Because of the heavy losses.

In the temporarily occupied Crimea, the command of the Sevastopol air defense division of the Russian army was threatened with dismissal. The reason for this is systematic losses of air defense equipment.

A Telegram channel of the guerrilla movement "ATESH" reports that.

"Due to accumulated losses in the air defense units of Crimea, an inspection commission from Moscow has been sent to Sevastopol. According to ATESH agents, the issue of changing the command staff of the 31st Air Defense Division is being considered," the publication said.

The guerrillas noted that the Sevastopol division is part of the 4th Air Force and Air Defense Army of the Southern Military District. It is responsible for covering the airspace over the peninsula, including the areas of Sevastopol and Dzhankoy. For this purpose, the occupiers use S-400 Triumf complexes.

"Significant losses of air defense assets have recently led to a tangible weakening of the defense of the Kherson region and Crimea. Moscow appears to recognize this," ATESH added."
