A series of severe attacks by Ukraine in Crimea. The Russians are counting their losses [WIDEO]
Ukrainian activities in occupied Crimea continue. Our neighbor's special forces regularly carry out attacks on the Russian arsenal located on the peninsula. Sometimes it happens in one night they can destroy equipment worth tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars. Such a situation occurred on the night of February 24-25, when Ukrainian drones caused a small massacre of the Kremlin's anti-aircraft forces.

Why is Crimea crucial for Russian operations?
According to our neighbor, guided FP-1 and FP-2 drones hit the launcher of the S-400 air defense system, the 92N6E radar station belonging to the same system, as well as other components of the S-400 system. Additionally, we managed to eliminate one of the newest pieces of equipment of this type, the Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile system.
Russians suffer severe losses – not only in financial terms
The value of the destroyed equipment can be counted at least in the tens of millions of dollars. However, such operations hurt Moscow not only for financial reasons. Weakening Russian air defenses in Crimea significantly limits the Kremlin's ability to detect and counter Ukraine's drones, missiles, and aircraft, which in turn makes it possible to attack other targets on the peninsula – for example, those related to disrupting Russian logistics.
Crimea is a key logistics hub for Russian operations in the Zaporizhia and Kherson Oblasts, and such severe attacks on Russian air defense systems facilitate subsequent attacks on bridges, supply routes and transport hubs running through the peninsula.
