In the occupied Crimea, despite the spread of coronavirus infection, the crews of tanks and armored personnel carriers are practicing defensive and offensive operations. This was reported by the press service of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia.
“The crews of the BTR-82 and T-72B3 will carry out firing from regular weapons at targets simulating armored vehicles, artillery and anti-tank calculations of the conditional enemy”,- the report said.
It is noted that planned exercises take place at various times of the day at combat training grounds on the territory of the Crimean peninsula.
We remind that in the occupied Crimea, military exercises, propaganda for military service and conscription into the armed forces of the Russian Federation are regularly held. The Russian military exercises destroy the ecosystem of the peninsula and are a gross violation of international law.
Earlier, in a statement on Crimea, NATO condemned the ongoing large-scale buildup of Russia's military power in Crimea and expressed concern about Russia's efforts and stated plans to further build up military power in the Black Sea region.
