Not clear how much beach reconnaissance Russia has been able to do. But they should anyway know these beaches well.
Based purely on geography, the armchair answer would be for Russia to land at Karolino-Buhaz.
But that has a lot of urban cover for defenders and the assault could easily get bogged down. It is unclear what the Ukrainian defenses are like here.
Expect helicopter assaults just behind landing beach.
This must be carefully coordinated to work. The airborne troops cannot survive long if the cross-beach troops, with heavier equipment, don't reach them
Highlights:
* Amphibious landings west of #Mariupol, coord with land-based attacks
* civilian ships attacked
* Attack on Snake Island Feb 24 - SLAVA cruiser
Obviously we have woken up to a major invasion of #Ukraine by #Russia. I am not going to be one of those #OSINT people who try to capitalize on war for Social Media reasons. But I will follow naval aspects. Mostly analysis
Right now there is a Russian navy hydrographic vessel near #Odessa. Likely weather intelligence for Russian forces, not sexy but important
There are also a number of warships, some with kalibr cruise missiles. These are likely firing missiles in ‘first day’ strategic strikes. But vessels carry relatively few missiles. Kilo submarines only 2-4
