Agents of the ATESH partisan movement conducted a detailed reconnaissance of a military airfield near the town of Saky in the village of Novofedorivka—one of the key air bases of the Russian Aerospace Forces in the temporarily occupied Crimea.

According to Ukrinform, the ATESH movement reported this on Telegram.

During the surveillance, the current locations of Su-30 fighter jets were recorded, including parking areas, shelters, and aircraft flight paths across the base.

Coordinates: 45.098046, 33.575647.

In addition to aircraft positions, the movement’s agents recorded the locations of refueling infrastructure, maintenance and repair areas, the positions of air defense crews on duty at the base's approaches, and the intensity and frequency of sorties.

Separately, the movement routes of personnel and special equipment between the base’s facilities were tracked.

The Su-30s at this airfield serve as the primary interceptors: it is these aircraft that are scrambled to destroy Ukrainian naval and aerial drones heading toward targets in Crimea and the Black Sea Fleet.

All the information gathered was forwarded to the Ukrainian Defense Forces for decision-making.

As reported by Ukrinform, partisans reconnoitered the containment boom barrier system in Sevastopol Bay and individual piers.
