Crimea will become an unsuitable base for Russia if the West gives Ukraine additional long-range missiles, the military believes.
Russia could not use the annexed territory of Crimea as a base for attacks on civilian infrastructure if Ukraine received longer-range weapons from the West. About that wrote former commander of US forces in Europe, retired lieutenant general and military expert Ben Hodges on X (formerly Twitter).
“Imagine if Ukraine had another hundred ATACMS, TAURUS, Storm Shadow or SCALP? Crimea would be an unsuitable base for Russia… No navy, no air force, no drone launching against civilians, no logistics hub to support Russia’s defense of southern Ukraine … without the Kerch Bridge,” the military man emphasized.
As you know, on the night of December 26, the ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet Novocherkassk in the area of temporarily annexed Feodosia was attacked by cruise missiles.
A video has emerged showing the moment of the strike in Novocherkassk
