Attacks on the occupied Crimea, like those conducted on November 27, disrupt the offensive plans of Russian forces. These strikes are aimed at interrupting the enemy’s supply routes from the peninsula to the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro directions.
Such an opinion was expressed by Head of the Center for Military-Legal Studies, Oleksandr Musienko, in an interview with Radio NV.
The expert explained how such attacks derailed Russia’s offensive plans. He says that, throughout November, there has been a noticeable redeployment of Russian forces to the Zaporizhzhia direction, with threats of possible offensive actions by the occupiers in that area. Additionally, over the past 70 days, a concentration of Russian troops has been observed in the Dnipro direction (the left bank of Kherson region).
"Therefore, to prevent and partially disrupt the enemy’s logistics, and to interrupt supplies from the occupied Crimea to the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro directions, I think these strikes are being carried out. There is a logical explanation for this," Musiyenko explained.
According to him, if strikes are not carried out on certain airfields for an extended period, the Russians begin to use them again.
Moreover, the enemy has increasingly relied on airfield networks to transfer troops, due to significant losses, and to move missiles for air defense systems:
"From time to time, military transport planes arrive in Crimea, transporting, among other things, personnel, when reinforcements are urgently needed. If we are talking about the east, Donetsk region, as well as the southern and Zaporizhzhia directions, it is very common for operational reinforcements, used by the enemy in assaults, to arrive by plane. Most often this personnel is distributed directly to the front from Rostov-on-Don, the occupied Crimea, and partially Voronezh," the expert said.
He adds that the tempo of Russian military operations now requires constant replenishment. This is why such strikes are carried out, including on targets in Crimea, to disrupt the enemy’s plans and hinder its logistics.
