Explosions at the Russian Engels airfield have already been heard several times. Therefore, the Moscow priests decided to “protect” the airfield and give it an icon.
From the provision of “heavenly air defense” to Engels, they made a whole propaganda performance, which was covered by the Russian media, Channel 24 reports . However, it is not clear how the icon should help the airfield.
Will the icon help the infamous airfield
The icon of the airfield after the explosions was handed over by the Russian Orthodox Church and the Saratov diocese. The airfield management, priests and even local authorities came to the propaganda action. One of the officials, namely the deputy minister of internal and external relations of the Saratov region, Vitaly Shustov, said that the “legendary air base” helps “to protect the sovereignty of Russia.” I wonder who they are protecting sovereignty from and how the explosions at the air base help this?
However, Shustov says that the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker donated to the airfield should keep the military morale up. especially if the airfield again comes “clap”.
Explosions at Engels Airfield Essentials
Over the past year, Khlopok has visited the Russian airfield more than once. For example, on the night of December 26. Then an alarm was heard over the airfield and at least 2 powerful explosions. The Russian Defense Ministry has traditionally announced the operation of the “glorious” air defense system.
In addition, the Russian department noted that they allegedly shot down a drone at low altitude while approaching the Engels. As a result of the fall of the wreckage of drone 3, the Russian military who were at the airfield were mortally wounded.
The speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuri Ignat, said that after the “pop” in Engels, the occupiers dispersed strategic aircraft. He noted that there are still a few aircraft left on the Engels, but some of them have been relocated to other airfields.
By the way, for the first time explosions at the Engels thundered on December 5th. Then “cotton” damaged at least two Tu-95 bombers.
