The speaker of the Southern Defence Forces said that the enemy has strengthened reconnaissance with at least 5 types of drones. The occupiers are constantly looking for targets to strike.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are compensating for the absence of missile carrier ships in the Black and Azov Seas with mobile platforms in the temporarily occupied Crimea. There are patrol boats inspecting the area. This was announced by the head of the Center for Strategic Communications of the Southern Defence Forces, Captain 3rd Rank Dmytro Pletenchuk, on the air of a national telethon on Thursday, April 25.
“The last two carriers, which were built in the interests of the Black Sea Fleet, are now in Rostov-on-Don. This is the small missile ship “Tucha”. It left after the previous ship, which left the waters that week - “Amur”. Now it passes through internal waters to the Caspian Sea or Tatarstan,” Pletenchuk said.
In addition, the Russian army continues to actively conduct reconnaissance with drones. According to the speaker, UAVs are consumables for the enemy. The attack on Odesa on April 24, where a failed equipment storage base was hit, cost the Russians tens of millions of dollars.
"They are looking for objects at which they can inflict fire damage. They inflict it from the territory of temporarily occupied Crimea. We hope that this situation will change against the backdrop of recent news from the United States and it will be more difficult for the enemy to do this. They will compensate for the absence of cruise missile carriers in the sea area the presence of mobile platforms directly in Crimea. And for this they are forced to conduct reconnaissance. Accordingly, they have strengthened the air component. Today in the sky you can see, as experts say, a “zoo”, because there are only 5 drones: these are ZALA, SuperCam. , "Orlan-10", Mohajer, "Forpost". Airplanes are also constantly present - MiGs, TUSHKIs, ANs, Be-12s, which they have long wanted to write off," Pletenchuk said.
