Crimea, which Russia considered its impregnable fortress for years, is now turning into one of the most vulnerable sectors of the occupation system. In 2025 alone, Ukrainian forces launched at least 185 confirmed strikes against enemy military facilities on the peninsula. The targets included combat aircraft, warships, air defense systems, missile complexes, electronic warfare assets, headquarters, and command posts.

Which facilities became the primary targets of Ukrainian middle strikes? How much did these losses cost the Kremlin? And why does Crimea remain one of the key directions for weakening the Russian army?
