PARANOID Putin is urgently redeploying his air defenses to protect his £3 billion Crimean bridgehead as Ukraine bombs two airfields.
The Russian resistance movement ATESH highlighted a move to “massively transfer equipment” to the crossing.

The anti-Putin group said: “The Russians are actively relocating air defense facilities, aviation, radar stations and all surviving military installations from the western part of Crimea.
“Oil storage facilities are already empty and it is virtually impossible for even local people to obtain fuel.”
The crossing is vital to Mad Vlad’s weakening of his grip on the Crimean peninsula, which he seized from Ukraine in 2014.
If true, it appears to be leaving western Crimea exposed to more Ukrainian attacks that have destroyed multiple air defense systems.
This comes as Ukraine again targets the Russian-controlled Saki military airfield in Crimea with US-supplied ATACMS missiles.
Two Russian soldiers were injured when ammunition stocks were destroyed, causing a huge fire.
The attack hit an air defense site at Shelkovichnoye, destroying an important radar installation.
A Russian source indicated that losses were greater in the attacks in Crimea.
“Eternal memory,” said the Fighterbomber Telegram channel.

Meanwhile, a Russian Iskander-M missile hit a separate missile storage base of the Ukrainian 56th motorized infantry brigade in Krematorsk, Moscow sources said.
A HIMARS missile launcher, five Grad missiles, five tanks and up to 10 armored fighting vehicles were destroyed.
Last July, the specially developed marine kamikaze drone called Sea Baby – loaded with 850 kg of explosives – caused structural damage to the Crimean Bridge.
Two explosions occurred at the 19-kilometer intersection in the early hours of the day as hordes of drivers crossed the stretch.
Dramatic images showed mangled and contorted metal barriers on the buckled road, which is a key supply route for Putin’s troops fighting in Ukraine.
In October 2022, a bomb hidden in a truck exploded on the bridge, causing extensive damage.
However, Russia has managed to continue using the crossing, which Ukraine has repeatedly promised to destroy.
