Near the Hvardiiske military airfield close to occupied Simferopol in Crimea, Russian occupiers are increasing their air defense forces and equipment. The enemy is redeploying such weaponry from other sections of the frontline, the partisan movement ATESH reports.
Representatives of the Ukrainian underground managed to gather intelligence on this airfield near Simferopol.
The movement noted that the enemy is actively using the Hvardiiske airfield to station its aviation and manage logistics on the occupied Ukrainian peninsula.
"We have observed a significant increase in air defense systems near the airfield, identifying numerous S-400 launchers and radar stations," the ATESH report stated.
Partisans also added that this facility plays a "key role" in providing air support and supplying Russian troops in southern Ukraine.
ATESH showed photos of enemy air defense systems and revealed the airfield's coordinates: 45.120762527, 33.957715465.
In addition, the movement reported that all the information obtained by partisans was transferred to Ukraine's Defense and Security Forces.
On January 9, ATESH partisans reported that a military convoy of Russian forces was spotted near occupied Dzhankoi in northern Crimea. The convoy was transporting not only soldiers but also ammunition for air defense systems and large quantities of fuel.
In November last year, partisans detected air defense systems in Sevastopol and promised "surprises" for the Russian occupiers.
