Partisans of «ATESH» prepare for new strikes against the strategically important Kacha airfield in occupied Crimea
A Ukrainian partisan group from the «ATESH» movement, which actively conducts reconnaissance activities in temporarily occupied territories, has once again obtained crucial intelligence concerning military infrastructure in Crimea.
According to their agents, the Kacha airfield hosts key air defense systems and radar complexes that significantly enhance Russia’s military capabilities in the region.
Specifically, the site is equipped with the Pantsir-S1 air defense missile system, Pестліт radar stations, and P-18-2 radar units, which ensure control over the airspace in the area.
Photographs published in the «ATESH» Telegram channel confirm the presence of these critical systems and underscore their importance for defending the ‘Russian world’ on the peninsula.
Last month, the airfield was targeted by multiple drone attacks, including one during the night of July 23-24, which caused serious concern among occupying forces.
Experts estimate that new strikes are inevitable, and the strategy to disable the facility’s infrastructure aims to weaken enemy air power and disrupt their command and control.
Destroying or damaging radar stations hampers aerial surveillance and complicates the enemy’s air operations in the region.
The base houses aircraft from the 318th Regiment, command centers, logistics units, and radar systems that cover the southwestern part of the peninsula and support Ukraine’s air assault efforts.
All gathered intelligence has been handed over to Ukraine’s Defense Forces.
Additionally, in occupied Luhansk, activists from the «Citizens’ Force» have posted leaflets about the «ATESH» movement in the city’s central streets and residential districts.
Several local residents have responded to these actions, demonstrating that despite ongoing repression, civilians remain resilient and willing to fight against Russian occupation.
The partisans emphasize that the struggle continues and will not cease in the face of enemy terror.
