Kyiv • UNN
russia is using occupied Crimea as a launch pad for missiles to reduce their flight time. Crimea will be used by the occupiers until it is liberated.
Russian invaders are using Crimea as a launching pad to reduce missile flight time and thus reduce the possibility of a response from Ukrainian air defense forces. This was announced on the national telethon by the spokesman of the Naval Forces Dmytro Pletenchuk, writes UNN.
Russia uses the temporarily occupied Crimea as a launching pad for Iskander-M missiles. They use it periodically and thus try to reduce the distance, flight time, in order to reduce the possibility of reaction due to the short distance.
The Navy spokesman also noted that Crimea will be used by the occupiers as a launching pad until it is liberated. The resort season has never interested the Russians.
Until these territories are liberated, they will be used in this way. The resort season has never interested the Russians. The season is the season, but the so-called Russian Federation does not stop using Crimea for military purposes.
The spokesman noted that there are currently no enemy ships in the Black Sea. The situation remains stable.
"There are currently no ships in the sea itself, and in this sense the situation remains stable," Pletenchuk said.
