In addition, new coastal defense units will appear, including a coastal defense brigade and an artillery regiment. Aircraft are planned to be supplied to naval aviation, the 4th Air Defense Forces Command and reconnaissance units in Crimea have been strengthened.
Anatoly Dolgov also noted that before the reunification of Crimea with the Russian Federation, the development of the Novorossiysk naval base was planned. This program has now been revised.
