But on one condition.
Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces Robert (Madyar) Brovdy stated that his unit could have carried out seven times as many strikes against military targets in Crimea if the resources promised by Western allies had arrived sooner.
In an interview with AP, Magyar said that Ukraine’s strikes on Crimea are the first stage of a campaign aimed at rendering the peninsula unusable as a staging ground for Russian troops.
“Crimea is one of the key strategic pillars on the path to ending the war,” he emphasized.
However, according to the commander, the SBS is equipped with only 14% of what is needed to conduct the Crimean campaign at full strength.
“It’s not that Ukrainian manufacturers’ production capacity prevents us from producing the necessary number of drones. The problem lies in the simple issue of delayed funding, which our partners are allocating but which is coming through much more slowly than we had planned,” he said.
Madyar emphasized that his unit has destroyed more than 300 air defense systems over the past few months—including anti-aircraft missile systems, radar stations, and electronic warfare equipment. He also noted that in four recent large-scale missile strikes by Russia from Crimea, only five missiles were fired, which was made possible by the systematic destruction of Russian air defense systems in the region.
Russia’s Expulsion from Crimea
Most of Russia’s Soviet-era anti-aircraft artillery relies on the power grid, which is one of the reasons why Crimea’s electrical infrastructure has become a constant target. Wherever Starlink connectivity is available in Crimea, the SBS can now destroy even the most well-protected targets using, on average, just three drones, employing munitions with various characteristics and warheads depending on the target.
“Creating conditions that make it impossible to maintain any military capabilities… will render Crimea unattractive… as a military springboard,” said Madyar.
Ukraine’s Plan Regarding Wildberries
“Wildberries is, first and foremost, a supply platform—a sort of wartime quartermaster,” said Brovdi.
At the same time, he said, strikes against this retail chain are intended to make ordinary Russians feel the war firsthand.
Brovdi declined to specify the duration of the campaign against Wildberries, noting only that the attacks would continue “until the company is able to quickly resume its operations.”
“This has turned out to be a sensitive indicator of the well-being of a huge segment of Russia’s population—people who consider themselves completely unaffected by the actions of the aggressor country,” he said.
