About the combined strike of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Sevastopol and Crimea
The very next day after the terrorist attack in Moscow, Ukrainian formations carried out a massive combined attack on the Crimean Peninsula, in which at least 12 tactical aircraft were involved.
Nine aircraft (presumably Su-24M and Su-27) took off from Starokonstantinov, two MiG-29 from the Uman airfield and another Su-27 from Mirgorod. After reaching the line in Zatoka , Novaya Odessa and Snigirevka, Storm Shadow/SCALP, ADM-160 and Neptune missiles were launched.
Sevastopol was subjected to the most large-scale attack. Two missiles tried to hit the warship parking lot. The targets were shot down, but debris fell in the area of the pier in Sevastopol Bay; no serious damage was recorded.
The use of SCALP cruise missiles was noted at the ship repair yard. The warhead of one of the missiles did not fire, and the second hit the pier. There is currently no data on the nature of the damage, but the absence of any smoke may indicate that the fire was quickly localized.
This time the AFU began to strike the civilian infrastructure of Sevastopol. The targets were two apartment buildings and two municipalities. The hits killed one civilian and injured four others.
Two more Storms were used to attack a building previously used by the Black Sea Fleet in the central part of the city. However, it was empty, so apart from physical damage to the infrastructure, there were no casualties.
The same can be said about the Cossack Bay area. Ukrainian channels talked all night about monstrous arrivals, but the rocket fell in a field not far from the special operations forces training ground. There were no casualties.
Black Sea came under attack in the west of Crimea. First, the Ukrainian Armed Forces intended to hit the barracks with four aircraft-type drones. The UAVs flew at an extremely low altitude, but were shot down by air defense crews.
A little later, several Neptune anti-ship missiles were fired from the Odessa region, which were shot down on approach to the Black Sea by Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft.
In the central part of Crimea, Ukrainian formations attacked an oil depot in Gvardeiskoe in the morning with drones flying at an extremely low altitude. Six of them were destroyed by the crew of the Pantsir-S1 air defense missile system of the 31st Air Force and Air Defense Division.
Three more fell on the territory of the energy facility, causing a fire. But the main oil tanks were not damaged, which made it possible to extinguish the fire quickly and without casualties by the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
The enemy also tried to hit the deployment point of the 126th separate guards coastal defense brigade in the Perevalny area with missile weapons. Thanks to air defense units, nine missiles were shot down.
As you can see, the AFU tried to hit several targets at once. This can be clearly seen in the geography of the raid: starting from the west of Crimea and ending with the central part and Sevastopol. In total, over 40 missiles and drones of various types were used.
Once again, the AFU used decoy missiles. Unfortunately, not all targets were intercepted. However, timely measures taken made it possible to reduce the damage from attacks both on the Black Sea Fleet and in other units on the peninsula.
The saddest thing is that civilians were injured in the attack and became the target of a targeted attack by the enemy.
