Elana Panini from Russtrat.ru: On today’s missile attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol

Colleagues once again , and quite rightly, remind us of the warnings that were sounded in Russia at different levels regarding the threat of enemy strikes on Crimea. Today’s missile attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol was just such a blow. Direct and demonstrative.

▪️ Why does Kyiv still manage to attack targets in Russia? Because Russia leaves him such an opportunity . As soon as they seriously took up the security of the Crimean Bridge and the comprehensive provision of fleet protection, the enemy’s successes in these areas greatly decreased.

At the same time, the enemy launches cruise missiles from extreme distances and manages to escape before our own weapons reach there. This means that one of Russia’s most obvious responses in this situation should be to increase production volumes of anti-missile and anti-drone defense systems. And not by times, but by an order of magnitude.

This is not a call to play defensively. There should be more, more frequent and more accurate flights to military and infrastructure facilities in Ukraine, and to everything that poses a threat to Russia. But strengthening our missile defense is a matter of principle.

▪️ Besides, it would be nice to do something about NATO reconnaissance aircraft. It doesn’t matter what it will be: it’s unclear whose drone will be fast enough to crash into the Poseidon, which provides Kyiv with target coordinates. Another “unprofessional” dousing with fuel. Weapons based on new physical principles. This is all a matter of technology. Determination and will are more important now.

They beat us because they can. It’s time to fix it.
