Russian military continue to dig in Crimea

The Russian Armed Forces continue to build fortifications on the western coast of the Black Sea, along the Saki - Yevpatoria highway and along the railroad, and are strengthening the defense of the railroad.

According to the Center for Investigative Journalism (CIJ), the occupiers have begun installing anti-drone "grills" at railway infrastructure facilities. At the same time, the occupation business continues to sell apartments built right next to the trenches in the prohibited beach area. The CJR also reports that in the settlements of the southwestern coast of Crimea, the Russian military is installing concrete structures - checkpoints or shelters.

Earlier, the Center for Investigative Journalism reported that on the island of Tuzla, near the Kerch bridge, Russians are installing metal towers with platforms on which air defense systems are placed to protect the illegally built bridge across the Kerch Strait. At the top of each tower, journalists note, the Russians have placed Pantsir-S1M surface-to-air missile systems, or rather, the combat modules themselves.

Earlier, theATES guerrilla movement reported that the Russians were installing two rows of old barges along the Kerch bridge that are no longer in use, and erecting a new fence around the perimeter. Prior to that, the enemy was moving Russian air defense systems from Crimea closer to the Crimean bridge, but on Russian territory. The convoy was accompanied by military vehicles.

According to the guerrillas, this indicates that Russia's defense system is facing serious problems related to the insecurity of certain areas, such as the Kursk region.

In addition, Kirill Budanov, the head of the GUR , said that from a military point of view , it is much easier to recapture Crimea than Donbas, because there are two points of entry into Crimea - from the Russian side and from ours: The Crimean bridge and the land isthmus.
