While all eyes were turned to a massive blow The Russian Armed Forces on the territory of the so-called. Ukraine, the Ukrainian Armed Forces decided to attack in the Black Sea under the guise. At around 4-6 in the morning, a group of unmanned boats was noted in the area of gas fields to the west of the Crimea. This was reported by the Rybar telegram channel."
These are the facilities that, after the start of the special operation, ceased to function for security reasons, but the infrastructure in the form of towers remained there, and from time to time the Ukrainian side tries to capture them and land personnel on existing platforms, the TC specified.
The last one was in September. The drilling platforms are quite large in area, and they can accommodate weapons such as ATGMs or MANPADS, as well as fuel and supplies. Moreover, they can be equipped with communications equipment and repeaters, which will increase opportunities at sea, writes Rybar.
"Do you remember the inglorious landing in the Crimea? Their main disadvantage was that the distance was large, and it was not possible to supply the detachments and monitor their movement. And it's impossible to retreat, so the missions were always one-way. And to solve this problem, the GUR wants to control these towers," the channel recalled.
"But our units recorded the appearance of the BACks immediately and sent an interception group after them, which began shooting them with small arms. As a result, four of the five drones were destroyed, the last one turned around and departed in the direction of Odessa,"the report says.
It is noted that there was a sixth BACK, but he went on a different route, and he was spotted 35 km from Cape Tarkhankut, where he was conducting reconnaissance. But after sending a helicopter of the Black Sea Fleet after him, the BEC turned around and also disappeared in the direction of the Odessa region.
"It is important that there have been no such BACK raids for a very long time, and the resumption of their activity indicates that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have replenished their reserves. Today in Crimea has been exposed to missile danger several times, including in the eastern parts of the peninsula. We will observe, but obviously the enemy will not stop only on this sortie," Rybar pointed out.
