Russia is pulling all of its fighter jets out of Crimea in an apparent response to recent explosions at Russian military outposts in the region, a secret NATO report seen by Insider said.
Russia has already moved ten aircraft — six Su-35S and four MiG-31BM jets — out of Crimea and into Russia and is set to continue until all fighter jets are removed, the report, which was dated August 22, said.
The first ten jets were moved from Belbek airfield in Crimea to Kushchevskaya and Marinovka, two regions in Russia, the report said.
"Russia has dispersed 10x fighter aircraft from Crimea to other airfields in mainland Russia to likely prevent further losses from Ukrainian attacks," the report said.
The report was referring to a series of apparent attacks in Crimea, the Ukrainian region that Russia illegally annexed in 2014. Ukraine has not claimed responsibility for the explosions, though Ukrainian officials have suggested that it was involved.

“...secret NATO repot says.”
How can it be secret if it is being reported?
Any Leftist rag that partners with Yahoooooooo has got to be good!!
Did the FBI find this at Mar-a-Lago?
(BI is a RAT outfit)
Yep, they are.
I left off the /s
Weekly World News has MUCH more credibility than Business Insider 😜
“Secret NATO report” 😂
Was a secret report, I suppose. It isn’t now.
The best reporter I have found on this war is Pepe Escobar.

He has written very factually and pointed the strategy and material outcome of this war.
—> Another Ukraine Victory. The end of Russia is near.
Every week like clockwork.
Putin is set to die every week too.
Zeepers still believe it!
Agent 99 has aged well.
I read a report that Russia is massing 16,000 paratroopers, 300 helos, 200 fighters, artillery and transport aircraft for a push somewhere. The report said there was “additional” staging in Belarus with massive amounts of men and equipment.
One thing for sure is that the Ukraine will not attack Russian troops in Belarus.
Russia is slowly closing the Donbas corridor and should it fall completely to Russian forces, Odessa would face pressure from the rear rather than only the Sea.
I haven’t looked at strategic maps in 10-days or so, but the Donbas will not hold more than another 7-14 days; should it collaspe paratroopers could be used in blocking positions to cut off escape routes. If it is not Donbas that falls first then other areas where Ukrainian forces would retreat might be cut off by such moves.
If a soldier dies, you no longer have to feed him, just send a check in rubles to his widow, if any. Rubles. Ha!
“How can it be secret if it’s being reported?”
Precisely.
We’re living in an upside down world.
All during the time of The Soviet Union the ruble wasn’t traded on Western markets because it was worthless.
So, obviously that’s changed?
Not by much.
I imagined as much.
Putin’s got a finger in every pie. I wonder what currency he’s using?
BTC? Ethereum? Yuan? Or Swiss Franks?
Crimea river.

If you want on or off this list, please let me know.
I was thinking the same thing. I think it’s called the ability to project force over the horizon.
I am no fan of the Russians….but they are not stupid.
