UK Ministry of Defence assesses impact of Ukrainian strikes on Crimea
Four Ukrainian strikes on Russian military targets in Crimea have degraded Russia's ability to defend the airspace around the illegally annexed peninsula, the Ministry of Defence says.
In its defence intelligence update on X, the Ministry said the strikes had also demonstrated Ukraine's capability to impact Russian Air Defence operations.
Ukraine attacked Belbek airfield on 14 May, destroying elements of an air defence missile battery, including a radar system and launchers.
It carried out three other successfull attacks between 16 April and 12 May.
The Ministry said it was highly likely Russia would have to disperse and relocate air assets, ultimately increasing flight hours and maintenance requirements.
