Explosions began to be heard more and more often in the temporarily occupied Crimea. the Russians, who considered it an absolutely safe and protected territory, are deeply concerned about this situation.
This opinion Channel 24 was expressed by military observer Denis Popovich. According to him, now the Russian authorities should think about how to explain to the population what is happening there.
The situation will continue
The Kremlin has two ways to do this: admit that the anti-aircraft defense or counterintelligence is not working, which probably could not detect the activities of sabotage and reconnaissance groups on the territory of Crimea.
The situation will continue, in particular, it can be aimed at calculating the air defense systems, their location. Fix the starting position in order to then prepare a more significant strike, Popovich noted.
In his opinion, now in the temporarily occupied Crimea it will not be calm. However, it is not yet worth considering an emergency land operation to liberate the occupied territory.
How the Russians are helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Recently, a Russian tourist in Crimea took a photo on background of S-400 systems. The husband posted a photo on the social network, and the journalists of Radio Liberty determined the exact location of the equipment and spread the information.
Popovich recalled that when large-scale hostilities began in Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine repeatedly warned that you should not photograph military equipment or take photos against it, especially if there is a link to the area.
Russians neglect such rules, because they don’t understand how it could end. Yes, such photos help to calculate the exact coordinates of the location of the equipment in order to strike at it later.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the next target of the “cotton” will be exactly this complex, which was photographed,” the military observer noted.
Popovich commented on the explosions in Crimea: watch the video
What is known about “cotton” in Crimea: briefly
- In the evening of August 21, an air raid alert was announced in Sevastopol, temporarily occupied by Russia. Even before the sirens were turned on, the Russian media reported about the “arrival” in the area of the Nakhimov military school. Subsequently, the occupiers began, as always, to say that “clap” is the sound of Russian air defense.
- On August 18, explosions were heard near the bridge in Kerch. Local residents on social networks write that at least 4 loud explosions were heard. They also reported that they saw rockets flying “from the side of the sea” and flashes in the sky.
- At the same time, the Russians on the peninsula are very scared. They immediately started running from there. Researchers at the American Institute for the Study of War reported that after the “pop” in the Crimea, Russia in a panic began to change the command of the fleet. She wants to pass off the explosions at military facilities as a terrorist attack.
