The ex-commander of the Donbass separatists and the FSB officer Igor Strelkov (Girkin) confirmed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed the Russian air defense base near Lugansk. He wrote about this in his Telegram channel.
Girkin believes that the lack of masking when moving Russian air defense systems to the territory of Ukraine is to blame for everything.
“At night, Ukrainians destroyed the air defense base next to Lugansk. And on the Web – unique personnel of how, in broad daylight, without the slightest disguise, a train with the technology of the Point -U RK is moving in the Tula region in a southern direction. What to mask tanks and BMP – since there are no covers and even camouflage nets at the disposal of the Russian Federation at all – in the end is not so necessary. But missile systems (even outdated, but combat -ready) is a priority target for the enemy. And once taking them. “To control” space intelligence means – “lose” of them further “dear Western partners” is unlikely to be able to. And therefore, you should not be surprised, if (more precisely – when) the newly formed “points” divisions will be destroyed by more long -range “himeers” of the enemy. Stages of deployment or shortly after, ”wrote Girkin.
