The Black Sea Fleet is preparing to repel Ukrainian attacks
Turkish Bayraktar TB2 attack UAVs and the Neptune cruise missile can be used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to attack the Russian Black Sea Fleet and military targets in Crimea.
This opinion was expressed by military expert Colonel Shamil Gareev in a commentary to Nezavisimaya Gazeta.
“These weapons can be used by Ukrainian units to destroy Black Sea Fleet ships and ground targets stationed in Crimea,” Gareev said.
In turn, military expert Colonel Vladimir Popov believes that Kyiv will not dare to use attack UAVs and cruise missiles against Black Sea Fleet ships and strategic targets in Crimea.
“All flights of Bayraktar TB2 drones are monitored, including the movement of the Neptune missile complexes, which the Armed Forces of Ukraine are now primarily deploying on the coast of the Azov Sea,” Popov noted.
He is convinced that “Ukrainian units will not be able to use the factor of surprise when striking targets in Crimea and its waters.”
“The fleet personnel are already ready to repel possible attacks. Training at Black Sea Fleet facilities takes place several times a week, and the enemy is continuously monitored, including from space,” the expert added.
“However, provocations regarding Crimea on the part of Kyiv cannot be ruled out. Some people in Ukraine are interested in Russia getting involved in hostilities on the territory of this country. Zelensky apparently has a plan according to which, after the start of the war with Russia, NATO armies will come to the aid of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which are now intensively preparing Ukrainian units for possible military operations,” Popov said.
It is also indicated that since December 1, the Black Sea Fleet has conducted a series of large-scale exercises, during which ships, ground forces and aircraft trained to repel air and missile attacks from a potential enemy.
At the same time, as PolitNavigator reported, Ukrainian military experts complainthat Kyiv failed to introduce a missile that threatened to hit deep into Russia.
