Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] Yesterday, at around 21.00, at least six boats with personnel from the main intelligence department and special operations forces of Ukraine set out from Zatoka in the direction of Crimea, who again wanted to land at Cape Tarkhankut.
But their plans were not destined to come true: a Su-24M naval aviation bomber was immediately sent in their direction, which dropped four RBK-500PTAB cluster bombs on a group of boats southeast of Zatoka -1M with anti-tank cumulative elements.
As a result, three enemy watercraft immediately sank to the bottom along with the landing party, and the rest turned around and departed in the direction of Vilkovo, where they returned by midnight, bypassing Zmeiny Island.
And from 3 am on September 10, the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to attack military targets on Tarkhankut with attack drones, but the attack was repelled. Units of the 31st Air Force and Air Defense Division shot down eight drones: two were destroyed by Pantsir, four by rifle squads, and two more were suppressed by electronic warfare.
Probably, the enemy intended to combine an attack on Tarkhankut with a UAV raid - the boats would have just approached the shores of Crimea by the time the drones arrived, which would have had a better effect. But Russian troops once again successfully repelled the attack.
Moreover, the sortie was supposed to take place on Friday, September 8th. Then the DRGs were sent to Zmeinoye on boats, from where they were supposed to head to the Crimea. However, Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft struck with several FABs, hitting a cluster of power steering and special forces and foiling the enemy’s plans.
