He noted that the United States and NATO countries were openly conducting reconnaissance on behalf of the Ukrainian Armed Forces using satellites and border surveillance equipment. Additionally, the Pentagon admitted to providing HIMARS systems and GPS-guided long-range ATACMS missiles to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Koshkin noted that the increase in the number of reconnaissance flights over the Crimean Peninsula indicates not only the intensification of reconnaissance activities, but also the increase in bombardment.
The intensification of actions is seen as a change of strategy due to the unsuccessful counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The military expert believes that the new approach focuses on carrying out long-range missile strikes, which requires improving air defense and electronic warfare systems.
The publication notes that in recent months the United States and its NATO allies have significantly increased the number of reconnaissance flights near Crimea, and according to Flightradar24, this number has tripled since the beginning of the year.
