Russia redeploys air defense forces from Crimea deeper into its territory — partisans

The Atesh movement reported the information on Telegram.

“This decision was dictated not only by the strikes of the Ukrainian Defense Forces on oil depots and military infrastructure, but also by public pressure inside Russia,” the statement says.

According to the guerrillas, some of the systems, including those of the 31st Air Defense Division, are already being moved from the peninsula to new positions.

According to the guerrilla movement, the Russians realize that this step creates critical gaps in the defense of Crimea, but they have no other choice. As a result, airfields, military depots, and the Kerch Bridge remain vulnerable.

“The attacks of Ukrainian long-range drones demonstrate that Putin's regime is unable to protect military facilities in the Belgorod, Kursk, Voronezh regions and other regions of Russia. They have to take risks, as the loss of oil depots and logistics hubs in Russia is already reaching a critical point. Putin's regime may lose the ability to effectively supply its troops with fuel, which will inevitably affect their combat capability at the front,” Atesh emphasizes.

• Earlier, the Atesh guerrillas had scouted information about the 606th anti-aircraft missile regiment in the Moscow region.
