and an air defense system, in addition to the physical destruction of the enemy's potential, — This is a powerful moral slap in the face to the enemy, who has presented himself as a large, unruly, indestructible and impossible to destroy army, which suffers very significant losses, — noted Gumenyuk.
She emphasized that such even a remote demonstration of the presence of the Defense Forces on the peninsula — this is a very powerful signal from the Russian Federation that we can liberate Crimea.
On the night of September 14, near the temporarily occupied Yevpatoriya, the Ukrainian military struck the location of the Russian Triumph air defense system.
