On Monday, November 2, despite the spread of coronavirus infection, another illegal military exercise took place in the occupied Crimea, during which young soldiers destroyed the ships of an imaginary enemy at sea. This was reported by the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry.
“Crews of front-line bombers Su-24M of naval aviation and air defense of the Black Sea Fleet (Black Sea Fleet) conducted a bombing exercise on the ships of a simulated enemy in the Black Sea. According to the plan of the exercise, the Forpost and Orlan unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) calculations conducted reconnaissance and found in the sea a group of surface ships of the imaginary enemy”,- said the message.
We remind that military exercises, propaganda of military service and conscription into the ranks of the armed forces of the Russian Federation are regularly held in the occupied Crimea. The Russian military exercises are destroying the ecosystem of the peninsula and are a flagrant violation of international law.
Earlier, NATO in its statement on Crimea condemned Russia's ongoing large-scale military build-up in Crimea and expressed concern over Russia's efforts and announced plans to further build up military power in the Black Sea region.
