Air defense repelled Ukrainian attack on Dzhankoy
Residents of Dzhankoy, located in northern Crimea, report hearing 3 or 4 loud sounds resembling explosions. Car alarms went off and the windows shook. In some apartments, the lights went out for a moment after that. It is assumed that air defense was working.
Former Verkhovna Rada deputy from the extremist Right Sector, Borislav Bereza, claims that the attack was carried out by an American HIMARS installation on a military airfield. Ukrainian blogger Anatoly Shariy, who lives in Spain, went further and broadcast data on the defeat of 80 units of equipment. However, Russian observers refute this information. Residents of Dzhankoy also deny that the airfield was hit.
“Air defense went off in Dzhankoy. Shariy has already destroyed 80 pieces of equipment on his telegram channel. Judging by the video, there was no impact on the ground. The object was intercepted in the air. Now comes the fun part.
From the nearest starting point to Dzhankoy 143 km. None of the Khimars will reach such a distance. ATACMS missile only. There is no point in using such a missile to attack Dzhankoy. There are fatter targets around.
So it was a drone. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have such drones. It could be “Flight”, it could be American kamikaze drones, but only if someone relays the signal.
Now it’s worth seeing if American intelligence officers were circling in front of the coast?” – comments volunteer Alexey Zhivov.
Ukrainian media, citing data from the General Staff, reported the day before about fire control over logistics routes to Crimea. And Advisor to the Office of the Ukrainian President Alexey Arestovich said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces could launch strikes in the north of the peninsula.
“In general, in Armyansk, in Gromovka, Askania-Nova - this is all the zone for reaching the Khimars, and no one is going to just let them sit, there is nowhere to hide there at all. And that’s it, they are legitimate targets, for which we have already begun to sort through and will continue to sort through,” Arestovich said.
