Ukraine Delivers Biggest Crimea Attack After Hitting Russian Black Sea HQ
Newsweek ^ | Sept. 21, 2023 | Brendan Cole

Ukraine has carried out a large-scale drone attack across the Black Sea and Crimea that comes after Kyiv claimed success in hitting a Russian military headquarters on the occupied peninsula.

Ukraine intends to recapture Crimea, which Russia illegally annexed in 2014, and the peninsula hosts many military installations that have come under increasing attack as Kyiv seeks to degrade Russian logistics and equipment.

The Russian defense ministry said on Thursday that it had shot down 19 drones and that explosions were heard in the Crimean settlements of Novofedorivka, Saky, Yevpatoriya, Dzhankoi and Balaklava...

Russian social media channels painted a different picture, as explosions and the sound of drones hitting targets could be heard in video uploads.

The Baza Telegram channel, which is linked to Russia's security services, reported on Thursday morning "at least seven drones have been shot down in just the last 20 minutes" with witnesses reporting the largest drone attack they had seen.

Meanwhile, three drones were downed over Kursk, Belgorod and Orlov in central and southern Russia, Moscow said. Belgorod, is just 25 miles from the Ukrainian war's front line and has experienced daily air assaults this month...

In the last few weeks, Ukraine is believed to have launched a number of successful attacks on Crimea. On September 13, Ukrainian missile strikes severely damaged the Ropucha-class ship Minsk and the Kilo-class submarine Rostov-on-Don in a Sevastopol dry dock.

Other targets purportedly included Russia's S-400 surface-to-air missile systems, with videos of attacks on August 23 and September 15 showing very large explosions.

The Kerch bridge which links Crimea with the Russian region of Krasnodar has also been subject to attacks and repeated closures...

not dead yet!!

plus, it's now obvious that Russia has a childish "deny-everything" response to any successful Ukrainian strikes -

"all the terrorist drones were shot down ... but the wreckage managed to incidentally fall on its intended targets" LOL

As long as one Ukranian is left to fog a mirror, cowardly people will cheer them on. But one thing is certain, you will never fight yourself.

The Ruzzian media is still in denial over how they’ve had to move their fleet out of Crimea to protect it.

The Ruzzian navy is losing to a country that doesn’t have a navy. What a joke!

It was a good night for Ukraine. They will likely continue to knock out Russian Comms all throughout the winter.

There are so many guffaws in this sentence that it is unreal.

       

How else are you going to get the Ukie cannon fodder into the chutes at the Zaporozhye and Donetsk fire bags, other than out-and-out lies?

ISW is reporting right now that Ukrainian armor has now been geolocated beyond the second defense line in Zaporizhia Oblast.

The Russians are becoming veterans at state-of-the-art peer-to-peer warfare.

Milley's trannies are learning to color-coordinate their BDUs.
