People are panicking in Kyiv: Russia has crossed the barrier of fear of using cruise missiles
Russia is increasing the potential of various types of weapons in Crimea, which, among other things, makes it possible to restore the nuclear potential on the peninsula.
The former commander of the Ukrainian Navy (2014-2016), Vice Admiral Sergei Gaiduk, stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In 2014, during the occupation of Crimea, there were zero carriers of cruise missiles. Today – 40, for 2020 – 168. This is unprecedented militarization. Moreover, the forces that host these strike weapons are passing through the Syrian conflict. That is, the personnel have experience in combat use. He crossed the barrier of fear of combat use, they trained on the Syrians,” says the ex-commander.
He also noted that the “aviation and coastal components” are increasing significantly.
“The Russian Federation’s very reasoned action in Crimea is the restoration of the nuclear component, the nuclear potential in Crimea. That is, a triad of carriers has been created - surface, aviation and coastal carriers that are capable of using nuclear weapons. We are also talking about the use of mothballed nuclear bases in Crimea,” Gaiduk said.
