The Russians actively intensify the defense of the Crimean bridge, despite the lack of significant naval forces to protect this strategic object. This was reported by a spokesman for the Navy of the Armed Forces Dmitry Pletenchuk on the air of a Telelorphone.
According to Pletenchuk, the Crimean bridge is now under a dense protection by Russian troops. “This object is quite densely protected by the Russians. And despite the fact that the maritime components are not in fact for its defense, they build other mechanisms that, in principle, should compensate for the absence of ships in the sea, ”he said.
Dmitry Pletenchuk emphasized that the Russians are actively building various hydraulic structures, including pontoons, barges and other incomprehensible structures along the bridge. This indicates serious efforts on the part of the aggressor to strengthen the defensive lines, despite the absence of the marine component.
“It is also aircraft that is constantly present in the air. Therefore, they, of course, try to protect this object, ”Pletenchuk added.
The defense of the Crimean bridge is of great strategic importance to Russia as the peninsula is used as a key military base. According to the reports, the Defense Forces of Ukraine have developed a plan for the return of Crimea under the control of Ukraine and the destruction of this important object. According to Yusov, Crimea is strategically important in terms of military logistics and supply, which makes it critical for Russian military operations.
