In other words, why did the night sky of Crimea suddenly become lively? The sound of explosions all night long, crackling like firecrackers, is not a good sign. The explosion at Saki Air Base, the movement was not small, and the sound of ammunition detonation could be heard nearby, which was not simple.
Let's start by talking about the story behind the explosion. According to the latest news, the high-tech gadgets in Saki Air Base, such as the ELM-M long-range early warning radar, the RLM-D decimeter-level radar, and the KU RLK command vehicle, are said to have been blown up. The losses were not small, as satellite photographs show that at least four radars and seven anti-aircraft missile launchers were hit. This thing is really worrying.
But then again, it didn't come without warning. Not long ago, the US military's RQ-4B unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was circling around the vicinity of Crimea, and on July 19, the Ukrainian army dispatched 33 drones and 10 unmanned boats to carry out an intensive attack on the Crimean Peninsula. Although the Russian army shot down and destroyed the incoming drones and unmanned boats, a discerning person can know at a glance that the Ukrainian army is testing and preparing for the next big move.
Speaking of which, let's talk about the tactics of the Ukrainian army. The boys are not vegetarians, and their warplanes take off not from Ukraine itself, but from air bases in Poland. Why? This is something that needs to be thought through. It turned out that domestic airports in Ukraine were all transit stations, which were only responsible for refueling, replenishing ammunition and testing. In this way, after the Ukrainian fighters completed their mission, they flew to the airfields of a third country and stationed them, which was really clever, which not only dodged the missile strikes of the Russian army, but also made the Russian army scratch their heads.
But the Russian army is not a vegetarian either, and their Aerospace Forces and long-range early warning radars have long discovered the sortie location of Ukrainian fighters. This thing really makes people sweat. The MiG-29 fighters and Su-24 fencer fighter-bombers of the Ukrainian army each time first took off in Poland, then refueled at the front-line airfield before going into battle. This tactic is really eye-catching.
But that's not the end of the story. After the attack, the Ukrainian fighters will also use the transit station airport in Ukraine to replenish fuel, and then quickly retreat to Poland and other countries to hide. This trick is really hard to guard against. This also explains why the Russian army has not been able to wipe out the dozens of MiG-29 fulcrum fighters and Su-24 fencer fighter-bombers left by the Ukrainian army.
This thing really makes people feel that something is wrong the more they think about it. All Ukrainian fighters are parked at NATO air bases, relying on NATO maintenance and replenishment of ammunition. This latest MiG-29 fighter can even carry 8 American-made GBU-39 small-diameter bombs, which is really not to be underestimated.
Let's continue to talk and see how this thing will develop, and who will have the last laugh in this contest between the Ukrainian army and the Russian army.
This time, we have to talk about the old Konstantinov airbase in a small town in western Ukraine, which is not simple, built in the Soviet era, and there are underground aircraft bunkers. No, the Ukrainian army engineers are busy secretly repairing the equipment and facilities of this base, which is not a small matter, and it has to be pondered carefully.
Viktor · Litovkin, a colonel of the Russia Army and a military analyst, revealed a little bit about it. He said that the Ukrainian army may be hiding planes here, and the top level in Moscow is aware of this matter and is paying close attention to it. Now, the base is rehabilitating runways, building command stations, deploying new radar facilities, and even underground missile and fuel depots.
Doesn't this sound a bit mysterious? But there's a lot more to it about. The repair of this base may be that the Ukrainian army is looking for a hiding place for F-16 fighters. This place is simply an ideal hiding spot for the Ukrainian army. But don't forget, Moscow's top brass aren't vegetarians either, they know everything about it.
Speaking of which, let's talk about the Russian army's ground-penetrating bombs. This thing is really eye-catching. The Russian army is strengthening the more powerful Iskander tactical missile, which can carry a high-explosive ground-penetrating warhead and is designed to deal with those underground bunkers.
Litovkin revealed that the Russian army may use Kh-59MKM ground-penetrating bombs and Kh-59MK2 ground-penetrating bombs. This thing, weighing 320 kilograms, uses an intrusion warhead, which can form a metal jet for pre-penetration and perforation. Then, with a continuous strike, expanding the area of the borehole, and finally forming a complete breakthrough, destroying the fighters hidden in the ground.
But this is only the tip of the iceberg, the Russian army has even more powerful. The Tu-22M3 supersonic bomber tows the FAB-9000 gliding guided bomb, the mother of iron bombs weighing up to 9 tons, which is second only to tactical nuclear bombs. Imagine if this thing were smashed on the Soviet-era airfield of the Ukrainian army, the scene would be truly spectacular.
Doesn't this sound exciting? But the meaning behind this is not just a military contest. This is a psychological war, a contest of strategy and intelligence. These actions of the Russian army are not only to combat the Ukrainian army, but also to show the world their strength.
