Why did the Ukrainian paratroopers land in Crimea?

The Main Directorate of Intelligence has
confirmed the landing of a paratrooper in

occupied Crimea on the morning of August
24. The special operation took place on

Cape Tarkhankut in cooperation with the navy
and "had the character of a raid". According

to intelligence information, all tasks were
accomplished, enemy losses are being specified.

Cape Tarkhankut for the Russians has a special
strategic knowledge. The radar center of the

Russian army is located there, and it is also
the location of Russian air defense systems.

In addition, a training ground for
Russian infantry is located on the cape,

and there are fortifications on the shore
to defend against attacks from the sea.

"From this cape, they may be launching Onyx
missiles with which to attack Ukraine's port

infrastructure, it is an analog of
the US Tomahawk cruise missiles."

There was a S-400 SAM system on this cape,
which was destroyed the day before the raid.

If Ukrainian units landed at a point
that is of strategic importance,

then they can land at other points as well.

At Cape Tarkhankut, the Russians have no
dense defenses, and due to the location,

it is possible to approach there
from the sea and remain undetected.

This is what the Ukrainian side took advantage of.

Reports that Ukrainian intelligence was
conducting special operations in occupied Crimea,

were and before the outbreak of full-scale war.
What is important here is not why they landed,

but why they publicly informed about it. If
they can carry out such special operations,

and it is not the first time they
happen, it means that, theoretically,

the intelligence has a whole network at
work, this is a good signal. They are

probably letting their Western partners know that
they can do much more than they think they can.

Half a month ago, there was news that a large
group of Ukrainian commandos had arrived from

Britain, trained for amphibious operations
from the sea. And today we see that Ukrainian

scouts landed in Crimea, destroyed
something and left without losses.

The Russian Defense Ministry, of course,
reported that the sabotage group was

"destroyed," but did not present any
evidence (bodies, equipment, boats).

Britain has a long tradition in this area.

Special Boat Service is the Royal Navy's special
forces, google it if anyone is interested.

I never considered amphibious assault as a
possible scenario for the liberation of Crimea,

and never considered it as a possibility until

the liberation of the left-bank
Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions.

But, damn it, Ukrainian
intelligence is surprising!

And yes - this changes a lot, very much
indeed! It's going to be interesting, I'm sure.

There was also another great news story on
this day, but it got lost after the crash

of the Prigozhin flight, I'd say they all
got lost. Ukrainian intelligence officers

hijacked a Russian Mi-8 helicopter. Six months
before that They recruited the Russian pilot,

the leader of the board, of the Russian Mi-8
helicopter. During this time he made 2 flights

between Russian airbases, collected valuable parts
for fighter planes that were to bomb Ukraine.

And taking on board 2 crew members, who did not
know that this flight leader had already been

recruited, flew to the territory of Ukraine. Well,
actually these two passengers were liquidated,

and the guy who was recruited surrendered to the
Ukrainian security services. Well, now he's under

the cover of the Ukrainian state, and his family
was taken out of Russia before the operation.

The helicopter was taken to Kyiv, well the secret
documents have now been sent for decryption.

All this is a demonstration of the fact
that the Ukrainian Mossad was born,

a cool Ukrainian special service was born,

which at the global level can carry out
such powerful, strong special operations.
