It became untenable after Ukrainians kept hitting it with tube artillery.
Russian anti-air on the rock also failed to stop Bayraktars from roaming the skies.
They can just airdrop mines or deploy them via ships or submarine. There's no reason to have a Grad on a tiny rock that needs to be resupplied by air and sea as a middleman.

The DP-62 "Dam" complex is designed to defeat submarine sabotage forces and means of the enemy in the form of ultra-small submarines and submarine saboteurs in order to provide anti-sabotage defense at the entrances to the docking and basing points of ships, as well as to protect the operational areas of the maritime state border.
Because it's one of the least defensible positions on the planet. A tiny rock sitting within weapons range of the mainland, with absolutely no cover to speak of. It just took the Russians way too long to figure that out.
It kind of worked as long as the Ukrainians didn't have working L/52 howitzers.
After they got the Bohdana usable and received Caesar and PzH2000 it was over.
Because its not worth holding its an easy to attack position that doesn't have any strategic use anymore since russia has taken more southern territory same for ukraine if they put equipment on the island its just gonna get striked by su25 or migs
The AA umbrella doesn't against artillery and the Russian tactical counter against artillery (artillery) can't displace in such a small area. The island needs to be about 20 km across to allow for a successful defense by displacement.
Those Ukrainian troops will probably get shelled or bombed because same difference either side. Unless they came, made the video and left which wouldn't be stupid.
Something about a movie where a univesity janitor is actually a math genius.
Criminally underrated
Dem apples.
SBlack personed
It was a gesture of good will!
Couldn't effectively supply it with living people after being bombed regularly.
Put a frickin harpoon on it!!!!!
Sink more vatnik ships!!!!
They lost about a billion $ in equipment trying to keep it.
Maybe it had something to do with all the shit they put on it exploding over and over?
>Why did Russia leave snake island?
How does a dead man escape an island?

It was a tactical feint. Gotta give the hohols a win to keep their guard down.
They return.
Turk drone fricked them up
Why did those morons put Grads on the island?
Anti rockets ship comrade *~~*~~
To shelling Odessa.
It doesn't have the range
It was for remote mining

They got hit by artillery from the mainland and had no tubes capable of countering them so they tried to use rocket artillery instead.

6 months later they still have no proper drone defences.
Pidar...
Drones are a meme. Artillery is still the King of War.

too many snakes
Actually the snakes on the island became extinct after the Soviets occupied it.
Dana-chan asked them leave, just real nicely. As a gesture of goodwill, the survivors evacuated their bleeding anuses back to Mama Rossiya.
they were just there to protect the snakes, but they couldn't actually find any.
Russia couldn't defend it and it was getting embarrassing.
By pretending to leave it as a gesture of good will they save face.
Beside, they might hope Ukraine strain itself trying to use it for combat operation so they are justified to recapture it again later.
Ukies started obtaining weapons that can easily reach it.

Real C-RAM does.
Because they were beaten into leaving
