The Russian Federation does not blame Ukraine of kicks in the Crimea, so as not to recognize the powerlessness of its air defense - ISW

Russia does not blame Ukraine of Saki's airfields in Novofedorivka in Crimea, because it would confirm the inefficiency of Russian air defense systems. This was the case with a sink of a Russian cruiser Moscow. About it writes the American Institute for War Research (ISW). "The simultaneity of explosions at two different objects probably excludes the official Russian version of a random fire, but does not exclude either diversion or a long -range missile strike," the statement said.

Analysts say that Ukraine could modify its Neptune missiles for land use (as Russians with anti -ship and anti -aircraft missiles did), but there are no evidence that would confirm this hypothesis. On Tuesday, August 9, several explosions were heard in the Crimea occupied by Russia. The so -called "Ministry of Health" of the occupied Crimea stated that the number of victims "as a result of the event" in Novofedorivka increased to nine.
