On the night of February 11, the Russians dropped 4 air bombs on Zmeiny Island at once. To do this, they used two Su-24M bombers.
ThisChannel 24 was reported by the press secretary of OK “South” Natalya Gumenyuk. According to her, such actions of infidels are another way to achieve at least some success.
The target of the strike on the island
Natalya Gumenyuk explained that in this way the Russians literally finish off what they did not take away when their hands were busy with a “goodwill gesture”.
“They imitated a “goodwill gesture”: they collected everything what they could, they piled on the boats they had left and quickly fled from there,” she stressed.
The enemy could not resist the powerful blows of the Ukrainian defenders and abandoned the idea of deploying an air defense system there, which could become a replacement for the cruiser Moskva.
There is a lot of equipment left there, but the attention to the South in a certain way forced the enemy to imitate such victories for themselves,” she focused her attention. .
The enemy is getting weaker
They also lack the capacity to prove their importance to the military-political leadership .
“That's why we took the risk and flew there,” she said.
Gumenyuk noted that about a week before the attacks on Zmeiny, the enemy tried to make a reconnaissance flight. However, he did not achieve his goal.
That is why, taking advantage of the consequences of a massive missile attack, hiding behind the continuation of these actions, they made such an artificial victory for themselves. she said.
Fear also leads the enemy.
The fears of Russians in the South
Natalya Gumenyuk noticed that the invaders are trying to put pressure on them, fearing that the Ukrainian Defense Forces have already deployed some kind of unit on the island. This can damage the stay of their ship group in the Black Sea.Recently, not only the storm, but also the development of our military events forced their ship group to redeploy , she explained.
According to her, earlier Russia attacked the territory of Ukraine near Cape Tarkhankut. Now, the enemy is launching missile strikes from an area closer to the eastern coast of Crimea.
How Russian propaganda works
Natalya Gumenyuk reported that Russian society is now experiencing fluctuations in beliefs that the operation is going according to plan.
“They increasingly feel that when the patient got up in the operation and began to beat the surgeon, something goes wrong,” she joked.
According to the press secretary of OK “South”, now the Russians are already developing an understanding that soon neither fur coats nor “Ladas” will replace the men they sent to an incomprehensible meat grinder.
This is why the enemy needs to amplify propaganda narratives,” she stressed.
Besides, this is relevant for them precisely in the time period for the anniversary of a full-scale invasion.
