Russia has deployed a new division of surface-to-air missiles in Crimea.
It'll be the peninsula's second division to have an advanced S-400 system that'll help Moscow control the airspace between Russia and Ukraine.
Russian military officials say the cutting-edge missile system now fully covers the peninsula.
This comes after the US announced plans to help improve Ukraine's defenses.
Russia's S-400 system, known as Triumph, is designed to engage airborne targets at a range of 400 kilometers and ballistic missiles at a range of 60 kilometers.
