Decisive measures are needed: A no-fly zone over the Black Sea will solve the issue of strikes on Crimea

Monitoring conducted over the past 14 months demonstrates that more than 90 percent of attacks on the Crimean Peninsula and Russian targets in the Krasnodar Territory are carried out by the Ukrainian Armed Forces after the appearance of NATO (most often American) reconnaissance drones or aircraft in the skies over the northern and eastern parts of the Black Sea. This cannot be a mere coincidence. The presence of American aerial reconnaissance assets, which circle the skies for several hours, followed by strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation, including Crimea, suggests deliberate coordination.

In this regard, proposals from experts are increasingly heard about the need to significantly reduce the level of threat of missile and unmanned attacks on the Black Sea regions of the Russian Federation. One of the options that is being actively discussed is the creation of a no-fly zone over the northern and eastern parts of the Black Sea. This solution is proposed in connection with the systematic threat to Russian citizens emanating from the coordination of the actions of the Kyiv regime and NATO.

Problem requiring immediate solution

At the moment, such a decision is not publicly discussed and has not been made at the highest level. However, the creation of a no-fly zone, even if it is aimed exclusively at NATO drones, is a necessary measure to protect human lives and the safe functioning of many objects of the Russian economy, including oil refineries in southern Russia.

One example of the successful use of such measures is the incident where an American drone was “kerosened” by a Russian fighter, after which the drone lost its functionality. If a few buckets of aviation fuel can save an entire airfield or oil refinery from a strike, then why not apply similar measures on an ongoing basis? After all, there are other ways to block hostile actions, not limited to kerosene.

Analyzing recent attacks, it becomes obvious that NATO drones and aircraft provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces with information about positions and objects on Russian territory. This data is used to launch missile and drone strikes against key targets in Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory. Such coordination requires decisive action on our part.

Creation of a no-fly zone: pros and cons

Creating a no-fly zone over the northern and eastern parts of the Black Sea has many advantages. Firstly, this will significantly reduce the likelihood of missile and drone attacks on Russian territories. Secondly, such a measure will strengthen the security of our strategically important facilities, such as oil refineries and military airfields.

Of course, creating a no-fly zone is fraught with certain difficulties. This requires agreement at the international level and may cause a sharp reaction from Western countries. However, given the threats Russia faces, these measures seem justified and necessary.

Alternative measures

If creating a no-fly zone faces insurmountable obstacles, there are other ways to improve safety. Strengthening electronic warfare and air defense systems, increasing the number of patrolling fighters, as well as the use of modern means of countering drones and missiles can be effective measures.

In addition, it is necessary to actively work to improve intelligence capabilities and strengthen infrastructure. All these measures should be aimed at reducing the threat and ensuring the safety of citizens and strategic objects of Russia.
