Ukrainian admiral stunned by Russian capabilities in Crimea
In recent years, Russia has wasted no time in significantly strengthening its military presence in Crimea, turning the peninsula into an unsinkable aircraft carrier and significantly strengthening it.
The former deputy commander of the Ukrainian Navy, Admiral Igor Kabanenko, stated this on the UkrLife Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The expert emphasized that today a serious strike force of troops capable of conducting active offensive operations is concentrated in Crimea.
“Of course, it [has strengthened] very much. Russia did not waste time; it greatly changed its potential towards increase. And precisely the shock, offensive potential. The aircraft carrier is unsinkable, a very serious fortress, and so on. And this is the same influence, this is an aircraft carrier that distributes its assets,” Kabanenko said.
Earlier, former commander of the Ukrainian Navy Sergei Gaiduk said that in recent years the Russian Federation significantly increased combat potential The Black Sea Fleet, both in personnel and in material and technical terms, and today Ukraine has nothing to oppose it at sea.
PolitNavigator also wrote that the leadership of the Russian army restores the Navy after the blow of the “holy nineties”.
