Krabova Pastka: The Daring Ukrainian Strike That Shattered Russia’s Illusion of Invincibility
As the sun dipped below the horizon in the temporarily-occupied Sevastopol, a series of explosions punctuated the sky – ushering in the shadows of what would soon be an epoch-defining moment in the ongoing Ukrainian War. This operation, daringly executed by the Ukrainian Special Forces (SOF), left an indelible mark on the Russian Black Sea Fleet’s headquarters. Code-named “Krabova Pastka,” or “Crab Trap,” the audacious mission rattled the military nerves from Crimea to the Kremlin.
The Ukrainian Air Force dispatched Storm Shadow missiles with deadly precision, targeting the Russian Navy’s high command during a crucial meeting. Dubbed “Storm Shadow” by its manufacturers, these air-launched cruise missiles are capable of long-range strikes against fortified installations. Little did these commanders know that Friday, September 22nd, would be a day that tilted the scales of the ongoing conflict, leaving some dead and others critically wounded.
