On Monday, December 7, despite the spread of coronavirus infection, another illegal military exercise took place in the occupied Crimea, during which the pilots completed simple and complex flight missions. This was reported by the press service of the Southern Military District of the Russian Federation.
“As part of the training flights, the pilots worked out the performance of simple and complex flight missions from medium and low altitudes, taking into account the overcoming of the air defense means of a simulated enemy”,- the message said.
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.
