Trump to nothing: a military expert explained why the Russian Federation did not release missiles on November 11
According to Alexander Kovalenko's military-political observer, such maneuvers are typical of the enemy, and to associate them with dialogue between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the newly elected US President Donald Trump. The expert said this in a comment to RBC-Ukraine. According to the expert, the departure of aircraft of the Russian Federation without launch of missiles in the morning of November 11 showed that the Russians were ready for a massive rocket strike in Ukraine.
However, such maneuvers were observed earlier, so it is unlikely that Putin's plans had some influence of Trump. "They decided to give up the rocket stroke, because in 2. 5 months something is waiting for Trump? No. The demonstrative abandonment of the impact may be a week before inauguration. One and a half week before inauguration. But not 2. 5 months," Kovalenko said .
Needle departure is part of the everyday work of strategic aviation, so it is inappropriate to build theories around this, said the expert "they are constantly carrying out such maneuvers, Mig-31 has permanently made such maneuvers. Some conspiracy to look for, " - explained the military observer. We will remind, in the morning on November 11, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation raised in the air bombers Tu-95 and fighters of the Mig-31K, but the launch of rockets did not happen.
In several regions of Ukraine, preventive power offs have been introduced due to the threat of massive shelling. On November 12, the military expert and editor -in -chief of Defense Express expressed the opinion that new massive attacks could take place closer to the winter. Before that, the Russian Federation will accumulate rockets and work out a synchronous blow, Katkov says.
