Crimea became part of Russia after the referendum in 2014. The loss of Crimea has always been a knot in the heart of Ukrainian President Zelensky. He repeatedly announced plans to return to his territory and said that he believes the peninsula is "occupied".
Recently, Zelensky's desire to take back Crimea has become stronger and stronger. On August 15, Zelensky announced on the president's website, "I decided to establish an advisory committee on the return of Crimea and Sevastopol as an advisory and advisory body under the leadership of the Ukrainian president. The Ukrainian Presidential Office makes suggestions on the individual composition to the head of the president's office within one month." The decree came into effect on August 15.
Ukraine's representative to Crimea Tamira Tasheva said that Ukraine will take back the area through military means. In response, Russian media said that Ukraine's "intention to take back Crimea" will lead to Ukraine's collapse and even evolve into an world war .
If Ukraine attacks Crimea, the Crimea Bridge built by Russia will inevitably become the primary target of attack. At the NATO summit in June this year, Zelensky discussed plans to destroy the Crimea Bridge with British Defense Minister ben Wallace.
. In order to prevent the attack of the Ukrainian army, the Russian side gave special protection to the Crimea Bridge.
According to Russian military observer and retired colonel Victor Baranec, the Crimea Bridge is currently protected by air, ocean, land and support objects, and special sensors are provided on the support objects for tracking and destroying objects. If someone penetrates the area under the bridge, it will be destroyed.
Baranez said, "The Crimea Bridge is a strategic facility that is protected in all possible environments. It is protected by air, and our duty planes stationed in Crimea and fighter are constantly patrolling there. On land, we have the coastal defense complex, S-300 and S-400 air defense missile . On the water, the bridge is guarded by our warship and the Federal Security Agency's patrol boat . The bridge itself is protected by a special sensor. If someone crawls underwater, the system reacts - that's it."
He also added that Ukraine does not have the ability to blow up the Crimea Bridge. "There is no strategic goal in the world that is 100% protected. Pentagon is not 100% secure, and White House is not 100% secure. The enemy is cunning and cunning, and he has been thinking about how to defeat the defenders of this or that object. We try to take that into account and do our best to protect the Crimean Bridge. There are constant reports of attacks on the Crimean Bridge. Ukrainian dreams of destroying the Crimean Bridge. But I want to say, "Gentlemen, give it a try!" "They bet on the US "HIMARS" long-range rocket system, but they still did not achieve the efficiency they wanted. Ukraine does not have such means to destroy the Crimean Bridge."
. In order to prevent Russian mainland from being attacked by missile , on August 16, Sergei Boyev, chief designer of the Russian missile attack warning system, announced that two more Voronezh missile warning radar stations will be built.
Boyev said, "These two early warning radar stations will be deployed in Far East and Northwest. These early warning radar stations are needed to easily detect space and aerodynamic objects, including ballistic missile and cruise missile ."
Early, Russian President Putin said that Russia's weapons were decades ahead of their Western counterparts. The country's leaders took high-precision weapons and robotics as well as combat systems as examples. (Frog in Inoue)
