Ukraine’s SOF establish aerial control over part of land route to Crimea

Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces (SOF) have established aerial control over part of the Russian invaders’ land corridor to temporarily occupied Crimea along the Melitopol–Chonhar route.

According to Ukrinform, the 3rd Separate Special Purpose Regiment named after Prince Sviatoslav the Brave reported this on Facebook and shared a video footage.

“Drone operators of the 3rd SOF Regiment have taken part of the invaders’ land route to Crimea under aerial control. Drones of the Special Operations Forces unit are destroying equipment and disrupting enemy logistics routes along the Melitopol–Chonhar corridor,” the statement said.

The SOF noted that these operations have already complicated Russian logistics, particularly the delivery of military supplies and fuel to the peninsula.
