In temporarily occupied Crimea, Russian forces are failing to quickly restore their air defense system following attacks by Ukraine’s Defense Forces, UATV English<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

The partisan movement “ATESH” reported this on\u00a0Telegram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“An ATESH agent from units of the Russian Aerospace Forces’ air defense in Crimea reports that the peninsula’s air defense system is going through its worst period since the start of the full-scale war. A series of precise strikes is systematically knocking out S-400 divisions and Pantsir systems \u2013 and the occupiers simply do not have time to restore them,” the statement said.<\/p>\n

It is noted that the strikes primarily targeted units covering the sky over the peninsula from Dzhankoi to Yevpatoria and Chornomorske.<\/p>\n

“Positions we held a month ago no longer exist. They are simply gone \u2013 burned or abandoned,” the source said.<\/p>\n

Partisans added that Russian command is patching the gaps using any available means. People without proper military training \u2013 including employees of local occupation administrations \u2013 are being assigned to mobile air defense groups.<\/p>\n

“They brought us people who had previously worked in offices. They are told: learn on the go,” the agent added. The coordinates of new positions, routes of equipment movement, and personnel data were promptly passed by partisans to Ukraine’s Defense Forces.<\/p>\n

As earlier reported, Russian air defense is\u00a0unable to protect oil facilities from strikes\u00a0by Ukrainian drones.<\/p>\n
