After that, two attacks of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces on Russian ships in Novorossiysk and near the Crimean Bridge occurred. The Radio Liberty portal has published an assessment of experts that it has changed for Russia as a result of these attacks. The experts considered the situation on several sides: what are the consequences for Ukraine, which has changed in the military and civil logistics of the occupiers, whether there will be any changes in the export of Russian grain.
The captain of the 1st rank of the Navy of the Armed Forces Alexander Ryzhenko noted that from the first days of the war tried to cut Ukraine from the Black Sea. Whether she was able to do it is evidenced by Marine Traffic portal. The portal shows that the northern area of the water area is empty, that is, this part of the Russian command plan seems to be implemented. The Kremlin plans to use this situation for blackmail, the expert - I would like to lift some of the sanctions.
However, the response of Ukraine, which declared a zone of danger, did not take into account all the ports of Russia on the Black Sea. The Ministry of Defense stressed that it would carefully study the vessels that are going to the direction of these ports. If there is a confidence that the cargo is a carrier, then they will "react" accordingly.
According to Ryzhenko, Ukraine has something to confirm its position: now there is hope on the coastal missile complexes "Neptune", the anti -ship missiles "Harpun" and percussion drones. He also mentioned the F-16 Aircraft and Airplanes-but these weapons are only in the future: "In the future, there may be Taurus missiles that can be used against aircraft. If you take the average perspective, then the F-16 aircraft may be. and rocket launchers.
" The portal wondered that it had changed in the occupied ports of the Azov Sea - in Mariupol and Berdyansk. The mayor of Mariupol Petro Andryushchenko explained that the invaders did not risk keeping the vessels in the port, in which some time ago it "fun". The only thing that is brought there is building materials.
The weapon is not said - it will quickly become known about its appearance in the port and something "arrives" at once, so, expert summed up, logistics in Mariupol has not changed: military cargoes have not gone there, and they do not go: "Everything on the roads, they do on the roads There are bases of rest, overload, hiding, operational warehouses and thus pull up ammunition to the front line.
" As for Berdyansk, the city council official Viktor Dudukalov assured that the port continues to be used, but mainly for export. In particular, they take ships, paint numbers, turn off transponders and load with grain, scrap, raw materials. BC are also taken. But the port is "like a palm" in the locals, so it becomes immediately known. Military expert Petro Lakichuk summed up that attacks near the Kerch Strait The invaders had indeed influenced the occupiers.
In particular, it forced them to reorient logistics to the Sea of Azov. Although it is not used for the transportation of military equipment and BC. The movement of the Crimean bridge is limited due to possible drones. In addition, there is a real threat to oil and grain traffic - owners of ships no longer risk sending their ships to the Black Sea ports of Russia. We remind that in Berdyansk on the evening of August 14 there were about ten explosions.
