Launched Aircraft: TSN Journalists came under fire on Snake Island (Video)
Journalists also wanted to show the consequences of constant blows to the island. The plot states that border guards cannot be on the island constantly due to destroyed infrastructure, so they make periodic raids there. Ukrainian journalists went to one of these raids together with the border guards. During the filing of the plot, they declared an alarm, after which there were blows of managed aviation bombs.
"There are situations when even experienced special forces to respond to the enemy's blows. And in the snake we witness one of these situations. Air anxiety signal sounds, the enemy strikes the air. ", - said the journalist Andriy Tsaplienko. According to the military, two explosions occurred on the island that day. "It is very motivated by the fact that the boys have a normal attitude to this. They keep the morale. Scary, but controlled," Tsaplienko added.
It was later revealed that the target of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were boats, where the border guards, along with the film crew, arrived on the island. Both vessels were damaged - the board of one of the boats "sewn" through, there was a ammunition. However, the bombs fell at a distance from the boats - most of the ammunition did not receive it, so the boats were left afloat, but they refused electronics. "The engines were miraculously.
Both boats began to maneuver on the verge of their capabilities, going from possible blows from the air," Tsaplienko summarized. We will remind, on September 20 the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense showed a unit of NBD from the special unit "Timura", which liberated the island of Snake.
