Partisans recorded the transportation of S-300 missiles to air defense systems in Crimea. The complex in question is located near the Kerch Bridge, according to partisan movement ATESH.

"Agents recorded the active transportation of missiles to various air defense systems in Crimea," the statement said.

According to the partisans, this indicates that the Russian Armed Forces are preparing to repel a massive attack on their military facilities and are trying to strengthen their defenses.

"This time, the agent identified the route for delivering missiles to the S-300 air defense complex near the Kerch Bridge, which they are trying to protect by all possible means," ATESH added.

Situation in Crimea

Russian forces seized Crimea in 2014. After that, the occupiers built an illegal structure – the Kerch Bridge, which connects the peninsula with Russia.

Given that this construction is illegal and Crimea is occupied, Ukraine's Defense Forces consider the crossing a legitimate target for strikes. The Kerch Bridge has already been struck twice - in October 2022 and July 2023.

Currently, Russian forces are preparing for an unprecedented attack on the Kerch Bridge. According to new satellite images, two Pantsir air defense systems, among others, have appeared in the area of the crossing.
