Not sure about the reservoir, sometimes with the bag/bladder fuel dumps, engineers build a bank/sandbag wall around them but don't know if the Russians even use those systems.
One small helipad makes me think in civilian terms, executive heliport. In military terms, high ranking officer heliport. The heliport's geographic coordinates are 46° 4'47.60"N, 34°48'34.17"E
Wow, a long posting from you there Suchomimus! Very interesting the Russians appear to expend a lot of effort into defensive positions. Lacking confidence in a positive outcome, methinks! Thanks for your update, AJ
GLSDB is coming! Lilliputin can clench his tiny little fists, but he can’t change the eventual outcome: Russia’s going home empty-handed, with reparations to pay.
Blocking a water landing would be my guess. They’re worried about another special forces landing or some island hopping skipping around the main fortifications. Just guessing
I've built temporary heliports. None was built on mud, all had a hardcore base. Military hele's weigh a lot more than the 4 seaters I worked with. I would guess they would only be usable if the ground was frozen or baked hard.
The general layout of the South Kherson defenses look incredibly naive. Why do they think that a position needs to straddle a road to block the road? Why do they think that attack axes are the same as supply routes? Once again, this looks performative: for an audience of maybe 1, or 2 at most.
When I see more than one vehicle track it's Storage. More likely weapons and less likely Water. This is one of the few routes into Crimea. The first defense will be to blow the bridges. An operating Defense base would make sense. But, of course, there may have been a General paid $50 million to build a $500,000 helicopter base and it's just dirt.
I had a feeling they were gonna militarize the spits everywhere around Crimea. Ukraine has drones for the confirmation of bases and artillery to make them no more. Glory to the heros glory to Ukraine.
4:09 Russia is supposedly going to beef up that road along the beach as a second major artery in/out of Crimea, it could be a defensive base for that road or staging area for construction vehicles for the project…
If you consider there is a shipping canal from Caspian to Azov and the azov sea has been restricted to only approved russa ships then delivery of things to this coast can be in secret.
The more such things that we see the more emphatic it becomes that Ukraine concentrate more effective effort against Russian logistics / supply. The ability to deprive Russian forces of supply will become more and more pivotal in the next weeks and months.
I looked these up on Bing maps, only 3.75 miles apart. Even more interesting is what is on the east side of that field. This is a coastal beach/resort area with tourist traps/attractions. Rows of rental cottages, a few small amusement parks, a kite surfing school, and even a safari park. I think remember a news story about the safari park and how it struggled after the 2014 invasion.
I think the second position could be a defensive position. Even though the Ukrainians don't have to go straight through it, they would have to neutralize it in order to pass by. It makes a lot of sense for the Russians to build small heliports that might go unnoticed in order to quickly meet to reload and refuel somewhere closer to the front lines instead of flying all the way back to base. They might have a bunch of them that the helicopters rotate around so that they can't be targeted efficiently because the target is so fleeting and Ukrainian ranged weapons work best against fixed locations.
Shred the site
Get rid of the maggots
Special ops/ field hq
3 white areas are concrete bunkers we seen a few months ago
Maybe they are guarding the wheat fields ;0)
Vy nikogda ne mozhete byt' slishkom bezopasnym.
It's clear the Kerch Bridge must be taken out, then none of those static defenses will matter.
laughs in Strizh
Hi and thanks for the updates. can you put the light towards kallingrad? there are many Hind helicopters now.. see what awaits…
Fingers crossed and soon they be visited by uncle himars

Water reservoir? Perhaps it's a magazine holding fuel, and ammunition?
They're just so used to digging trenches by now that when they run out of useful places to put them, everyone starts digging anywhere they feel like.
the three white squares are on the wrong side of the trenches
Ukraine gotta start watching your videos cause they ain’t doing to hot the past few weeks😅
It feels like the news is not caring about this anymore I don't see it on like I did every day

Not a drone launch and recovery area. That is done from areas not so obvious for targeting.

Modern Armor & long-Range Missiles incoming!!👌

Heniches‘k escape airport?!😊 the New Kherson oblast administration is nearby.
Could this water contraption be a fuel reservoir for the heliport?
GLSDB time?

Ukrainians are getting devastated all across the front, and you are show us this almost pointless things. Great.
Thanks for such great aerial intelligence.
What happened to all the Himars – it has been very quite lately – is it that Russia has wiped out a number if these or have they out.
You would have thought that The Glorious Ukrainians would have attacked deep behind the Russian Lines and taken on the Airbases in Crimea!

Suchomimus, you put to most hope in wonder weapons, in ww2 someone hope the same.
An ammunition bunker with enough safety distance to the heliport?
Thank you Suchomimus. ✨️🇺🇦

Roofs of concrete bunkers? Pads for missile launchers?
At the end there all the defensive position shows 1 thing…They are protecting the water supply!!! Nova kakova to Crimea he canal!!!!

Perhaps it's for a vacation villa of an over-optimistic oligarch? Price on Zillow likely down.

They don't even have to take Crimea, just destroy the bridge and cut it off completely until negotiations begin
Studies show we all underestimate the
number of stupid people in the world.
Possible radar site for a S-300?
GONE IN 3 2 1!!!
It will be dealt with shortly ….looks to close
Knowing their plans may have changed, perhaps theses are abandoned works? Always good content. Thanks for the insight.
