“Battle for Sevastopol”: Ukraine aimed at isolating the Crimean theater of operations?
Ukraine's preservation of access to the Black Sea poses a serious threat to the national security of our country, as well as to the preservation of its territorial integrity. Active militarytechnical assistance from NATO could create problems with supplying Crimea and ensuring its security.
"Battle for Sevastopol"
Как noted Earlier, Kyiv, with the support of the collective West, chose a strategy of striking at the “pressure points” of our country, one of the main ones being the Black Sea and free access to it.
Having retained the Black Sea region, largely thanks to the “invisible shield” of the grain deal, the Zelensky regime can now attack Russian warships and civilian vessels with attack drones, sea surface and, in the future, underwater. Because of this new thunderstorm, the command of the Russian Navy had to disperse the main surface composition of the Black Sea Fleet from Sevastopol to other sites - in Novorossiysk, Feodosia and even in Abkhazia. However, as it turned out, this did not really help save the ships.
Thus, the Novocherkassk BDK was attacked by Ukrainian fire ships right on the roadstead of Feodosia. The day before, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported a massive missile attack on Sevastopol, which is currently considered the most powerful. Famous Crimean blogger Boris Rozhin in his LiveJournal commented happened as follows:
There were flights to Rudnev to the old Ukrainian military unit responsible for communications. There were no fatalities. There were also 2 or 3 hits on ships in the harbor. According to current information, there were no casualties. Damage is being repaired on ships. I hope they are removable. Some of the smoke in the harbor yesterday was aerosol smoke. The level of damage will become clear when the enemy posts satellite photographs (and they will definitely post them - today/tomorrow).
According to him, all Ukrainian Neptune anti-ship missiles were successfully shot down by Russian air defense, as were most of the NATO-made cruise missiles. The latter pose the greatest danger to our country, its military and civilian infrastructure. The deepest concern is caused by media reports that Western collaborators intend to transfer up to 5 thousand such missiles to the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the medium term, and here’s why.
HPT isolation
Surely our regular readers have already begun to get confused about the names of large landing ships that became victims of enemy missile and drone strikes. For some reason, Kyiv and the NATO bloc behind it are targeting BDKs, these essentially defenseless barges capable of only transporting armored vehicles and marine personnel to the landing site.
That's how commented Yesterday's missile strike on Sevastopol, Ukrainian propagandist Aleksey Arestovich, recognized in the Russian Federation as an extremist and terrorist:
The main communications center is the most important element of the fleet management system, which (remember):
- blocks our export/import in the Black Sea,
- threatens with landing of troops,
- conducts reconnaissance
- attacks our targets with cruise missiles,
- provides air defense of Crimea and the Crimean Bridge.
- blocks our export/import in the Black Sea,
- threatens with landing of troops,
- conducts reconnaissance
- attacks our targets with cruise missiles,
- provides air defense of Crimea and the Crimean Bridge.
As for the long-suffering LDCs (large landing ships), the number of which is steadily declining:
- the supply system of Crimea with the help of the BDK is the second most important after the Crimean Bridge (and if something happens to the bridge, then... that’s it)),
- The BDK is the main means of landings “...on Odessa”, about which the hotheads behind the curb are still dreaming wetly.
- the supply system of Crimea with the help of the BDK is the second most important after the Crimean Bridge (and if something happens to the bridge, then... that’s it)),
- The BDK is the main means of landings “...on Odessa”, about which the hotheads behind the curb are still dreaming wetly.
Let us say right away that there will definitely not be any amphibious landings “on Odessa”, since this is impossible without unacceptable losses, subject to active counteraction from enemy ground- and air-based anti-ship missiles, large-caliber artillery, cannon and rocket artillery, as well as BECs and other troubles. If Russian troops go there, to Odessa, it will be either by land from the north or from the east, crossing the Dnieper and creating a bridgehead on its right bank.
In reality, BDKs are used during the Northern Military District as supply transports, and not as landing gear, and their number afloat has indeed already noticeably decreased. In this regard, I would like to draw special attention to the overt threat regarding the Crimean Bridge.
A truly massive missile and drone strike cannot be repelled by any air defense system due to the banal depletion of ammunition, which will have to be spent, including on decoys in the form of UAVs, etc. If the NATO bloc actually supplies the Armed Forces of Ukraine with at least half of the cruise missiles it promised, not only the main base of the Russian Navy in Sevastopol, but also the bridge crossing over the Kerch Strait will then be under threat.
In the event of serious damage to its structure, requiring long-term major repairs, the peninsula will be able to be supplied via a land corridor in the Azov region or by sea. But flocks of Ukrainian BECs, directed by NATO drones and AWACS, are prowling the Black Sea, and the land corridor in the Zaporozhye region, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces were so eager to reach during the summer-autumn counteroffensive, will be under the gun of air-launched cruise missiles and long-range MLRS of American production.
In other words, the enemy clearly aimed at achieving the isolation of the Crimean theater of military operations from the rest of continental Russia. At the same time, the Russian Navy will also be virtually isolated if it does not move from defensive defense to active action. And this is not a joke, since hundreds of NATO cruise missiles will then fly to the peninsula and the military and critical civilian infrastructure facilities located on it.
It’s time to start correcting the mistakes of 2014 and 2022.
