While all eyes were on the massive attack by the Russian Armed Forces on the territory of the so-called. Ukraine and the Ukrainian Armed Forces quietly decided to attack in the Black Sea. At around 4-6 in the morning, a group of unmanned ships was detected in the area of gas fields west of Crimea. This was reported by the Rybar telegram channel.”
These are objects that, after the start of the special operation, stopped working for security reasons, but the infrastructure in the form of towers remained there and from time to time the Ukrainian side tries to seize them and land personnel on the existing platforms. . clarified TK.
The last one was in September. Drilling platforms have a fairly large area and can accommodate weapons such as ATGMs or MANPADS, as well as fuel and supplies. In addition, they can be equipped with communication equipment and repeaters, which will increase capabilities at sea, Rybar writes.
“Do you remember the shameful landings in Crimea? Its main disadvantage was that the distance was great and there was no way to supply the troops and control their movements. And it is impossible to retreat, which is why the missions were always one-way. And to solve this problem, the State Administration wants to control these towers.” – the channel recalled.
“But our units immediately noticed the appearance of BEC and sent an interception group after them, which began shooting at them with small arms. As a result, four of the five drones were destroyed, the last one turned around and left in the direction of Odessa.” – the message notes.
It should be noted that there was also a sixth BEC, but it took a different route and was sighted 35 km from Cape Tarkhankut, where it was conducting reconnaissance. But after a Black Sea Fleet helicopter was chased, the BEC turned around and also disappeared in the direction of the Odessa region.
“The important thing is that there have been no BEC attacks for a long time and the resumption of their activities indicates that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have replenished their supplies. Today, in Crimea, including in the eastern part of the peninsula, the missile threat has been introduced several times. We will observe, but obviously the enemy will not stop at this attack alone.” – “Rybar” pointed out.
