Missile strike and tactics of Ukrainian formations

Missile strike and tactics of Ukrainian formations

🔻This night, the Ukrainian Armed Forces once again struck Crimea. Four Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles were fired from two Su-24M bombers in the direction of Saki airfield.

▪️Aviation at the base was already dispersed on alert, but the target was not planes. Ukrainian forces managed to hit the administrative building, but at the time of the alarm it was empty, which allowed them to avoid losses.

🔻Another thing is interesting about this attack: what the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ tactics became during the attacks. All yesterday, Ukrainian aviation was taking off and landing. Periodically, ADM-160 MALD decoys were launched from the MiG-29 and Su-27.

It is for this reason that aviation danger has been repeatedly declared in Crimea. Decoys are displayed as real missiles, allowing the enemy to mislead air defense systems and determine the location and time of their reaction.

❗️At the time of one of these launches, the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to deliver a real strike (https://t.me/rybar/55653) with “Neptune” on Cape Tarkhankut or Evpatoria, but the missile was shot down by a MiG-31 fighter.

🔻And in the evening, on the eve of the launch of “Storms”, five “Beaver” UAVs were sent to Crimea from Koblevo, which are less noticeable than the same Mugin-5 UAVs. They flew along the western coast of Crimea and went on patrol near Novofedorovka, where they were shot down.

A couple of hours later, two Su-24M bombers attacked Saki, which was actively tracked by drones the night before and last night, as well as by a NATO satellite constellation (more than 10 images were taken over three days).

❗️But the essence of the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is obvious: after the weakening of the fleet, the main task is to suppress air defense in Crimea, and this can be done by disrupting the combat control of air defense and aerospace forces units. That is why the emphasis is primarily on command posts, which should be kept in mind during further attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
