“Logistics noose”: Russian Crimea is within range of Ukrainian missiles
After the retreat of the Russian army from Kherson to the left bank of the Dnieper, the Crimean Peninsula found itself under the threat of shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
This was reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent and was featured in a report by the Apostrophe TV internet channel.
“The occupation authorities were forced to withdraw all the way to Genichesk, and a huge territory to the north of Crimea came under the attack of high-precision weapons of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. For clarity, let’s take two types of weapons that are currently used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The first is the Haymars MLRS.
We will set the starting point 15 kilometers from the Dnieper, that is, outside the most risky zone, which is under enemy fire control. Thus, from the coast of the Kherson region, these MLRS cover most of the left bank part of the Kherson region,” says leading military expert Valentin Badrak.
According to him, a much more interesting situation is with the Tochka U missile system, which “even taking into account the 15-kilometer buffer zone reaches Krasnopeerkopsk.”
“But the most important thing is that “Haymars” and “Tochka U” keep under fire control the railway lines that the invaders recently used for logistics support,” the journalist adds.
It is noted that “Point U” also reaches the strategic branch that connects Crimea with Melitopol.
In turn, ex-Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Igor Romanenko, draws attention to the fact that not only “Tochka”, but also “Alder M” can hit 110 - 120 kilometers.
“One can imagine the panic of the Russian command when Ukraine receives ATACMS operational-tactical missiles at its disposal, which can hit at a distance of up to 300 kilometers,” notes Apostrophe TV.
Russia's problems in Crimea also included the possible failure of the ferry crossing as a result of stormy winds.
True, a reservation immediately follows that “even complete logistical isolation does not mean that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able to easily de-occupy Crimea.”
“However, strategically Crimea is already in an advantageous position. The UAF remains to regain control of Novaya Kakhovka, where the North Crimean Canal originates, as well as to cut off the land corridor of the invaders in the area of Melitopol or Mariupol. A second strike on the Crimean Bridge will not hurt,” says the author of the program.
Military expert Pyotr Chernik predicts that “Crimea will definitely be squeezed.”
“The Kherson logistics fire noose technique worked 100 percent,” Chernik said.
