Russian troops left Snake Island

Today is a holiday in Kyiv, Zelensky is celebrating the "great victory" in connection with the "liberation" of the Snake Island in the Black Sea. True, there is no merit of the Ukrainian military in this, the Russian garrison left the island voluntarily.

The information that Russian troops left Zmeiny was published by a number of Russian TG channels, and then confirmed by the Ministry of Defense. According to the military, the island was left as a gesture of goodwill for the organization of humanitarian corridors and the export of grain from Odessa. Now Kyiv must clear the coast, as Zelensky promised, as Russia has removed the last obstacle preventing it.

The Russian Federation does not interfere with the efforts of the UN to organize a humanitarian corridor for the export of agricultural products from the territory of Ukraine (...) Now the word is up to the Ukrainian side, which still does not clear the Black Sea coast from its coast, including port waters

- it is spoken in the message of the Ministry of Defense.

According to the report, the garrison left the island on 30 June. Some Internet resources already in the morning reported on an attempt by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to attack Serpentine. It was reported that Russia allegedly lost one Pantsir-S MANPADS.

Just a couple of days ago, information was received from Ukrainian sources that Zelensky gave two weeks to the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to capture Zmeinoye with a landing. In Kyiv, they plan to pass it off as a "big victory" against the backdrop of a complete failure in the Donbass. The island allows you to control not only Odessa, but also the mouth of the Danube.

But what about the statements that there one Shell shot down both planes and MLRS missiles?

[Machito]

We are waiting for the landing of Ukrovermacht on Serpentine to be sent to a meeting with Bandera.

[Sergio_7]

Of course it will! Under the current conditions (deliveries of new weapons to Kuev, it makes no sense to keep Father Serpentine, only to lose people. And ukrov will be beaten there regularly!

[Evgeny Ivanov_5]

This is not our method. How about a goodwill gesture? Now you can’t really touch it, otherwise they will say that it’s impossible to trawl the fairway and navigate ships under fire. Now there will be, on our side, a gray zone where you cannot shoot.

[Tatyana]

To be honest, I am shocked by this news.

REFERENCE
"Snake" is a small island in the Black Sea, located on the border of Romania and Ukraine.
The legal island belongs to the Izmail district of the Odessa region. But it was not always so. For many years, "Snake" passed from hand to hand. It belonged to the Republic of Ingushetia, then the Turks, then the Romanians. The issue was finally resolved after the Second World War, and finally “Snake” became part of the USSR.
The island, with its coastal zone, is rich in minerals, oil and gas, but Kyiv was unable to develop them.

MILITARY
"Snake" is the key to the Crimea, as well as to Odessa and Romania.
In the post-Soviet period, according to Russian intelligence, earlier NATO equipment was based on Zmein, which made it possible to correct the operation of American Tomahawk-type cruise missiles.

For the Russian army, control over this island "Snake" completely blocks all Ukrainian military and merchant ships, and it is also a kind of springboard for the NVO for a possible further offensive of Russian troops on Odessa.

On the island, you can place a Russian air defense system, now approaching Russia to NATO borders on its own. After all, from the “Snake” NATO member Romania is within easy reach. Yes, and NATO ships conducting exercises in the Black Sea will no longer feel comfortable.

There is also another factor - this is the containment of the Romanian authorities, who have long laid their eyes on this small island of strategic and economic significance and will certainly take advantage of the current situation in the future to its ANNEXATION from Ukraine.

What can you do, with the advent of harpoons from the Ukrainians, it became impossible to supply the island. But if the Ukrainians gain a foothold there, Sevastopol will already be in the affected area with the same harpoons.

[bulgaria_]

What if the Harpoon kids are moved to the island? How far to the Crimean bridge? Can it be reached with a howitzer or MLRS now? What about Dot U? It's a pity "Moscow" and other ships are here. And in your media (more precisely Channel One) nothing, nothing.
To be honest, I don’t understand what kind of special operation is when the first target is not Zelensky, and his entourage. I can name another - a hasty military operation. The special is prepared for a long time and does not last long.

[mva]

It is possible to move, but they also need to be protected there. Our air defense could not protect the Serpentine and there were many arrivals on it.
There are 260 km to Sevastopol, with a harpoon range of 300 km.
Tochka, howitzers and MLRS (with those missiles that Ukry received) will not reach the Crimean bridge and Sevastopol.
The Crimean bridge cannot be destroyed with harpoons. the main supports are there, and they will not suffer too much from such a weak explosion.
And on the bridge it was possible to smack from land (for example, from Zaporozhye), Serpentine has nothing to do with it, Serpentine is about Sevastopol.

[bulgaria_]

As I understand it, Russia does not own the Black Sea because of AWACS and drones. Can AWACS be seen there in flyradar? And what prevents a NATO helicopter from landing? Strike?

[mva]

The air over the Black Sea is not completely controlled. Yes, a helicopter at low altitude and modern (low-altitude) cruise missiles can fly there.
It is unlikely that AWACS can be seen in flyradar, it most likely goes there with transponders turned off.

[bulgaria_]

No, it is positive for NATO 1. Seek and you will find. I sent a link to Podolyak's publication in rutube. Right after the attack on the platform.

Quote: Tatiana

"Snake" is the key to the Crimea, as well as to Odessa and Romania.

But not when the enemy has a MLRS capable of getting there.
Otherwise, the island becomes a large mass grave.
Thanks to the United States, Ukraine has such a system.
And there have already been test launches in the Donbass.
And if the helicopters and air defense drones of the island are shot down at once, it is unrealistic to completely shoot down a volley of MLRS.
Don't expect a hit.
They left him right.

Quote: Shurik70

Yes, it is clear that the withdrawal of allied troops from the island "Snake" is a measure on the part of Russia FORCED!

However, it’s also impossible to name a STRATEGIC VICTORY of Russia over the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this place on the occasion of the withdrawal of Russian troops from Snake Island!
Why is this happening to us? That's what we're talking about!

[meandr51]

In war, one must be able to think flexibly and respond to the situation. Integrity only hurts. The main thing is victory. Read how Kutuzov fought with different opponents. He fooled his head so that no one understood what he was doing. But he always won.

[Gardamir]

They left him right.

Then Kherson will be left, Donbass...

[meandr51]

It will be necessary - and Moscow will be burned again. The main thing is victory.

[alexmach]

Thanks to the United States, Ukraine has such a system.

And before that, Ukraine didn’t have such systems or something.

[bulgaria_]

Here, but no one thought that there would be a pumping of weapons from the west? I'm sure I thought. Is there something here I hope it will be positive in the end.

[Luenkov]

And they themselves will hit ... NATO ...

[Garris199]

The island is small, there is one Iskander with a cassette warhead and all the equipment can be covered.

[PSih2097]

Quote: Garris199

The island is small, there is one Iskander with a cassette warhead and all the equipment can be covered.

And let's compare the full salvo of the MLRS of the same "Tornado S" and "Iskander" in terms of cost, moreover, in the version of both BR and KR ...
My opinion - it was impossible to hand it over - this is a loss of our policy to NATO IMHO ...

[Garris199]

Well, if the Ukrainians place something worthwhile on the island and capable of threatening us from there, for example, anti-ship missiles, air defense or Himarsy, then this is a completely justified cost goal for Iskander. And if Sashko and Mykola conditionally sit there to guard the flag, then it’s a pity to spend on them and Tornado because there is no threat from them, well, maybe except for propaganda.

[TatarinSSSR]

Our Iskanders hit the old Ukrainian Buk. And nothing, did not go bankrupt.

[meandr51]

So compare the cost of our boats and air defense systems, as well as people with the cost of Ukrainian shells, for which they pay nothing.

No one will waste missiles on this piece, fab-500 with su-24 - and that's it ...

As I understand the word "cliché" is something that is used more often and without much meaning. And what I said I do not think is said more often. Otherwise .... then I'm not the first.

Whatever we were, but all the centuries-old attempts to make us lackeys failed. What can not be said about many "civilized" Europeans.

[Alexander Seklitsky]

Ukrainians will not gain a foothold there either. Russia has more weapons. Any ukrov garrison will disappear in minutes

[ramzay21]

Russia has had more means of destruction for a long time, but there are no means of detection and target designation, and we saw how it all worked on Snake Island.
Our means of destruction can reach any object on the territory of Ukraine, but our means of detection are not able to detect them with MLRS, Tochka-U, Neptunes and Harpoons, otherwise they would be destroyed when advanced to their positions either by Caliber or VKS.

[meandr51]

This does not apply to the Snake. You can hit the coordinates with anything.

[ABC-schutze]

List the components of the "heap of everything", if it doesn't make it difficult. About the flags, after we discuss ...

[zenion]

Reminds me of an old Jewish joke. Russian language lesson in a Jewish school. The teacher is children, if you do not know how to write statosrat, or sratostat, write dirigopol. ------ Thus, if the grapes could not be eaten, then it is not yet ripe. Very ancient. The fox saw that a ram was grazing at the top of the hill and he had big mudya, said I’ll tear off and eat. She climbed up the mountain. The ram saw her, and when she approached, he hit her with his horns. She rolled down the mountain. I lay down, caught my breath and said they didn’t come off, and it’s not necessary, I didn’t really want to. Read this, how a blacksmith made a zilch from a large piece of metal.

[Emergency]

It's sad, of course. But in this case, why are they? Or will the descendants of the proto-ukrovs pull the island where they want? On this island, any position is like a flea on a bald head.

[Andrey Stavropolsky]

AND? Well, harpoons, so what? Put harpoons in an open field and wait for them to be demolished. So it is there. In order to put something serious there, many people need to have it in the complex, air defense aviation and space, and much more. Otherwise, at least every day the positions will be demolished

[flicker]

But if the Ukrainians gain a foothold there, Sevastopol will already be in the affected area with the same harpoons.

Yeah, there the distance from Odessa, that from this island to Sevastopol is almost the same about 300 km.

In general, the value of this island for the military can only be its proximity to Romania (NATO), to control the airspace.
But this island is extremely difficult to supply and protect.
So the value is not great, and if they still transfer the S-500 to the Crimea, then nothing at all.

[alekc73]

Serpentine is a strategic place. An unsinkable aircraft carrier. Allows you to control the entire northwestern direction of the Black Sea. It was an awl in the underbelly of NATO. Leaving the island is not a mistake. This is a betrayal. We will not see Odessa. Ships and aircraft of the Black Sea Fleet will not be able to work there. I’m sure the Armed Forces of Ukraine will immediately take it. And there will be anti-ship missiles and air defense of the NATO type. There are no words.

[military_cat]

Unsinkable aircraft carrier.

No runway?

No runway?

there UKKS in the land version can be installed, well, or Club-K in the "surface-to-surface" version.

[meandr51]

Nothing will be there. Aircraft carriers are Crimea or Chinese artificial islands. And the Serpentine is just useless nonsense with known coordinates. He doesn't give anything to ukram either. Control is exercised in other ways.

[Volkof]

We heard your political cry. Now the military factor. The coastline in the Odessa region is covered by the air defense of NATO countries in terms of detecting our assets. UAVs and US reconnaissance aircraft hang in the Black Sea, they not only detect our ships, but also provide real-time target designation, including on Snake Island, already to their means in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Russian Armed Forces do not have such means, it does not control the coast of Ukraine in the Odessa region in real time, and even more so there is no target designation ... There are means for destruction, but there is no target designation for them ... and will not be ... In such conditions, keep Serpentine is impossible! Moreover, the ships do not have long-range air defense systems ... And there is nothing at all to detect low-flying targets in the "advanced army" !!! Who changed to what is not a question. There is nothing to hold the snake with, there is no possibility in the conditions of the intervention of pi_ndos and their intelligence equipment ...

Here is the main question for the Russian authorities for all of us!

Who is to blame and what are we going to do with all this after that?

[Volkof]

The General Staff of the Armed Forces does not have a concept of conducting combat operations in a modern war. There is no concept of conventional combat in modern warfare. The General Staff of the Armed Forces and all the generals are engaged only in strategic weapons, well, operational-tactical, they do not stoop to conventional combat operations. That's why everywhere everything is through ... back ... And in the LDNR for 8 years, and in Syria, and in a special operation ... The weapons are modern, but we don’t know how to use them, there is no target designation in real time .... with the help of technical funds ... Where is the ESU TZ "Constellation-M"? Even the boilers cannot be closed in operational terms ... There is no and cannot be an operational environment, these "storytellers" have no funds, they see nothing further than binoculars in real time ... Putin does not rush the military. Why rush them if they can't do anything? Instead of 2 weeks, which month?

[bulgaria_]

Most likely waging war without a bunch of casualties.

[Tatyana]

It has probably been a month since Russia's military experts say that Russia is now in the current conditions need the State Defense Committee as a permanent advisory body that prepared the decisions of the President of the Russian Federation as the head commander in the region:
- military construction,
- implementation of the most important decisions on the security of the Russian Federation on strategic issues of defense policy.
And that he would solve all issues in the country, as under Stalin during the Second World War.

For example.
On June 30, 1941, in the USSR, by the decree of Comrade Stalin, an all-seeing body was formed in wartime - the USSR State Defense Committee, headed by I.V. Stalin. For the duration of the war, this body became the country's highest state authority, concentrating all power in its hands.

Under Yeltsin, from 1996 to 1998 in Russia, by decree of Mr. Yeltsin, the Defense Council headed by B. N. Yeltsin was created and worked.
Defense Council - it was an advisory body that was empowered to develop for the President, issues related to military construction, as well as carry out the implementation of the most important decisions of the Russian Security Council on strategic issues of defense policy.

[alexey sidykin]

Less pathos and more common sense. We do not have the Second World War and the fighting is not on our territory ... To introduce GKO. In your opinion, Stalin once did not arrange the State Defense Committee when the Japanese were smashed at Khasan and Khalkhin Gol, when the Soviet-Finnish War was on, when the Western territories were liberated ...

[ramzay21]

It has been probably a month since Russia's military experts say that Russia now needs the State Defense Committee under the current conditions

Do you remember Krylov's fable "Quartet"? You can create at least GKO, even SovNarkom, even Kultprosvet, the result will be the same.
The name decides nothing, people decide. Where is Stalin and where is Putin?

[alexey sidykin]

I didn’t remember something about the GKO during the battles at Khasan and Khalkhin Gol, and during the Soviet-Finnish war, the GKO was also not introduced ... probably then it was not Stalin who led the country ...

In general, you are right, but where do you get people of the scale of Joseph Visarionovich and other members of the State Defense Committee of that time? Unfortunately, of all the politicians of the Russian Federation, perhaps only two partially reach the titans. This is Vladimir Vladimirovich himself and Sergey Kozhugetovich. The rest are all so-so through the pen deck. Unfortunately

No need. There is nothing to spoil the existing reality of the name of an outstanding state body. Stick to existing advice.

The one who cannot be guilty now is to blame, he is now always and in everything right.
The experience of the last twenty years suggests that we will not do anything, they will simply not talk about it, and after a while everyone will forget about it.
In general, all these problems have been covered in their articles by Klimov and Timokhin for many years. Most commentators considered them all-weapons, and they turned out to be right. Everything is right

Timokhin (for a second, an amateur - a man not a military man at all) wrote about this even after the first abandonment and re-capture of the island. But what the military leadership was thinking about is a good question. But Serpentine, after all, is far from the only reason for questions.

And most importantly, more holidays and festivals large and different within the country for the peace of the population (the president is calm and cheerful). The only pity is that those thousands of our soldiers who died will not hear this fun.

[GDP]

Something in recent months, our unilateral gestures of goodwill, cause such feelings that you can only speak obscenely. If this island is so unimportant, then why did they ruin so much equipment and people? It is not clear whether the ships that will take grain from Odessa will be inspected. I don’t see any other reason to fight for this island like that, except for controlling Odessa from the sea, preventing the threat of landing and supplying weapons. Grain can also be delivered via other routes ... And are we really pursuing the goals in this war that our president announced. Denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine will be at all? If so, how is this possible without taking control of most of Ukraine? Or do we just trust them? If all the same, we plan to achieve these goals. How to solve them with cash? A protracted war is not beneficial for us, from the point of view of the economy, Russia is many times inferior to the NATO countries ...

[mva]

What control over Odessa? Are you talking about a landing operation? It is practically impossible to carry it out, as a rule, an amphibious operation is an auxiliary one, when the main forces of the defenders are busy repelling attacks from land. By land, they could not even get close to Odessa.
And both sides need Snake Island to control the waters of the Black Sea (for us, for air defense, since Moscow is at the bottom and there is no more long-range air defense in the Black Sea Fleet, and Ukraine is for deploying anti-ship missiles). If harpoons appear on the island, then even Sevastopol will be in their zone of destruction.

[Sebastian Aristarkhovich Pereira]

Marvelous !!! We agreed to the point that the Ukrainians can beat on the island in order to overtake us from there, and we, with all our Iskanders and Zircons-Calibers, will calmly let them whitewash the hut there and set up a little garden?!
If we have deprived ourselves of the opportunity to die on the island, then now let the "overcome invaders" die there .... Those who make difficult decisions can be criticized by those who themselves are in similar situations. To become like grandmothers near the entrance is not the most useful and necessary activity in today's situation.

The snake wrote a comment on the island without thinking properly, just emotions. In the light of the supply of new long-range weapons, this is an unpleasant, but still a necessity ... It is sad that there is a lack of forces on our part and a misunderstanding of why no active actions are being taken to strengthen them, at least on the part of volunteers. (active advertising, explanatory work, financial and organizational side of the issue, free military training courses for those who do not have self-confidence or relevant skills, etc.). The active work of our state from this side is not felt.

Now Kyiv will try to promote this "overcome" and hide the defeat near Lysychansk with it. Well, as for the losses that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will suffer, of course, few people will be worried.

We can say that it is the Turks or the Ukrainians who are bombing. And you can not pay attention to the island at all. Nothing depends on him.

After a gesture of goodwill from Russia, Europe immediately thanked her by paying the SVO at an increased rate. The price of gas in Europe. There are still places where the Ukrainian is not scared.

[Kesha1980]

We are waiting for the landing of Ukrovermacht on Serpentine

And why is it stolen? We will destroy the ukrov. But what if the Romanians or Turks land? Just let's go then.
After Bucha and Tyra, all "good will gestures" should be considered by the investigators. The commander of the Airborne Forces, as I understand it, it was after Bucha that they changed everything. This means that the jambs against our prisoners while covering the "maneuvers" are recognized.

[kot423]

Quote: Kesha1980

But if the Romanians or Turks land

Well, they will land, so what? If the official Armed Forces is a declaration of war with all the consequences. If the "volunteers" - go to fertilizer, like the rest of the geese, not subject to the convention.

[Kesha1980]

What does "declaration of war" have to do with it? The island is Ukrainian, the troops of ANY state land at the invitation of the Ukrainians (or is there a war going on in these territories?). They can also officially hide behind "ensuring the security of humanitarian corridors".

[meandr51]

They will destroy anyone on the island, as they are now destroying American instructors.

[Kesha1980]

I don’t believe in such decisive actions on the island at all. Only ukrov will wet.

[Negruz]

And why didn’t they land in 4 months?

[Kesha1980]

It was busy there. They are shy)

[Negruz]

And earlier they removed the garrison from there - so what?

[Kesha1980]

Everything has its time. It is not harmful to assume possible negative options. It's good not to assume.

[Negruz]

Anything can be assumed...
The only thing is that it contradicts

Here in such decisive actions on the island in general I do not believe

And then, it turns out: here - we play, here - we don’t play (they wrapped the fish) ...

[Kesha1980]

Really, I don't believe it. And I believe in possible impudence, impudence and provocation.

What declaration of war? To whom? Officially Serpentine is the territory of ukroreykha. The Sumerians can launch anyone there, under the guise of all sorts of "instructors" who are in their viper just as immeasurably and no one has declared war on anyone. And whether to shoot at him or not, that will be our decision.

[kot423]

Quote: Piramidon

What declaration of war? To whom?

I start from the words of Pasechnik: "

The head of the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR), Leonid Pasechnik, answered the question of whether their people's militia would stop at the border of the Lugansk region.

He said that if Kharkov and Odessa turn to the LPR for help, then their proposals will be considered in the republic.
That is, legally Serpentine falls under the Odessa region, LPR is recognized by the Russian Federation = assistance agreement = any contingent in. state-in on Serpentine - either entry into hostilities, or mercenaries.

[ramzay21]

As far as I know, Russia exchanged 144/144 ordinary + wounded / seriously wounded Azov soldiers.

When these seriously ill Nazis, who have gained vast experience in urban combat, begin to share this experience with the Armed Forces of Ukraine and lead the Nazi detachments in the rear of the defending troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, then our losses will increase and the advance will slow down. Who then will explain to the families of the dead fighters that they died because the Ukrainians received convinced fanatics who gained valuable experience in urban battles and our schemes developed during the assaults on Mariupol no longer work?
And these heroes will help to brainwash and those thousands who still doubted will go to the front, who will fight with them?
And why was this SVO even started if we suddenly release the most inveterate Nazis? How do you explain this to those whose relatives they killed, who lost their home? How do you explain this to those who fought with them in Mariupol and lost their comrades?

Are you so naive? A referendum in the regions, a request for help to the LPR, = Our Serpentine (there are many variations, and leaving a rock at a key location for the passage of sea routes is at least stupid, no matter under whose jurisdiction it will be, the LPR or the Russian Federation)

[Volkof]

The commander of the Airborne Forces, as I understand it, it was after Bucha that they changed everything.

Until Mu-Mu is changed in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia, nothing will happen. The Russian Armed Forces do not know how to wage a modern war, they fight like in the Second World War! Ships are not armed with long-range air defense systems, Russia does not know how to use AWACS, there are no reconnaissance aircraft and UAVs for issuing target designation in real time.
They don’t know how and don’t study, and they don’t want to change something .. Everything again rests on the valor of the Russian soldier. You have to fight not only against the enemy, but also the stupidity of the "great" military leaders ....

According to the military, the island was left as a gesture of goodwill for the organization of humanitarian corridors and the export of grain from Odessa. Now Kyiv must clear the coast, as Zelensky promised...

There will be no humanitarian corridors, grain will not be taken out of Odessa, and the water area will not be cleared either. And what will happen, we will know in the near future.

There will be harpoons and NATO air defense systems .. And then they will start shooting at Sevastopol from it ..

What's the point of running away from Sevastopol? What, the British are landing? Fascists are coming? The command suddenly decided to inspect the submarines? Not? Well, don’t worry then .. They won’t bring a bomb there, but they’ll rent the island for 50 years to some Romania, and not a single one of our bombs will fall there again, and a stationary NATO radar post and anti-ship missiles will appear in a couple of months or even faster ..

sit on this piece of land, also rocky, under constant fire with everything you can. In principle, it is impossible to shoot down all the shells, especially since 155 caliber shells are not even economically profitable. I don’t understand why they went there at all, they would have launched more Reich soldiers there, but gasped at them. There are missiles that can split this island into several beaches (I don’t mean nuclear weapons)

[Torin]

Well, with the shell, there are clearly no questions, the BC is not infinite and it takes time to recharge. And here you can proof on: "... ending with the newest rescue tug Vasily Bekh. When the garrison was removed, they also write that the remaining equipment was destroyed." And then believe in the word well, such a thing.

Several battalions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were laid down there, over 17 acres of unnecessary stone terrain.

An interesting rumor leaked:

Regarding the statements that Zmeiny was exchanged for transit to Kaliningrad as part of the "grain negotiations" and the deal allegedly looks like this - the Russian Federation withdraws troops from Zmeiny, Ukraine clears ports and starts exporting grain to Turkey (from a certain stage under the control of Russian ships? Russia demanded inspection of ships , Ukraine refused), and the EU unblocks Kaliningrad (allegedly from Monday), then we will be able to see at the beginning of next week how much this is true.

Wait and see.

Ukrainian ears stick out of this rumor! With Kaliningrad, it smells of gas. It’s already rushing. But with Svalbard, maybe we don’t have elements of influence against the Norgs. Barents Sea, and we also want to toughen it up. No matter how hard they go too far.

They kick us, beat us, shoot us, impose sanctions, bark from all sides, chase diplomats and, as they say, already, as they say, they consider .And we show "good will". What will be the next "good will"? Fraternization with Zelensky and "brothers" in the trenches? Even Bucha did not teach anything. Eh, (then one continuous mat).

[Alexey RA]

Quote from Valio

After Ukraine received HIMARS, modern long-range GPS-guided artillery and anti-ship missiles, the island was doomed.

Yes, everything was clear there even before HIMARS - the same "Tornados" from the Kuban Island calmly reached the Snake Island.

Quote from Valio

. One thing is a pity that the command understood this too late, after a senseless huge number of our guys died. Unfortunately, our generals cannot get rid of the principle "women still give birth"

What are you talking about a huge amount of...
I am from the 810 brigade, our guys were there in every race ... there were no big losses ...
Ukro.f.a.sh.i.s.t.y lost a lot more there.
The final race returned without loss.

[abc_alex]

Quote from Valio

Unfortunately, our generals cannot get rid of the principle "women still give birth"

Do you mean Ukrainian generals? I think that in the near future we will really see an example of actions on their part in such a logic.
But, apparently, you don’t know, and it will be new for you, but neither Stalin, nor Zhukov, nor Peter the Great ever said anything like that, in any case, there is no such documented fact anywhere. This is a stinking Western-liberal false tale that our liberal "intelligentsia" has been chewing on for a quarter of a century.

Well, so that it’s not so sweet for you to savor, I hasten to remind you that the Iskander missile system can reach ANY point on the coast from Odessa to Constanta almost from Feodosia. And if it occurs to someone from ukrov to bring equipment and troops to Serpentine, their fate is unenviable. However, in the best traditions of the primordially Western thesis "women are still giving birth" no one will be interested in this, Zelensky has already distributed heroism there posthumously once, and will distribute it again.

[Sebastian Aristarkhovich Pereira]

Specify, with a link to sources, the figure of the "meaningless huge number" of our guys who died on this island ... well, so that no one here by mistake accidentally thinks that you are a balabol, and not a serious person and know the "materiel" well. We wait...

How many divisions died there?

Soberly assessed their ability to hold the island and reputational losses during the withdrawal of the garrison. The conclusion was correct.

Yes, our fleet in the Black Sea is so-so, to put it mildly, since air defense is unable to repel attacks from the air.
But the article at the end says that control of the island is a strategically important task.

Yes, our fleet in the Black Sea is so-so, to put it mildly, since air defense is unable to repel attacks from the air.

Near the coast, any fleet turns into a target, which even a blind shooter will eventually hit. At least the task of this fleet is to set a normal one in terms of interaction with the infantry, and not just hang out in the sea within the reach of anti-ship missiles and front-line aviation, protecting themselves.

Heroism, yes, is definitely present!
But what a mess. Civil sailors were attracted, there are no social guarantees. Go and die do not understand why? Shame on these leaders.
Load air defense systems onto boats, the admiral behind the crane levers, what is that? Land air defense systems are tied to ships, because according to the state there are none on patrol ships. What a mess! Where landing want to ask. Or rather, where are the executions, God forgive me.

But what a mess. Civil sailors were attracted, there are no social guarantees.

Not civilian sailors, but the civilian crew of a Navy auxiliary vessel.
Because the mentioned marine self-propelled floating crane SPK-54150 has been part of the Black Sea Fleet since the end of 2019 and carries a blue flag with an St. Andrew's cross on a white field in the upper left quarter.

The self-propelled floating crane SPK-54150 was laid down in St. Petersburg at JSC Shipbuilding Company Almaz (serial number 910). he arrived on 31.08.2018/2019/11.11.2019. The fleet entered service on 28.11.2019/XNUMX/XNUMX.

But the question of guarantees is yes, a good question. It is forbidden to send conscripts to the NWO zone, but the civilian personnel of the Navy, znachitstsa, can be without any guarantees?

Our island was left as unnecessary. Yes, and it was problematic to sit under fire, shoot down Hurricanes shells is expensive, which is a joy for Ukraine. And let them fly - there is no one to fight back. The island will not even occupy the APU - there is little joy in sitting in a trap. Maybe they’ll put up their pennant by helicopter in order to fix it, so it’s only a disgrace to yourself.

If you perceive the correspondent of the newspaper as he writes, then that's how it turns out!.. Some kind of nonsense, a kindergarten. Petya was offended and left himself, because Vasya teased and called names ..
A retreat with a total advantage is the same maneuver as an offensive. And it should be voiced accordingly. The article should have had a completely different text. What do we care what the U.K.R.s say? We must speak our mind!

Everything is more complicated here, however.

And here we are fighting, often with each other, taking one side or another due to the peculiarities of our awareness. Accept it as a fact, or even as a hypothesis, and it will enrich your analysis toolkit.

Well, let's face it, so far this is not a surrender. Troops are being evacuated from there for the second time.

The capture of Odessa has nothing to do with the snake ....

[Osipov9391]

This is impossible without at least partial mobilization.
Arithmetically it won't add up.
Russia operates with a very limited peacetime force.
Which in terms of the Ground Forces and the Marine Corps were already tiny for such a country.
And our losses, both human and material, are not compensated by anything.
But in Ukraine, no matter what they say, there are less and less problems with this - wave after wave of mobilization, establishing supplies of everything from the West.
This suggests that somehow Ukraine will be able to carry out the rotation of forces.
And Russia is not with such a number.

[sgrabik]

This is bullshit, the Black Sea and without the Snake Island is shot up and down, this island does not matter too much here, if necessary, we will sink any ship anywhere in the Black Sea.

[Osipov9391]

So this sea route has existed to this day through Romania, where all arrived ships and transports are reliably covered by their air defense and aviation.
And further along the land (by trucks and by rail) to the Odessa region.

Serpent's Island is not the key to Odessa

[Pavel73]

What other "key" to what Odessa?! Putin made it clear from the very beginning that our plans DO NOT include the occupation of Ukraine. And then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially announced that we are NOT GOING TO overthrow the official government in Ukraine. And it was repeatedly repeated that the task of the NWO is to protect Russia, Donbass, as well as the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine. But there is no occupation of Ukraine, and it was not planned initially. The occupation of Serpentine, Gostomel, Chernobyl and other places was the solution of TACTICAL tasks. Which can change as the situation develops, the attitudes of the local population, and the world situation. Distracting maneuvers for example. Or a deliberate occupation of generally unnecessary territories in order to then take a demonstrative step back. There may be many different options. What is happening is not a war in the old classical sense of the word: to occupy the entire territory, and place your flags and your power everywhere. The intentions are completely different. If that's how it's done, then that's how it should be.

[Pavel73]

And who exactly?

[ABC-schutze]

And who said that the planned task of demilitarization and denazification of the Kyiv regime, set by the President, is somehow connected with some kind of "occupation"? ..

The expulsion and disarmament of the Kyiv Nazis, during the SVO. This time...

The establishment of a political regime loyal to Russia in the territories liberated from the power of the Kyiv Nazis. These are two...

And whether the new authorities will have the intention to join Russia, or become sovereign, loyal partners of Moscow, who turned to her for guarantees of military security, this will be their decision. So, no "occupations" ...

You are mistaken again.
The landing on Gostomel, as an idea to capture a bridgehead near Kyiv, was good.
With the subsequent landing and unloading of troops, from the transport boards of the VKS.
Another thing is that it had to be done synchronously with the beginning of the SVO.
And further advancement to Kyiv from Belarus, an armored fist with motorized infantry.

[voyaka uh]

"The landing on Gostomel, as an idea to seize a bridgehead near Kyiv, was good.

The plan was too obvious, too transparent for the enemy. APU prepared for it. They shot artillery at the airfield. Prepared their special forces.
Therefore, the operation failed.
Airborne landings were cancelled.

Quote: voyaka uh

The plan was too obvious, too transparent for the enemy. APU prepared for it.

Looking from the height of today, your statement is accepted.
In the context of the events of 24'02'2022, no!
Let me explain: If yes, if only, the landing would have been landed SYNCHRONOUSLY with the start of the "NOR" and at the same time the advancement of the armored fist from Belarus, then it could, and most likely succeeded, create a strong foothold over Kyiv with far-reaching plans. In reality, the landing was thrown out in the AFTERNOON.
The leadership of the “95 quarter” ALREADY came to its senses after the SHOCK of the beginning of the day.
Moreover, almost with the beginning of the SVO, the media literally burst into tears about the movement of the Belarusian group of the Russian Federation.
From this, the “obviousness” of your comment came to light.

The third attempt to cleanse the world of dogma...

The ruling class in political science and sociology is a social class that has concentrated under its control the functions of management in various spheres of society and, as a result, receives maximum benefits in the structure of society created by it.

In the USSR, the working class was formally the ruling class, wasn't it? The Communist Party was the vanguard of the working class, right?
And if so, then .... did ordinary workers (representatives of the ruling class) participate in the management of their state? Did ordinary communist workers participate in the election of members of the Politburo? profile ministers? Directors of factories and factories? Were factories and factories joint-stock enterprises in which the workers of these enterprises were shareholders? I have been consciously observing Soviet life from the very bottom since 1982, I can answer these questions that, no .... ordinary workers did not have such powers! Those. in the USSR, a party-state conglomerate was created that governs the country alone, without the participation of ordinary Soviet citizens, and this is nothing more than state capitalism, in which the role of the owner of capital was played by the party-state apparatus!
Even old man Engels warned ....

communists, forced to come to power as a result of the helplessness and lethargy of all the other opposition parties, when the material and organizational conditions for the implementation of socialism have not yet matured, will be forced to practically realize not their program and not their own interests, but general revolutionary and petty-bourgeois interests - the interests of a class alien to them, getting off from his own class with phrases, promises and assurances that the interests of the other class are his own.

Rather, at this stage, it is not relevant in terms of tasks.

It is just necessary that the regime does not lie to the people, but explains on the fingers that at this stage its retention is not advisable. They either take the people for idiots or they are idiots themselves.

[alexey sidykin]

Are you talking about idiots about yourself? Considering that the Government of the Russian Federation is a "regime" for you, then all your pity here is a filkin's letter ...

[sgrabik]

I agree that we urgently need to end the "gestures of goodwill", this Western menagerie is simply not ready and not able to objectively understand and appreciate these gestures of ours, which means there is no point in them.

[Osipov9391]

So these deliveries have not really begun yet - everything is being accumulated in Slovakia, Poland, Romania and NATO bases in Europe.
Until that is called "try" gave.
And then, as soon as all this is trampled, our affairs will become bad - how would Kherson and Melitopol be kept.

[bayard]

Quote: Mikhail Sidorov

Supplies of anti-ship missiles (and not only) from the west make the retention and defense of the island unpromising.

This suggests that the RF Armed Forces have no immediate plans to capture Odessa and the region, and keeping the garrison under constant attacks by MLRS and artillery is really futile.
Another thing is that for Sumeria, the capture of the island has no prospects other than a propaganda effect - its garrisons will be regularly demolished by air strikes, and they do not have effective air defense systems for the island. So now we will switch places and it is they who will suffer stable losses on Serpentine without the opportunity to gain a foothold.
The only thing that is a pity is that the ability to carry a radar patrol on the island is being lost, and it is almost impossible to keep ships there due to the threat of coastal anti-ship missiles.

The pace of the special operation is a constant surprise and casts doubt on the ultimate goal of all this.

And if now, during the NATO summit, Ukraine shows "good will" and "returns" the island to Romania... And the NATO garrison will land there... Are you sure that we will bomb it?

[aglet]

"And there the NATO garrison will land"
Well, let him land, what could he threaten there? the island is tiny, you cannot place serious weapons there, any hit by any weapon capable of reaching the island will lead to fatal losses for the garrison - there is nowhere to hide there

[bayard]

Interesting twist.
But just then, nothing prevents re-occupying the island and claiming legal rights to it. In b\Ukraine, the borders are not demarcated - it DOES NOT have legal territories AT ALL according to international law.
In general, it's time to simply declare the Bialowieza conspiracy of three criminals invalid and unenforceable. Moreover, there is not a single copy of that "agreement" in any of the 3 "states".
But there is no document, there is no "agreement".
And what kind of "Yeltsincenter" can we talk about on the territory of the Soviet Union?
What is the legitimacy of power in Kyiv?
Other union republics?
Conduct consultations with the management of these, work out legal issues, start the negotiation process. In the end, the Russian Federation is not only the legal successor of the USSR, but also the Republic of Ingushetia.

Quote from U_GOREC

Are you sure that we will bomb him?

It all depends on the plans of the military command and the Supreme Command both for this island and for the entire company as a whole.
RF does not pull the war?
She is pulled ... it is the Kremlin that is PULLING. Like a cat for the genitals.
Why
They don't talk about it, and apparently they won't.
And they will bomb it like any worthy target on the territory of Ukraine.

[Osipov9391]

No Ukrainians (if they appear on the island) will be demolished by aircraft.
Firstly, several Crimean Su-300SMs were sent from the Odessa region S-30 to the bottom of the Black Sea.
Secondly, NATO fighters, with the support of AWACS, fly around the island at home.
So the Ukrainian group has nothing to fear if they gain a foothold there. Although it makes no sense.

Why wouldn't this happen?

Quote: Osipov9391

Firstly, several Crimean Su-300SMs were sent from the Odessa region S-30 to the bottom of the Black Sea.

I have no confidence in the reliability of this, but for a strike it is not at all necessary to rise above the radio horizon for the Odessa air defense systems. But they will probably continue to deal with the air defense systems themselves.

Quote: Osipov9391

Secondly, NATO fighters, with the support of AWACS, fly around the island at home.

They always fly there and this did not interfere and does not prevent us from striking targets in / on. Do you think NATO will go to war?

Quote: Osipov9391

if they stick there.

If they become fixed , they will regularly reset to zero . And there is no practical sense for them to dispose of l \ s there.
It is also irrational for Russia to keep a garrison there. Interest was only about radar control in that area, so as not to keep the ships under attack. Now that doesn't make sense either.

[Osipov9391]

Aviation practically does not fly to those parts over the Black Sea. Shoot down.
It’s not for me to explain to you that AWACS detects planes taking off from Crimea in advance and merges them into the headquarters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
And they are already preparing to "meet". And until then, nothing will change.
Ships practically do not go to those parts. Dangerous - you can get anti-ship missiles on board.
So the island and its adjacent water areas are completely controlled by Ukraine.

[bayard]

Quote: Osipov9391

So the island and its adjacent water areas are completely controlled by Ukraine.

What is the use for them in this, except for the media?
But the fact that an exchange took place - the unblocking of the ports of Odessa for the unblocking of the Kaliningrad region and our settlements on Spitz-Bergen, is quite likely.
.. Moreover, Konashenkov, such nonsense about unblocking ports for the sake of exporting grain, sporol ... What does the military care about the problems of world hunger?
Only if they were told that this was an exchange for the sake of the starving France, Germany and other Luxembourg ... And he, not being smart ... flashed with what was not.

Quote: Osipov9391

Aviation practically does not fly to those parts over the Black Sea. Shoot down.

If done wisely, they will not be shot down from the shore. It’s not like throwing iron from them from a flight.
But if there is an agreement (and everything happened almost on the same day), then they will probably leave the island alone until they take it out.
Here, by the way, is a message from N. Gamenyuk that "it's too early for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to restore the garrison on the island."
And if the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are not going to Odessa yet, then why risk the garrison there.

[Osipov9391]

The benefit to Ukraine may be that missiles from the territory of the Odessa region can easily reach the Crimea.
And ships in the area. Even civilian. The same "Harpoon" will fly up to 280 km.

[bayard]

On the island, that "Harpoon" has nowhere to hide, just appear - they will demolish (we will demolish) with the top layer of rocky soil. And they can try to get to the Crimea from the coast, at least there is where to hide it.
But the flag will probably be dragged there.
And they will shoot a "heroic" video.

[Osipov9391]

So I’m talking about this and say that in the absence of air defense on Serpentine, missiles from the territory of the Odessa region will fly to the coast of Crimea.
280 km it allows. Perhaps civilian ships will be attacked.

[bayard]

Old-type missiles were delivered to \ on - 120 km. But if there are 280 km. , then the air defense on the island did not interfere with them - having a range of 20 km. , with a distance to the coast of 35 km. If you do not make a candle at the start too high, then the radar station from the island may not be seen.

Quote: Osipov9391

Perhaps civilian ships will be attacked.

Well, let him try - those same grain carriers.
who will expose civilian ships under attack? All routes now bypass them in circles - you can expect anyone from violently crazy people.

[Negruz]

So I’m talking about this and say that in the absence of air defense on Serpentine, missiles from the territory of the Odessa region will fly to the coast of Crimea.
280 km it allows. Perhaps civilian ships will be attacked.

There was no our air defense on the serpentine one, no Ukrainian missiles flew to the Crimea ....
Enough already?

[Osipov9391]

Haven't flown to Crimea yet. But it flew more than once on drilling platforms.
They just have limited range.
There will be serious missiles - they will fly.
And on Snake without air defense (such as "Torah"), ours could not be located at all.
It was us. And more than once it was destroyed by the Ukrainians.

[Negruz]

The platforms were attacked by aircraft, by the way, during temporary the presence of short-range snake air defense ...
You are talking about "missiles from the territory of the Odessa region" ...
Stop breeding...

[Osipov9391]

And what kind of aircraft were they attacked by?
What kind of Novoshakhtinsky oil refinery was attacked or what kind of "Vasliy Bekh" was hit?

[Negruz]

The platforms were attacked by aircraft...
Is there anything else you would like to report?

[Osipov9391]

So what kind of aircraft were they attacked by?
Whose, what types of aircraft, what means of destruction?
After all, aviation in our case is a loose concept.
They fly in the sky from Ukrainian Bayraktars to American F-35s.

[Negruz]

Su-25 or something else ...
If you have something to say on the topic - feel free to say, do not be shy ...

[U_GOREC]

Quote: Osipov9391

Secondly, NATO fighters, with the support of AWACS, fly around the island at home.

And what do they fly there? Are you saying that NATO fighters will shoot down our planes?

[Osipov9391]

This is how AWACS sees the sky and the sea hundreds of kilometers around. The data is leaked to the Ukrainian headquarters.
And NATO fighters could easily strike at the island from the territory of Romania or Ukraine.
Without consequences and threats for themselves.

[U_GOREC]

Data they so and so merged and will merge. But what would NATO fighters strike at Russian troops. Are you serious?

[Osipov9391]

If a Harpoon missile, launched from a NATO fighter over Romanian territory, at a range of 280 km, passes into the airspace of the Odessa region and leaves it hitting the Serpentine or some Russian ship, then who will figure it out there?
Nobody! The Ukrainians launched and that's it. And there is no evidence, no facts.
We don't even know where a couple of rockets came from via "Moscow".

[U_GOREC]

Quote: Osipov9391

[saigon]

Excuse me, but from which side is this island the key to Odessa?
You can’t even stick a regiment there, but what the hell was the fuss about?
It was not the deliveries of anti-ship missiles and not long-range systems that were to blame for leaving the island, there was no great sense in keeping it and it was not worth it to climb there.

[bayard]

The point was the need to place on-duty radar stations there for radar control of the airspace over the water area and the western part of the Odessa region. Before, radar control was carried out by the cruiser "Moskva" (it had no other target), then they decided to deploy a radar station on Zmein (at least you can’t sink it, and it’s possible to deploy air defense systems for cover. But apart from missiles and MLRS, artillery shells also flew ... and anti-ship missiles they have the ability to aim at a radiation source (radar) in a passive mode ... Therefore, they removed the garrison from the island - for the sake of one radar control, it is irrational to bear such losses.

[BastaKarapuzik And]

Ukraine's prospects for keeping the island are illusory.
As soon as some kind of weapon systems are drawn there, they will arrive.

[aglet]

"It's a shame to give the key to Odessa."
what the hell is the key? it’s 70 km to odessa, you can’t place more than a platoon of soldiers on the island, they won’t fit, it wasn’t worth taking, the dill guards were sitting there and let them sit there further. There is no sense in the snake, and there was no

[meandr51]

This is no key. This hill of land has only political significance for ukrov. Well, let them enjoy their flag there.
And Odessa, in fact, is located on the mainland. If necessary, they will take dry land. Not yet. The operation must take a long time. If Ukraine is taken too quickly, then the Americans will create another hot spot - Transnistria, the Baltic states or the Kuriles. We must create the illusion that Russia is losing the war.

[ABC-schutze]

And what about "there" with the aforementioned Gostomel?.. Especially, - in the "last" days?..

By the way, what is there, with the "logical" chain linking Russia's political decision to leave Serpent's Island, with the hypothetical (let's keep silent about the real one...) "possibility" of the Kyiv public appearing on it?..

[meandr51]

Let them at least set up a rest home there. We are not sorry. The island has no military significance.

Until you detect, while you shoot back and until your shells fly to her for the same 40 seconds. As a result, you will shoot back at the place where she has been gone for 3-5 minutes.

Where the resistance is strong, go around and exhaust, and where it is weak, press there. If long-range guns from the mainland reach the island, what's the point of keeping people there, since there is nothing to cover. It is necessary to react quickly to a change in tactics and look for other options.

they will shoot down, the ships do not go - they will sink. Artillery near Odessa cannot be suppressed. And this is a war with the country, and if only with Nata. It is terrible to imagine seeing now this helplessness of our leadership. One Wagner is pressing something. Hooray!

We will be humanitarian to Vladivostok. Again, as separate consolidated battalion groups, separate planes are fighting in the Chechen. Some separate ships without the cover of heterogeneous forces. As I understand it, the concept of KUG has already been forgotten by commanders? They are not even able to implement the cover of the platforms. We are engaged in responding to enemy strikes. As I understand it, at one time they planned to carry out a landing on the coast with some landing ships? No cover? How is it in Berdyansk?

So the Black Sea Fleet has no forces at the KUG. The entire real strength of the fleet is three FR pr. 11356 and 6 submarines pr. 636.3.
And that's it. TFR pr.1135 and 1135M were outdated back in the days of the USSR. MRK and RKA, due to their lack of air defense, themselves need cover. Patrolmen ... there are no censorship words here.
The only strength of the fleet is aviation. But admirals traditionally do not like it and do not know how to use it. Although the Black Sea Fleet even has a pair of Ka-31s.

As for the INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCES of all sorts of hypothetical "appearances of NATO" on the territory of the former united Ukraine, the president, who is also the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, ALREADY EVERYTHING CLEAR and OFFICIALLY announced already ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE NOR.

Do you have any doubts that for "any" NATO members, in this case, these consequences will be fatal? ...

What kind of "NATO - Romania" is there? .. Yes, even Kyiv, even Kyiv clowns, will be "gifted" to Uncle Sam "himself" ...

If there is military expediency, then the island will be destroyed in the same way as the American base in Ochakovo and American instructors at the Yavorsky training ground. Why is the island better? There is so much talk about him that it is already disgusting to listen to this nonsense. It has no military significance. Only economic. But that's later...

In short, a classic situation - it never happened, and now it has begun again! That's right, they drowned Moscow, then a tugboat, how many boys were killed, and the result is a gesture of goodwill! So, damn it, we’ll get to the new Khasavyurt! Disgrace!
PS The government draw conclusions, because this pandemic leaked the entire Crimean consensus in society, are you following the same path again? Again, the party of vkhozhdentsy and agreers took the upper hand in the undercover Kremlin fuss?

Yesterday there was an article about how the general accomplished a feat by bringing an air defense system to this island, and today please take it. Will we withdraw troops tomorrow and return to the borders on February 24? And what, so too, you can also demonstrate goodwill. Why are our people dying? for gestures of goodwill?

Remember, the president is chosen to govern the country in intelligible aspects. And now tell us how the sly island will help denazification and demilitarization? Or have our tasks changed? NATO has made a decision and calls Russia an enemy, the EU has introduced six suitcases of sanctions, and we, in order not to upset our partners and express our good will, put the hell on the victims of l / s when taking and holding, we are freeing the bridgehead ...

Although, now nothing will prevent Russia from periodically mixing the garrison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on this island with the ground.

There are only assumptions about the presence of karst caves on Serpentine, but no one has seen them.

From the point of view of karst studies and speleology, there can be no natural karst cavities on Zmeiny Island. For their formation, karst rocks (limestones, gypsum) and a significant amount of water flowing through the rock (either groundwater or glacial), as well as a height difference for the formation of water flows, are needed. There is nothing like it on this flat piece of land. Therefore, the caves there can only be artificial with a depth of no more than the height of the island above sea level.

[donavi49]

Military equipment was burned before leaving. Just the other day there was a note about how heroically air defense was brought up:

In early May, the enemy hit and destroyed our Tor-M air defense system and, having air superiority, attempted an assault by landing. The personnel of the Black Sea Fleet repelled all attacks.

The landing craft DK-701 was sent to the island to deliver the Tor-M2 air defense system. However, on approach, the landing craft was destroyed by the enemy.

The commander of the fleet set the task of forming a detachment of ships to deliver air defense systems to the island by landing craft. For this, loading on the high seas onto landing craft was planned using a self-propelled floating crane "SPK-54150" of the "Shell" air defense missile system. However, most of the civilian crew of the ship refused to go to sea due to the lack of social guarantees, there was not a single crane operator.

Deputy Fleet Commander according to MTO, Major General Mikhail Yasnikov personally arrived at the residence of one of the crane operators and convinced him of the vital need to complete this task. First by helicopter and then by boat, they arrived together on a floating crane.

However, due to the large mass of the zrpk, the landing craft rolled. Major General Yasnikov decided to secure the sides of the boat with crane slings. The threat of capsizing has been removed.

To deliver the "Pantsir", other military equipment and material means of technical support to Zmeiny, there was only one option left - go on the crane. 9 out of 12 civilian crew members refused due to lack of social guarantees, including the only crane operator. Major General Yasnikov was trained to work on a crane installation within an hourtook full responsibility for it.

On the way to Snake Island the ship was covered with the use of anti-aircraft missile systems deployed on support vessels, with a real missile impact, such a system was used for the first time.

During the unloading, the enemy attacked the island with Tochka-U, fortunately the missile hit a section of the island far from the unloading point and no one was hurt. After 20 minutes, the anti-aircraft missile-gun complex was unloaded onto the pier personally by Major General Yasnikov.

Further, a landing craft with the Tor-M2 air defense system moored to the port side of the crane, which covered the approach of the floating crane. Major General Yasnikov proceeded to unload the Tor-M2 air defense system ashore.

The determination and courage of Mikhail Yasnikov to take full responsibility, to lead people behind him, the courage and heroism of all the crew members and the boatswain's crew made it possible to save all the servicemen who guard the Zmeiny Island. We need control over this island, it is a strategically important object, so let's thank our heroes from the bottom of our hearts.


If anything, the events of this transfer the beginning of June. Judging by the pictures, Maksar destroyed 2 Thors and 3-4 Shells before leaving. Iron-iron, but these are tangible losses.


It is not necessary for Khokhls to occupy it by the way, but they will land for reporting and photo-video for sure.

[navigator777]

And the whole problem is that we have a toothless and weak fleet without normal air defense

[DenVB]

Quote: donavi49

However, most of the civilian crew of the vessel refused to go to sea due to the lack of social guarantees, there was not a single crane operator.

Quite rightly, they refused. The habit of the Ministry of Defense to throw people in case of death or injury has long been known. "Which participants? What kind of hostilities? Get the hell out of here, you're not entitled to any payments."

Well, yes, this case shows a clear lack of normal landing craft in the fleet and crews trained in this, I hope they will finally draw the proper conclusions, build the necessary ships, and train the crews. It would not hurt to draw organizational conclusions regarding those persons who should have thought about this before and provided the fleet with the necessary ships and vessels.

It was thanks to this island that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were forced to concentrate sufficiently long-range artillery and aviation positions that can be opened and destroyed, and now all this will go straight to the east.

[Andrey VOV]

To damage everything that is on the island, one NIMARS installation or whatever it is is enough. And literally several 777 guns or these French ones.

[Grits]

Quote: TerraSandera

Well, now weapons can be delivered by sea

According to your logic, it was our garrison on the island that prevented the delivery of weapons? Interesting what? Did you arrange inspection of the courts? So it seems that any ship is not obliged to sail past the island, it can bypass it. And it’s easier to disembark an inspection team from a patrol ship. From the same useless from a military point of view, a guard without air defense, but with a gun. There were no anti-ship missiles on the island. Yes, and on ships it is much more convenient to have them. Because they are in constant motion, and not indicated by a point with exact coordinates.
In general, being on this island was complete nonsense. He did not perform any useful functions. Well, at least they understood this, though belatedly.

[TerraSandera]

See answer above. He did it, otherwise there was no point in holding on to him, at the cost of life there was no, 4 months. Spend air defense, people, ships. Its price just increased many times after it became impossible to control it from the ships. After the sinking of Moscow, even analysts from the Ministry of Defense opened their eyes, but you still have something to do with the rozheevs there? Without air defense? They stopped sending ANY number of valuable warships there, even with air defense, because the danger of repeating the fate of Moscow was very high. So no inspection boats, alas.
About the conclusion? Now, after so many efforts, costs and lives, leaving him becomes bitter, but alas, justified. Although it was much more logical not to go there at all, or to leave sooner. This is my personal opinion.
As for your rationale. So why are you better than ukrov? When they lose, they also say that "Damn it, Severodonetsk is not important" "Yes, this is nonsense (settlement)" Etc.

But we can, at any time of the day and season, methodically crush the island with the forces of the fleet and aviation, as in a shooting range. I think the locals will soon understand this too. After they put a couple of hundred soldiers there.

[Non-fighter]

Romania is like a NATO country, and not adopted yesterday. Romania already had graters with Ukraine because of the island, so they will find a reason to linger. Everything, picking out Romanians is a probable war with NATO.

Put yourself in the place of any member of NATO. Would you agree to go to war with a nuclear power for the sake of the fact that some kind of crazy gypsies suddenly foolishly saddled some little island that no one needs?

[ada]

Quote: Gritsa

... before, Ukraine could not, because there was no anti-ship missiles and long-range artillery. ...

When it did, didn't it have rocket-artillery systems and tactical missile systems capable of hitting the island in dimensions slightly less than the minimum target dimensions for a large caliber? In total, they had enough for a range of 35 - 40 km or more, and various systems and ammunition for them, missiles, to demolish everything there every week all this time, not even having a full weather report with sighting with an air spotter. And to concentrate, there on the coast, no significant forces were required. Tell me straight - there was no such task, or rather a team, or more precisely, the teams were completely different, pursuing very specific foreign policy goals of the "masters". Of course, our intelligence tracked part of the fire and reconnaissance assets, but you can’t keep track of all the dispersed guns and MLRS installations. Foreign systems only somewhat simplify the task, apparently the teams went from the "owners" to others.

broke off all the fun. There will be no mercy!

[pavlov viahislav]

Well, to hell with it, by and large no one needs a rock that in practice does not control anything and the retention of which is extremely problematic. What is really needed is to stop wagging the fifth point by officially declaring a blockade of Ukrainian ports. The capabilities of the Black Sea Fleet, based on the Crimean bases, will fully provide such a blockade.

[Blade3]

Ukraine is doomed to defeat. Without options, there will be capitulation and acceptance of the conditions of Russia.

There is a struggle not for territory but for minds. I consider this gesture of good will indicative.

[ValeraKrasovski]

No words, just thoughts. Who is it in Russia working for the West?

[ZnahWest]

PR for this island was arranged by the media with retired experts. Only the military knows its floating value. But the question is: what about technology? After all, it was imported with almost heroic labor costs. Or is it no longer there?...

[ada]

They write (came across in various news outlets) that the remaining equipment was blown up, they left on two boats.

[Thorvlobnor IV]

"She drowned" (c)

[donavi49]

Destroyed before being abandoned.

Judging by the VO and satellite images, the withdrawal was carried out on BL-820 boats, it was them that the satellite filmed just yesterday. There was no crane or landing craft. They left lightly.

[IvanSviridov]

The most ironic thing is that in the current conditions, the enemy didn’t even need this technique .....

[Grits]

Quote from ZnahWest

But the question is: what about technology? After all, it was imported with almost heroic labor costs. Or is it no longer there?...

most likely it has already been completely plowed with the ground. Despite our peppy statements about dozens of downed missiles by air defense forces. But the air defense has not yet learned how to shoot down shells from the M-777. As soon as all the equipment was finally lost, they finally understood that there was absolutely no point in dying there.

[potap6509]

Of the printed ones, only punctuation marks, what kind of good will is that.

[DO]

According to the military, the island was left as a gesture of goodwill for the organization of humanitarian corridors and the export of grain from Odessa.

Understood nothing. How did the garrison of the island interfere with the export of grain?

[Woodman]

Quote: DO

How did the garrison of the island interfere with the export of grain?

Control over the island created a threat of landing on Odessa, which was an obstacle to mine clearance of the coastal zone. And the presence of mines posed a threat to navigation, especially considering that most likely the areas of mining by the Armed Forces of Ukraine are known very approximately - we remember stories with mines drifting all over the sea. Now Zelensky has little choice - either to clear the water area, or to look for another pretext for refusing to ship grain by sea. And here there is one more nuance - I told about it in the comment below, if you are interested.

[DO]

A rock in the Black Sea is not an escorted landing ship, and does not pose a direct threat to an invasion of Odessa. Moreover, the military logic of the "gesture of good will" is not visible - with the Zmein complex empty, the functions of radar control can always be performed by the warships of the Russian Federation, which, in the event of a landing, will sail in any way.
And now someone will certainly occupy the empty Serpentine - either the Armed Forces of Ukraine or NATO.

[DO]

PS In fact, the military-political logic in leaving Snake Island is quite obvious - to avoid losses from long-range MLRS of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, while ensuring the emptiness of the island with Caliber - even if it is occupied by NATO.
That is, this is a signal of the readiness of the Russian Federation for a direct confrontation with NATO.

[aglet]

"Control over the island created a threat of landing on Odessa,"
how?

[sen]

Russian troops left Snake Island

The island is too small, there must have been losses, and the West promised new long-range missiles. But this is not so scary, since there will be a ground operation to liberate Nikolaev and Odessa, and we will return the island in addition.

True, there is no merit of the Ukrainian military in this, the Russian garrison left the island voluntarily.

[north 2]

if American MLRS appeared near Odessa capable of reaching Snake Island, and ours cannot yet destroy these systems there, then one can understand the logic that the Russian garrison temporarily left Snake Island. It is possible that this is a trap for Ukraine, to place Western anti-ship missiles or the same American MLRS on Zmeiny. A good target for Russian aviation and for Russian missiles ...
Although, the possible beginnings of a new Khasavyurt ...

Those who are guided by common sense did not interfere in any way, but

Export of grain is going to be carried out under the auspices of the UN. Turkey suggested that Kyiv clear the ports. Ankara's ships will go there. Vessels filled with grain will be escorted first by Ukrainian and then by Russian ships. But Zelensky does not approve of this initiative.

“According to the Ukrainian president, Kyiv cannot export grain because of Russia. Allegedly, mining is aimed at deterring the opposing fleet, ”the expert explained.

Thus, the Ukrainian side and the West are trying to shift the responsibility to our country in the possible world famine provoked by them.

Now the word is up to the Ukrainian side, which still has not cleared mines along the Black Sea coast off its shores, including port waters

Recently there was a rumor about negotiations with the authorities of Odessa about the voluntary surrender of the city to Russian troops

The closed report of the analytical department of the CIA to the US Congress says that the morale of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and elite clan groups in the south and southeast of Ukraine is extremely low. In addition, there is evidence of separate negotiations between influential groups in Odessa and the region with the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Federation on surrender without a fight

Now the prerequisites for demining the coastal zone are being created. Moreover, by the forces of the Ukrainian military. Don’t you think, comrades, that some kind of connection can be discerned between these events (if, of course, the rumors about negotiations are not groundless)?

Darkness..The island for holding which killed 2 large ships and, probably, a lot of people - they just left it, as they write in the news on Yandex, “as a gesture of goodwill.” For what ?! In order for the country with which we are fighting to sell grain to countries that sell it weapons that kill our soldiers?! Fucking good will, damn it! I would not be surprised if those responsible for such decisions during their lifetime begin to stream myrrh or heal gonorrhea by laying on of hands, so all this is imbued with the biblical spirit, the harp is vigorous!

[IvanSviridov]

Well, you can’t take it that literally.

[EvilLion]

And what, the actions of the fleet were only because of this useless island? If the grain is to be exported, then let it be exported, especially if this is an agreement with someone more serious than Kievisho, the more they starve later, the easier it will be for us.

And who died there? The boat was sunk, and it seemed like the air defense system was destroyed. Well, maybe someone was caught during shelling. There is no one there to bear significant losses.

[v1tz]

The fact that the island is difficult to hold, given the complexity of its supply and constant shelling by artillery, is a fact, but damn, this is most unpleasant news. But the Ukrainians will not be able to gain a foothold there, that’s also a fact. And our newest fleet is adapted for the calibers and other cruise missiles; with air defense, the situation seems to be sad.

But we’ll see about the Krainians on the island. We don’t have long-range artillery to reach the island. The fleet is weak, only strong in the number of admirals. They will disembark and sit. Our Ministry of Defense will say - let them sit, there is no need to waste calibers on them. So it will be.

[EvilLion]

Well, a bomber will fly in, drop bombs, fly back to Crimea so that the pilots can drink tea and fly off again. At the same time, the island of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not needed at all. Everything that in theory can be placed there is placed on the shore, no worse, but even better.

But everything is going according to plan

[EvilLion]

Do you even understand that if our people had demolished the regime in Ukraine in a few days, then legends would have been made about such an operation centuries later? They don't count on that. At the same time, the physical speed of advance there before the Ukrainian Armed Forces gathered its forces was actually the maximum for motorized infantry, i.e., even at the rates of February and early March, there would have been God knows how much sawing on the roads.

After the Crimean scenario, the West is already at odds.

[WolfW]

Now all over Ukraine they will be discussing this for another year, calling it a victory

[magdama]

Did you add ours after all? It was a good idea to keep him busy then! With the current weapons and intelligence, it is not strategic, it is not the 19th century in the yard. One rocket and the island will be uninhabited again.

[donavi49]

Only if it's nuclear. Points regularly flew there, I posted a note above about the heroic delivery of air defense by the Deputy Fleet Commander himself in the role of a crane operator. One rocket or even a full salvo from Buyan at 8 will not do anything major.

On the other hand, the Ukrainian Armed Forces organize an outpost from the island. It is tempting to install radar + harpoons and squeeze the Black Sea Fleet towards the Crimea. However, the island is too small and bare, so everything imported larger than Man is easily detected and places are amazed. Taking into account the impossibility of providing air defense, the main problem in the event of an occupation will not be the Calibers and other Iskanders, but the Su-24/34 with 500 kg of cast iron, which will be thrown from 5-7 km to the island, like to the training ground.

[DenSQR]

What's stopping you from dragging a couple of Buks onto the island? We can’t reach him with barreled artillery, but with rockets we can get in trouble. Moreover, by installing Harpoons there, they will easily arrange another Moscow for us.

[donavi49]

1) The presence of these Beeches. There are few of them and they are spread out to cover strategic targets and the army.
2) Means of delivery. You can’t get it on Island or any PSKR. The only SDK will be tracked and knocked out.
3) Massaging and echeloning. Even Russia, as we see, is not capable of a full-fledged fortress with trains and radar, and without this it is very vulnerable. Well, that is, cruise missiles are just less of a problem, especially if light infantry forces land. You can dig in and spread out. However, if you already install radar, Buki, Garupnov launchers = this will already be tracked from a satellite / other reconnaissance means and they will start hammering on conditions close to the testing grounds. The maneuver is minimal, so sooner or later, everything brought in will be knocked out, and early. Especially if they can ensure the use of cast iron 250-500 kg in area from a great height.

[value]

American AWACS can provide radar to Ukrainian troops. Layered air defense can be provided from the Mainland C300 Norwegian nasam from the island. Layered anti-ship defense is provided by harpoons from the shore and from the island. Located on Zmeinoy, Harpoon reaches Sevastopol Bay, which is quite sad.

[EvilLion]

The “harpoons” are perfectly located on the shore there; the island did not and does not have any significance. It is possible that there was a banal belated reaction of our command, when it was necessary to get out of there a long time ago, but for some reason there was no order, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine willingly responded to it, keeping the forces that were more needed in the Donbass and destroying the UAVs that were useless against a point target.

[aglet]

“Only if it’s nuclear. Points regularly flew there, I posted a note above about the heroic delivery of air defense by the Deputy Fleet Commander himself in the role of a crane operator. One missile or even a full salvo from Buyan at 8 will not do anything major.”

There are these Nazis of higher rank there, for the courts there are already, and there will be more. But you don’t care about our objective interests, you need to scream.

[alex_mosc]

It looks like one of the consequences of a strategic miscalculation, although we have the skills to explain everything... For example, that in the first month large cities were “closed” and the removal of nuclear waste or rods from nuclear power plants was carried out. So then they retreated from Chernobyl. But the legend of necessity has been thrown in.

I would like to believe that this mess with the island will at least bring some political benefits. At the UN, with Turkey or even with China. But who in the UN needs our politicians now? And what will this give for Russia’s victory? This is not at all clear. The game is rotten in plain sight.

[EvilLion]

You have some crazy questions, upside down. What in general were our troops doing on the island that it made sense to divert, among other things, aviation to protect them?

[DenSQR]

You forgot to add the obligatory: As part of a Goodwill Gesture!

[Andrey VOV]

Have you ever held a machine gun in your hands, except when taking the oath? Can you turn your head on by looking at the map? Yes, the wording is idiotic, apparently information wars are not ours, but we need to learn this too. And what they wrote is bullshit.

[storm]

Just as in Chechnya the Russian army was betrayed by the Kremlin rulers by signing the treacherous Khosavyurt “peace” agreements, the same thing seems to be starting in Ukraine.....

[Vladimir M]

Damn, but when a miracle is a gesture of goodwill, it becomes kind of sad. As V.V. Putin says, “there is such a blizzard...”. Maybe it’s time to drive away such miracles with “scrap rags”???

[DenSQR]

Yeah, the old story is that a good king makes bad boyars, and who is the employer of this miracle that brings the blizzard? And if a miracle brings a blizzard, then the employer is probably happy with it.

[SerAp]

Strelkov only said a couple of days ago that this could happen, and here they are...

[ShM05]

Strelkov’s forecasts actually came true by 90%, and according to his further forecasts nothing good should be expected, so they drown him everywhere calling him a whiner, it turns out that telling the truth is whining, and throwing hats is... I don’t even know what to call it.

[Osipov9391]

I’m certainly not a fan of Strelkov, but I respect him for his strong position and habit of speaking to his face.
I also respect you for not merging with this rotten system for the sake of a warm place and money.
Although he could be like Boroday.
But didn’t.

[storm]

It’s just that Strelkov is “in the know” before others

[ShM05]

Defeat and retreat are called differently, a gesture of good will, from the same opera, a bang, not an explosion, not a crash, but a hard landing, etc. With such gestures we will soon leave Crimea. This is all an agreement, not a war, I just feel sorry for the guys who died for 4 months holding this island, the cruiser Moscow, a tugboat, they paid too much for this island. Just yesterday the guards claimed that the island is of strategic importance, but now it is a useless piece of land, under With such news, all paid bots can be easily identified.

[Negruz]

Of course, it would be ideal for the snake to have some kind of automatic air defense system with an “eternal” ammo system and no personnel, in order to “attract” the attention of the most advanced weapons and military equipment supplied to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and, identifying it, destroy it...
But if we talk about losses, then our garrison there are suicide bombers...
The only sad thing is that now these highmars and howitzers will be transferred to other sectors of the front and there it will be much more difficult to identify them: nevertheless, the trajectories of defeating the snake from the mainland are so “unambiguous” that the circle of searches is noticeably narrowing....

[aglet]

“Nevertheless, the trajectories of the defeat of the snake from the mainland are so “unambiguous” that the circle of searches is noticeably narrowing....
and how much of what was destroyed along unambiguous trajectories?

[Negruz]

There were reports of the defeat of the Caesars and 777 in the Kuban...

[Ivan90]

Seeing so many guards justifying everything in general, I understand why serfdom was needed

Quote: magdama

Did you add ours after all? It was a good idea to keep him busy then! With the current weapons and intelligence, it is not strategic, it is not the 19th century in the yard. One rocket and the island will be uninhabited again.

Already uninhabited

[bandabas]

What? Again...? "Gestures of goodwill"?

[Alexander Raikov]

Maybe we are confusing the capabilities of the Soviet Union with the capabilities of the Russian Federation. Apparently not the same thing!

[Alexander Raikov]

and Vietnam? Angola, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Cuba, .....the list is not short

[Adagka]

Kremlinbots tirelessly sculpt the cons, it really hurts your eyes))) in essence, do you have anything to say?
why the flagship was sunk near the island, helicopters, air defense and personnel were lost. they told tales of how important he was from a strategic point of view, only to then run away, making up another lie on the fly about gestures of goodwill.

The whole task for us on this island is to ensure that there is no Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison there. With its own air defense and anti-ship missiles. But for this it is absolutely not necessary to have our own garrison there, under constant fire from long-range artillery. It is enough for us that there is no one there - neither Ukrainian troops nor Russian. Because we and they can methodically shoot him. But the Ukrainians will be simply fools if they don’t understand this and try to drag their equipment there. After all, they will definitely get a boat.
Conclusion - they need this island to cover Odessa, but we don’t need it to cover anything. We need it empty.

[aglet]

“But the Ukrainians will be just fools if they don’t understand this and try to drag their equipment there. After all, they will definitely get a skiff.”
Grandma said this in two. You need to get around the island first

[Negruz]

Individual buildings can be reached without any problems...

[svoit]

Quote: Adagka

do you actually have anything to say?

But on the other hand, the defense of the island began when the Ukrainian Armed Forces had nothing except Pion and MLRS, and our capabilities were greater, and now it is becoming more and more difficult to suppress shelling, it’s probably even difficult to allocate an information security unit for duty

[aslanxnumx]

Our President thought that by starting the SVO in Ukraine, he would take Europe and the United States by the balls, but the eggs turned out to be either strong or not, or maybe it’s not so with us. So soon we will all be in the ass with gestures of goodwill.

NATO has not specifically taken charge of us yet. As it turned out, we are not the second army in the world at all. In any case, this is what people all over the world already think, looking at our attempts to defeat a not-so-tough country.

[Nickelium]

There is no need to speak for the whole world. The Western part of the world is cowardly sitting back, sending Ukrainian meat to slaughter. Our army may even be number one in the world, but its leaders are not even in the world's top 1.

[Negruz]

Following your logic, when the Taliban movement specifically took on NATO, then....

[anjey]

A multi-step game with many unknowns

[501 Legion]

Do the locals' butts burn as always? Apparently from the comments, yes.
What kind of landing can there be if the island can be ironed from the ships of the Black Sea Fleet and no one will gain a foothold there anyway.

so if you kick out everyone who carries the blizzard with rags, as you suggest, there will be no one left in the Kremlin)))

[MrFYGY]

All that remains is to swear. People died in vain.
The enemies are not in Kyiv.

[DenVB]

The fact that they left the island was right; I long ago stopped understanding why it was necessary to retain it.

The question is what will they do with it next. Will the Ukrainians be allowed to return there without restrictions? Bad option. A good option is to let them land there from time to time, and then sweep them away with fire. Whether our fleet and air force will be able to do this is a question.

[insafufa]

MANPADS "Pantsir-S".

Since when did our shell become portable, like an air defense system?

[DenSQR]

But I beg you, MANPADS, ZRPK, what's the difference!

[Dikson]

".Mom, mom, I fought, fought, and lost..... lost..." In general, NATO is celebrating.. and Ukraine too.. Caravans from Romania and Turkey to Odessa.. Well, from all this the story with the island was not good from the very beginning.. And, accordingly, the delivery of long-range systems ended.. As a gesture of good will, it is also necessary to announce the abolition of the no-fly zone over Ukraine... - a no-fly zone over the south of Russia is quite enough..

[flicker]

The news “eclipsed” the successes from Severodonetsk and Lisichansk.
Are these events comparable in general?
---

[GUSAR]

How did control over this island allow NATO ships not to enter the Black Sea? If anyone did not allow them (and does not allow them) to go there, it is Turkey and the Montreux Convention).

[Bumblebee_3]

Let them spit on me on the site, but for me: a “gesture of goodwill” means we’ve completely crap ourselves.

[Andrey VOV]

We didn't screw ourselves up, the one who came up with this wording did.

[Ivanushka Ivanov]

Since they decided to abandon a seaborne landing, then the island is not particularly needed. It was still important as a stronghold. Plus - it expanded possibilities right up to the mouth of the Danube.

If we understand that the operation can be stopped at any time due to certain agreements... the following concept can be a logical consequence of this understanding: consistently and maximally improve our positions in the areas that are most important to us.

Kharkov region, part of Sumy and part of Chernigov region are priority over Odessa and Nikolaev in terms of Russian security. Here it is desirable to move the border so that the Moscow-outskirts radius is at least no less than the Moscow-Latvia radius. And this is approximately = 600 km. Which, at a minimum, will reduce the value of the outskirts for NATO.

But if we occupy the left bank + Odessa + Nikolaev, the price of the outskirts will drop to almost zero.

[opuonmed]

why did all the retreats happen????? and Ukraine will not shoot in Crimea?

[Archivist Vasya]

Well, Zelya can really celebrate her victory . These are our high-star generals trying to put a good face on a bad game: “Like, we are not retreating because the enemy knocked us out, but we are retreating because we are so super noble!!!” And as usual, this doesn’t work out for them.

But he knocked it out because they miscalculated, including because the fleet had backward and ineffective air defense.

[elbrus]

How many disappointed experts are there at once, shouting shame about what will happen next...
With the recent deliveries of new Western weapons, primarily anti-ship missiles and multiple rocket launchers, the situation has changed and it is currently impossible to hold the island without heavy losses. air defense is not omnipotent and ammunition is limited, logistics to the island are easy targets for anti-ship missiles. and given that target designations come from the United States in real time, sooner or later they would have bombed all the equipment and personnel on the island. should we wait for this? the decision is correct, but the propaganda explanation of “good will” is inappropriate

[Sergey Kuzmin]

The information that Russian troops left Zmeiny was published by a number of Russian TG channels, and then confirmed by the Ministry of Defense. According to the military, the island was left as a gesture of goodwill for the organization of humanitarian corridors and the export of grain from Odessa. Now Kyiv must clear the coast, as Zelensky promised, as Russia has removed the last obstacle preventing it.

We're sick of these "good wills" - there are only losses from these gestures...

[Comrade]

So you are confusing the sequence of events: first the losses, then the gestures.

[kristAl]

Now weapons will be transported through Odessa, the situation is bad

[Negruz]

Now weapons will be transported through Odessa

What kind?

[Third district]

Quote: Negruz

Now weapons will be transported through Odessa. What kind?

The one that used to be delivered by railway from the west. Artillery, MLRS, armored vehicles, and petroleum products can now be imported from the sea.

[aglet]

"Artillery, MLRS, armored vehicles, and petroleum products can now be imported from the sea."
How did an island, on which a platoon of soldiers and one torus could barely fit, prevent all this from being delivered by sea?

[Negruz]

Two days have passed: how much have they delivered?

[Alekandr]

Why was it necessary to land there at all? The island is within striking distance of MLRS and Tochki! It would be possible to fight if there were several Derivation-Air Defense ZAKs with controlled detonation on Zmeinoy. They could shoot down MLRS along the calculated trajectory of the projectiles. Thus, the TOR and Pantsir air defense systems would not be overloaded.

[Carlos Hall]

Who commands the Black Sea Fleet? This decision is stupid and unacceptable if the news is true. The war is also being waged in the field of propaganda, and Zelensky clearly scored a point.
