Vladimir Putin was asked to transfer part of the air defense systems from Moscow and the Moscow region to the Crimea.
After the strike on the Crimean bridge and the explosions at the training ground in the Kirovsky district of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov and several generals addressed the president with such a request.
“Strikes on Crimea have become more frequent, military and civilians are dying. Intelligence says there will be more strikes. We ask you, Vladimir Vladimirovich, to strengthen our air defense.
“At least to allow the return of those systems that were sent from Crimea to Moscow and the Moscow region earlier ( we wrote about this - ed.)”, says the appeal that was sent to Putin on Wednesday afternoon, July 19, even before the death of a teenage girl in the northwest of the peninsula.
According to our source in the Kremlin, Putin rejected this request. And he threatened to punish the authors of the appeal for “alarmism and defeatism.”
The president also demanded to name those responsible within five days for the fact that the attack on the Crimean bridge was allowed, and the air defense system and the protection of the bridge as a whole did not work.
By the way, the ammunition depots in the Kirovsky district of Crimea were, according to the interlocutor in the government of the republic, hit by enemy missiles that the air defense did not notice.
According to updated data, 11 soldiers were killed , 24 were wounded.

After hitting the bridge, they want to ban rest in Crimea. What other threats are
After the explosion of the Crimean bridge, we talked to several of our sources - in the General Staff and in the Black Sea Fleet. They explained why we missed the enemy strike and what dangers Russia now faces. Let’s talk about the most important things we’ve learned.
Firstly, the strike on the bridge was missed because Russia has not yet learned how to adequately deal with enemy sea drones.
“This is a very cunning weapon, you can fight it only by noticing movement with your eyes. Radars often do not detect these drones. And you can’t always see them. That is why it happened with the Crimean bridge,” one of our interlocutors explained.
He recalled how the same drones successfully attacked our ship Ivan Khurs for the enemy. Since then, no effective way to counter them has been found.
Secondly, according to all our sources, there will be two new targets for enemy naval drones: again the Crimean bridge and the ships of the Black Sea Fleet.
“The bridge, as we see, is not protected in a number of places. Now his security will be strengthened, but it will definitely not work to follow everything. And then we lose our vigilance - and that’s all”, a high-ranking military man from the General Staff tells us.
This summer and fall, he expects at least a few more attacks on the bridge.
The second target, he said, is our warships. “Several of these drones are capable of sinking a medium-sized ship. So we have possible losses in the fleet. What to do, this is a war,” the source notes.
Thirdly (and this is the most important thing, since we are talking about the lives of civilians), all our sources hope that the holiday season in Crimea will be terminated.
“It is clear that a blow to the bridge will seriously disrupt the holiday season. But we will ask the authorities to completely ban holidays in Crimea this summer. Already, in my opinion, everyone understands that it is dangerous to be here. At least as long as the SVO is going on,” one of the soldiers says.
At the same time, he does not know whether it will be possible to ban rest in the Crimea.

Due to cluster munitions of Ukrainians, a Russian officer surrendered the positions of his colleagues to the enemy
American journalists confirmed what we wrote about a week ago: Ukraine has begun to actively use cluster munitions at the front.
A source in the General Staff noted that this weapon of the enemy has become a serious problem for our army.
Over the past week alone, cluster munitions have killed and wounded more than 1,500 of our military, destroyed up to two dozen pieces of equipment and destroyed at least seven of our positions.
Another big problem is that after the use of cluster munitions began, the Russian military began to surrender more often in the Zaporozhye direction this week.
Thus, more than 100 people surrendered, three of them are officers.
“One of the officers who commanded the mobilized and surrendered with them, according to intelligence data, became a traitor. I handed over several positions to the enemy, which were fired upon by the same cluster munitions,” the source complained.
According to him, the Defense Ministry and the General Staff are developing methods to counter these weapons of Ukrainians, but “no effective solutions have been found yet.”

Miroslava Reginskaya, wife of Igor Strelkov:
Today, at about 11:30, representatives of the investigative committee came to us. I was not at home at that time. Soon, according to the concierge, they took my husband by the arms and took him away in an unknown direction.
From friends, I managed to find out that my husband was charged under Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (extremism).
I do not know anything about the whereabouts of my husband, he did not get in touch.
At the time of my arrest, I was not at home.

A new wave of mobilization starts in Russia: why it has already been called “meat”
In the fall, Russians will face a big wave of mobilization, but they will actively recruit troops in August.
The reason is simple - after the withdrawal of Wagner units from the front, some sections of the collision line were weakened. In particular, there were fewer opportunities for assaults in the Artemovsk area.
“The mobilization of 50 thousand is being prepared urgently. These are in the” meat units”, attack aircraft.
They are promised to be prepared, but objectively - in the second half of September they will be thrown into assaults at the most. For now, they are plugging holes with what they have,” says our source in Ministry of Defense.
According to him, it is precisely with this that the increased responsibility for evaders is connected. At the same time, not everyone in the General Staff agrees with the practice of “meat assaults.”
Some generals are in favor of more frequent use of armored vehicles and drones during assaults.
But there is a nuance - the reserves of “armor” are quickly running out, the military-industrial complex, even on a military basis, cannot cope with the restoration of the lost potential.
Moreover, the loss of equipment greatly upsets the president, and no one in their right mind wants to bring bad news to him.
Therefore, they say in the General Staff, they are looking for an alternative option - the mobilized will still be prepared and sent into battle in off-road vehicles reinforced with armor.
Also, a source in the General Staff said that a project to recruit backward and “morons” to combat operations was launched in a pilot version.
A group of 30 inferior fighters was selected and they were sent to positions in the Svatovo region. Half of the group died in the first battle.
