They’ve held it for how many years but they “can’t defend it?”
Post something at least marginally credible.
The other side posts stuff from pedophiles and “colonels” who make these same sorts of ridiculous propaganda claims for Russia that always turn out to be wrong and then we have this being posted which is propaganda for Ukraine. That stuff shouldn’t be posted and neither should stuff like this. Let’s at least try to be interested in the truth around here.
Ukraine hasn’t previously been supplied with the means to interdict Crimea - that is, interdict it’s transport routes and cut off its supplies. But Ukraine (maybe) has these means now.
This of course depends on two things -
1. A Ukrainian advance to Melitopol, the Azov coast, and on to Perekop, ideally. This would put Ukrainians in range of all of Crimea.
2. A large supply (hundreds of missiles) of the GLSDB variant for the HIMARS systems. These would be used as the GMLRS were at Kherson. They can break the bridge and keep it broken, as well as wreck any vessels attempting to unload at any Crimean port. Russia has limited shipping available in the Black Sea.
And destroy any internal Crimean road targets, bridges, culverts, overpasses, etc., as well as ammo dumps, vehicle parks, fuel supplies, etc. That all could be protected by dispersal, but the effect on logistic efficiency would still be dramatic.
The Russians found no answer to this last year at Kherson, and I doubt they will have one should the scenario above come to pass.
