Pletenchuk emphasized that destroying the air defense is a priority for successful future operations. He explained that russians use air defense systems to protect their military facilities, and this is crucial for advancing towards enemy positions.
"russians are always trying to recover their complex and expensive air defense, but this will be a huge challenge for them," he added.
Reports of strikes on key russian air defense facilities in temporarily occupied Crimea indicate intensified Ukrainian military activity in the region and efforts to weaken the enemy defensive capabilities. The destruction of russian air defenses is a crucial step in ensuring security and preserving Ukraine's territorial integrity.
It should be recalled that recently, the Defense Forces of Ukraine carried out a massive attack on military facilities of russian occupiers in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
Prymary special unit of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine struck a blow against russian air defenses, namely the Glonass satellite navigation system in a special dome, the MR-10M1 Mys M1 coastal radar, as well as the 96L6-AP radar, the Utes-T radar, and the RT-70 radio telescope.
