Partisans of the ATES movement conducted reconnaissance of the former Sevastopol Aviation Plant, which is now a key point for planning Russian air strikes on the southern regions of Ukraine. All the data collected on the personnel, equipment and activities of the facility has already been handed over to the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

This was reported by the ATES resistance movement.

This enterprise, known as a "helicopter", actively supports the activities of Russian aviation. According to the guerrillas, a command post has been set up on the territory of the plant, through which combat missions to the south of Ukraine are planned. It is here that important decisions are made regarding the selection of targets and coordination of air strikes. Russian air force officers from Dzhankoy and Rostov-on-Don regularly arrive at this point. Strikes are coordinated here, crews are serviced, and helicopter groups are trained and recovered.

The presence of this center has a significant impact on the intensity of attacks on peaceful cities in the southern region of Ukraine, including Kherson, Mykolaiv and Zaporizhzhia. The guerrillas emphasize that the plant is not just a repair shop, but a 'nerve center' for the occupation aviation.

Recently, ATESh guerrillas exposed preparations to restore a secret submarine base in Crimea. Resistance agents conducted reconnaissance in the area of Balaklava Bay in the temporarily occupied Crimea and recorded suspicious activity near the former military facility - a Soviet underground submarine base known as the 825 GTS facility. After the demolition of abandoned buildings in the coastal zone, a direct view of the entrance to the adit, which was used in Soviet times to load and unload torpedoes and missiles, opened up. It was recorded that the entrance to the complex is now free, the area around it has been cleared and the barriers removed. According to the agents, this may indicate preparations for the reuse of the facility.
