1. How large was the Black Sea fleet before Feb. 2022 and how large is it now? 2. As military targets are destroyed in Crimea is Russia rebuilding them quickly or is the strength of Russia in Crimea dwindling?
A trio of suggested questions for you: Does the Black Sea Fleet have any air assets (jets, helicopters, drones, etc) on the Crimean Peninsula? If the attack on air-defense systems are a precursor to further strikes, do we have an idea of what future targets may be? What is a possible strategic objective of attacking the air-defense and HQ of the Black Sea Fleet? Is it possible that Ukraine could force the fleet to withdraw from Crimea? Keep up the great work!
