Explosions were heard at military depots and air bases in Crimea over the past week, proving that the Ukraine’s military and its backers have the capacity to strike deep behind enemy territory.
The blasts took out 9 airplanes according to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. In addition to taking out half of the Black Sea fleet’s naval jets, the hope of this attack is to change up their military strategy by undermining Moscow’s ability to hold the front lines ahead of an eventual Ukrainian counteroffensive to reclaim territory.
Officials have said setbacks have forced Ukraine to adopt a defensive position, and this recent attack may have done just that. Crimea was formerly seen as a place that couldn’t be touched by the Ukranian’s. Tourists and citizens of Russia just witnessed this attack and have fled to Moscow causing a psychological aspect to this war.
