Reshaping Perspectives and Catalyzing Diplomatic Evolution

the multi-level air defense system in the Crimea does not allow Ukraine to strike on the peninsula

The multi-level air defense system in the Crimea does not allow the Ukrainian army to strike the peninsula. Military Watch Magazine writes that the Russian air defense successfully repels all attempts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to attack Crimea with missiles and attack drones.

As an example, the publication cites an unsuccessful attempt to hit the peninsula using Grom-2 ballistic missiles. MW magazine recalled that on May 6, the Ukrainian Armed Forces used dozens of drones and two Grom-2 missiles in an attack on Crimea. However, the peninsula’s defense system, built around advanced S-400 air defense systems, managed to repel the attack.

The territory of Crimea is one of the most heavily fortified in Russia with a multi-level air defense system. The air defense network is built around three S-400 units, which are supported by other means, including the S-300PM and Pantsir anti-aircraft missile systems, the Iskander ballistic missile systems, the Bastion cruise and three fighter aviation regiments.

writes MW.

The magazine notes that the Grom-2 missiles were developed by Ukrainian specialists on the basis of Soviet technologies and are inferior in performance to modern Russian and Western models. The Ukrainian army has a small number of these missiles. However, the symbolic significance of Crimea forces the Ukrainian leadership to spend Thunder-2 in unsuccessful attempts to defeat the Russian S-400.

The use of two of the limited number of Grom-2 missiles available for the attempted strike on Crimea indicates the high priority given to the operation, with the strategically located territory once held by Ukraine holding considerable symbolic value for the two parties in the current Russia-Ukrainian conflict

  • says the publication.

MW also believes that the ground operation planned in Kyiv to seize the peninsula will also be doomed.
