Any Ukrainian counteroffensive in Southern Ukraine shortens the distance to Russian military objects in Crimea for Ukrainian high precision strikes. It is high time to define their coordinates. Last time the Center for Journalist Investigations described <\/b>Russian military objects in Chornomorske<\/b><\/a>. Military radars at Tarkhankut Cape and Russian bases in Novoozerne village are very close.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

We address a series of publications about Russian military objects in Crimea to civilian residents of Crimea and Sevastopol. As these objects are legitimate military targets for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we advise civilians to avoid them, in order to secure their lives.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Before Russian occupation, separate radiolocating company # 1476, aviation guidance point # 260 and separate radiolocating platoon # 160 of the Ukrainian Air Force were located at Tarkhankut Cape. They were part of the headquarters of separate radiotechnical Crimean brigade # 40 of the Ukrainian Air Force. <\/span>After seizure of their premises<\/span><\/a> and equipment in 2014, Russian occupants created on their basis the 3<\/span>rd<\/span> radiotechnical regiment of radio engineering troops of Airspace Forces of the Russian Federation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tarkhankut Cape also hosted one object of the Ukrainian Navy \u2013 radiotechnical platoon # 501 of the 21<\/span>st<\/span> raion of surveillance (military unit # A4249, Novoozerne village).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now this place is occupied by Russian radiotechnical platoon \\ military unit # 43536. This platoon encircles well-known Tarkhankut Lighthouse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This combination of Russian Navy and Air Force radars are \u00abeyes\u00bb of Russian occupants in north-western sector of Crimea and Black Sea. Cutting these \u00abeyes\u00bb will weaken Russian troops, their Air Forces and air-defence systems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is evident that it is not difficult for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to determine exact location of their former military object (coordinates 45.347974, 32.497709) and to strike it with high precision rockets.<\/span><\/p>\n

More important object is located two kilometers to the east from the Tarkhankut Lighthouse (coordinates 45.345563, 32.522394). It is Russian radiolocating hub. In 2016, the user of LiveJournal <\/span>starcom68<\/span><\/a>\u00a0photographed it and analyzed its equipment. Mobile surveillance radar \u00abNebo-M\u00bb (Russian pretend it can detect air and space objects within a radius of 400 km) and low level surveillance system \u00abKasta-2E2\u00bb were situated there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then situation changed. In accordance with 2019 and 2020 satellite images, two radio transparent domes were built there. It means stationary radar systems appeared near mobile radars. It makes this object even more attractive for Ukrainian high precision strikes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us look further along south-western Crimean shore \u2013 at Donuzlav Lake and the Southern base of the Ukrainian Nay <\/span>seized by Russian occupants in 2014<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Russian assault on the base and capitulation of its officers were video documented. It became one of the most known video illustrations of the Russian occupation of Crimea. It is also an evidence of the war crime of the Russian Federation as its troops used peaceful people as \u00abhuman shield\u00bb. The Center for Journalist Investigations mentioned those events in its material about one of organizers of the blockade and assault of the base \u2013 \u00ab<\/span>\u0414\u043e\u043b\u044f \u043a\u043e\u043b\u0430\u0431\u043e\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0442\u0430. \u042e\u0440\u0456\u0439 \u0416\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0431\u0446\u043e\u0432<\/span><\/a>\u00bb (Fate of collaborator.
