Baltia, Partisans or Armed Forces: Who and where could run the drones that attacked Russia
The propagandist Volodymyr Solovyov in his program "Full Contact" of August 30 stated that Pskov was attacked by unmanned aircraft that had launched from one of the Baltic countries. "Let's break into a number of obvious questions. Pskov is near NATO. Where did the launch come from? Said Solovyov live. This version is followed by a propagandist journalist Sergei Martan (Lelek).
In his Telegram channel, he wrote that the attack on the airfield in Pskov is similar to the use of the same tactics as the airfield near Novgorod. "An extremely unlikely attack from the Baltic and Ukraine. And so, so, the enemy's DRGs work. You can ignore the experience of Sincens for a long time and within your framework it is quite consistent It will be the only possible solution, "Mardan wrote.
In turn, Russian military expert, captain of 1 rank Vladimir Gundarov believes that without the permission of NATO and the USA, the Baltic country would not dare attack the European territory of the Russian Federation with drones. Therefore, the Ukrainian military has most likely released drones. According to the expert, the safe ways of flight drones had to be explored, it was necessary to find out the accurate separation of aircraft at the Pskov Military Aerodrom and get.
Gundarov believes that all this requires careful preparation and good knowledge of the situation. "To launch from another territory (Estonia, Latvia) means this territory to join the military conflict. Without the permission of the government of these countries and without the permission of NATO and the US, no one will do it," the Russian expert said. Gundarov believes that drones have been launched from northeast of Ukraine.
"They were launched from somewhere from the Khmelnytsky region, from the northeast of Ukraine. But how they overcame all the borders of air defense - it remains a mystery," he said. The Russian also insists that the Ukrainian military has helped the Starlink satellites, as well as military satellites of the United Kingdom and the United States.
Ukrainian journalist Andriy Tsaplienko believes that the variety of versions of UAV strikes indicates that Russia has become confused in its own propaganda narratives. "If you admit that UAVs were flying somewhere from the Baltic, we need to answer. And Russia does not want to answer. Because it is afraid of direct conflict with NATO. If you admit that UAVs were flying from the territory of Russia, it means that there are guerrillas in Russia. contradicts the narratives of the Kremlin propaganda.
Therefore, the working version - the drones were flying from Ukraine, "he wrote. Tsaplienko also noted that as of now, it is too early to draw any conclusions where the drones actually arrived. The Ukrainian military expert noted that Russia has not yet provided any evidence of Ukraine's involvement in a massive UAV attack, but in this case the drones were able to overcome the distance of at least 700 km from the border to Pskov unnoticed and were not beaten by the air defense system.
"If you assume that these UAVs were flying from Ukraine, what a route? About 400 km is near the border with Belarus. Then it is a Pskov region bordered by Latvia and Estonia - NATO countries. There is no air defense along the border with Belarus and in the area that borders with terrible and aggressive NATO countries? ” He commented.
Oleksandr Kovalenko also suggested that a third of the existing air defense complexes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation burned in Ukraine, one third is in Ukraine to cover the occupation troops, and those who remained, the Russians were drawn to Moscow and the Crimean bridge, hoping to protect them at least. At the same time, every day of these funds becomes less and less. Recall that on the night of August 30, the largest UAV attack was carried out on Russia.
