The media reports that the Russian military, which withdrew the Bastion missile systems from Sevastopol, may be preparing for a night rocket attack.
Late in the evening of March 6, the Russian Bastion missile system moved out of the Cossack Bay of Sevastopol. This was reported by one of the local residents on the rights of anonymity to the Crimean Wind media.
According to him, three cars of the Bastion missile system left the Cossack Bay of Sevastopol for the Kamyshovoe Highway.
“Possible preparation for night shooting or redeployment,” the media reported.
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has not yet officially commented on the possibility of strikes against Ukraine from this Russian missile system.
Missile complex “Bastion”: what is known about it
Bastion is a coastal missile system with the P-800 Oniks anti-ship missile.
Designed to engage surface ships of various classes and types from amphibious formations, convoys, naval and aircraft carrier strike groups, as well as single ships and ground radio-contrast targets in conditions of intense fire and electronic countermeasures.
The Bastion ATGM is one of the carriers of the Oniks missile, which, in turn, along with the Kalibr and Kh-35 Uran missile systems and the advanced Tsirkon hypersonic anti-ship missile, is the main anti-ship missile weapon in the Armed Forces Russia.
Developed in the Russian Federation and put into service in 2010.
In particular, “Bastion” was used by the Russian military during the fighting in Syria.
Now “Bastion” is also in service with the Armed Forces of Vietnam and Syria.

Recall that on March 5, the Armed Forces of Ukraine warned about the threat of a missile strike by the RF Armed Forces. According to OK Yug, 16 Russian ships are on combat duty in the Black Sea, 4 of them are Kalibrov launch vehicles. This is a fairly powerful potential, which indicates the possibility of launching a missile strike at any moment, because the ships are equipped, ready and on alert.
A little earlier, the speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuri Ignat, said that the Russian Armed Forces could launch missile strikes on transport infrastructure and hydraulic structures in the spring.
