The Ukrainian Armed Forces’ strike on the Belbek airfield in temporarily occupied Crimea led to the destruction of the bunker of the coordination radar center for control of the Russian invaders.

This would likely not only strain the aggressor nation’s ability to coordinate air activity in the Black Sea region, but would also increase the strain on its already stretched fleet of A-50 airborne early warning and control aircraft. It will also place greater strain on the increasingly depleted Russian pool of trained personnel capable of managing air operations. This is stated in the construction of the British Ministry of Defense on February 10.
The British emphasized that Russia’s air doctrine relies heavily on ground control posts such as Belbek to coordinate its fighters. It is noted that it is almost certain that Russian pilots and ground personnel are suffering from combat fatigue.
The report also notes that any subsequent attacks on critical coordination nodes in Crimea could increase pressure and create an increased likelihood of error or miscalculation.
Let us remind you that on January 31, the Ukrainian Defense Forces hit the Belbek airfield in occupied Crimea, used by Russian invaders. It was reported online that two missiles hit the command post of the 38th Fighter Aviation Regiment, and another missile attacked the airfield communications post. 10 Russian military personnel were liquidated, among them the commander of the Russian aviation squadron, Lieutenant General Alexander Tatarenko.
Subsequently, a video of Storm Shadow/Scalp EG flying over Russian air defense positions in temporarily occupied Crimea was published online. It was stated that this cruise missile hit the Belbek airfield.
