An attack on a “secret” Russian air defense base in Crimea killed its commander

A missile strike on a “secret” Russian air defense base in the temporarily occupied Crimea killed a unit commander.

Russian media reported on this.

The burial of the commander, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Kulakov, took place in the city of Alushta.

He served in the 3rd Radio Technical Regiment (military unit No. 85683) of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which monitored the airspace over Ukraine.

Kulakov died as a result of a missile attack on May 13, 2024, when Storm Shadow missiles attacked a radio engineering unit on the top of Bedenekyr.

The fact of his death confirms that the attack on the enemy’s air defense base was successful, and that some damage was done to the stationary systems.

It should be noted that prior to the annexation of Crimea, the former commander served in the 40th Radio Technical Brigade of the South Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

After the annexation, Kulakov was supposed to return to mainland Ukraine, but decided to stay and take an oath to the Russian Armed Forces, and became a traitor.

Russia needs to be stymied.

That’s not the conversation but I think that’s fairly obvious given current events

We’re ruled by an oligarchy. The republic died a long time ago.

At the same time, the Ukrainian army is struggling to line up 250,000 men on the front line. "In all brigades, 40% of the workforce is missing," says a French military source to Europe 1. "We are facing a wave of desertion among young conscripts," confirms a Ukrainian officer. "In Kiev, we are no longer told about armaments but about a recruitment problem," continues a French soldier returning from the front after an observation mission.

Meanwhile Russian troops are on the offensive and are on the brink of surrounding Kharkiv, right?

We’ve been following the war herd formonths and again and again we read the propaganda that Russia is on the brink of crushing Ukraine. When they don’t we read that it’s a war of attrition.

Ukraine isn’t on the lbrink of winning anything, but they have proven to be anything but an easy mark. They might have thrir nightclubs full and half their troops are dead or deserters, but someone is left stopping the Russians.

I wish I knew who you thought is the good guy in that analogy...

Offensive yes, surrounding Kharkov, no.

They’re attacking all across the front and exploiting the gaps where Kiev has pulled troops out. This will lead to a cascade of failures all along the front.

What is more impressive is that Russia has taken everything, every imaginable weapon, intel, advisors, and sanctions from the west.....and they still comin, everyday taking more territory.

Ironically it is Russia fighting for its sovereignty against the global cabal, one of the remaining countries willing to do so, goodness knows the US citizenry succumbed to the wishes of the cabal years ago and its evidenced time and again on this thread.

I’ve said for a while I think this fight is more of an even fight than the bots imply it is when western support is factored in
