ATESH partisans play a crucial role in gathering intelligence on the location and movements of Russian forces in occupied Crimea and have had a number of spectacular successes, most notably the Ukrainian missile strike on Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in September.
“We managed to attract one of the military members of the Russian Black Sea Fleet,” they told exclusively Kyiv Post at the time.
“He got up-to-date information about the placement and probable combat missions of the Rostov-on-Don submarine.”
A series of explosions rocked the Sevastopol Shipyard in Russian-occupied Crimea in the early hours severely damaging the “Rostov-on-Don” submarine and the “Minsk” Large Landing Ship.
ATESH has also conducted a number of infiltration operations, including at Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod Airfield, exposing a hideout for Russian fighter jets.
