Ukrainian Armed Forces keep Sevastopol in suspense: Russian occupants step up security measures

The ATES guerrilla movement operating within the 12th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment passed on information about changes in the location of personnel and equipment, and the occupiers stopped deploying them on the territory of the units. The abrupt change is justified by the Russian occupiers ' fear of attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The command decided to withdraw most of the unit's personnel outside the military unit. This step indicates an attempt to minimize losses in the event of a possible attack. Only those soldiers who are on combat duty were left behind.

In addition, all the equipment of the 12th anti-aircraft missile regiment, including S-400 systems, was moved to shelters or to conditionally safe areas. According to the guerrillas, such actions by the command indicate an increase in the vulnerability of military facilities in the occupied territories and demonstrate panic in the face of a real threat from the Ukrainian armed forces.

In addition to the above changes in the 12th GRP, it is worth noting that similar processes are recorded by the ATES guerrilla movement in other parts of the occupied peninsula. In particular, in Sevastopol, the families of senior officers of the Black Sea Fleet are being actively evacuated due to "fire danger" - probably due to fear of the Ukrainian Armed Forces strikes on military facilities.

At the same time, the Russian military is massively moving equipment - including S-400 and other air defense systems - to shelters after repeated attacks by Ukrainian drones and unmanned aerial vehicles. A similar situation with the fortifications and evacuation of families was observed during the transfer of additional air defense assets to the Dzhankoy airfield.

This leads to the conclusion that the Russian command is demonstrating growing anxiety and is forced to take additional measures in response to the success of the Ukrainian armed forces.
