What is known about the failure of the Russian army's amphibious operation to seize the Odesa region
In an interview with journalist Natalya Moseychuk, Neizhpapa explained that conducting such an operation required the presence of two conditions.
In particular, the Russian occupiers should have succeeded in their own land operations, but fortunately this did not happen.
According to the plan of the enemy, he was not supposed to capture Mykolaiv, although this was also in his plans, but to bypass Odessa from the north. Take the Odesa region into the ring and only after that land the marines. This did not happen. The 80th brigade stopped the landing of Russian troops near Voznesensk, - noted the commander of the Armed Forces Navy.
He emphasized that at the beginning of the criminal war unleashed by the Kremlin against Ukraine, the enemy carried out demonstration actions near the Ukrainian shores, and fully formed a group of amphibious ships that could land an amphibious assault.
How Russia planned an amphibious operation to seize Odesa region
According to Neizhpapa, ships of fire support and support were supposed to be involved in the operation. "Plus a group to isolate the area to, as they believed, prevent NATO ships from entering the war zone.
In addition, there was a tactical group that was engaged in the task of "Caliber" strikes throughout the territory of Ukraine."
Russia brought amphibious ships almost to the coast, although it knew that it was mined, so that the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not overturn their units, troops that are intended for anti-amphibious defense.
They were playing a demo game. Made, by and large, according to the classics of military art, which were developed in Soviet times. It was easy to read - take the book and everything is as written in it. Because we studied one book at a time. This has all changed over the past two years. And they don't fight by the book like that anymore, and we didn't fight by this book from the very beginning, - emphasizes Neizhpapa.
