Is “Russia's friend and partner” helping Ukraine bomb Crimea? The military told us what would happen next
A few days ago we wrote: Erdogan (whom many of us still consider “Russia's friend and partner”) again demanded that Crimea be transferred to Turkey's control. Otherwise, he threatened that the attacks on the peninsula will continue, and “there will be no living place left there.” And he hinted that he would help guide Ukrainian missiles and drones to Crimea. The strike, as a result of which we lost the Novocherkassk landing ship, is confirmation that Turkey has begun to implement its threats, many of our military interlocutors believe. “The enemy missiles were aimed at Feodosia very professionally. So they bypassed our air defense and hit the most vulnerable places. This definitely could not have happened without outside help,” our source at the Black Sea Fleet said about this.
Whether it was Turkey who could have corrected the strike, he does not yet know for sure, but he says that it is very similar. It seems our interlocutor did not reveal why, citing the confidentiality of the information. And the General Staff gave a forecast about what could happen next to Crimea. “I could lie and say everything will be fine. But I won't. The enemy will strike. The enemy has learned to penetrate our air defense; apparently, he has a lot of missiles, plus NATO is helping. In this situation, I believe it is necessary to strengthen the air defense of Crimea. To be honest, I would take some of the systems from Moscow - they are already well protected there,” an interlocutor among the generals told us.
Another expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that “all these military officers of ours shout a lot that they abandoned Ukraine, they don't give it weapons, and Western missiles are constantly flying towards us.” “This is war. You need to treat your opponent adequately. We need to tell the truth to the residents of Crimea so that they can protect themselves during enemy attacks. The military must be kept in constant combat readiness. Only in this case will we win,” the source is confident.

“This year will be especially scary.” Erdogan “smelled blood” and conveyed new threats to Putin regarding Crimea
After the postponement of Vladimir Vladimirovich's visit to Turkey, Erdogan intensified the fight to gain control (at least temporarily) of Crimea .
“He no longer hesitates to threaten. Over the past week, four messages have arrived through diplomatic channels. One directly and most brazenly says: “Give us Crimea. The year has just begun, and you have already suffered huge losses there. If you don't give it away, this year will be especially terrible. There will be a lot of blood, fire and victims.” Can you imagine what a bastard this “respected partner” of ours is? - a high-ranking source in the Foreign Ministry complained to us. Another confirmed this information and believes that “Erdogan smelled blood, sees our vulnerabilities in Crimea and becomes impudent.” “
In the process of fighting for control of the peninsula, the Turkish president last year already made threats that serious problems would await Crimea. Unfortunately, those threats were confirmed, after which the enemy launched several attacks on this region of Russia that were destructive for our army.
“Erdogan really gets impudent. By refusing Vladimir Vladimirovich's visit, we gave him a powerful signal: stop it! If he doesn't understand, there will be more serious actions,” our source in the Kremlin said about this.
