Sivkov: F-16s from Romania could have hit Crimea. The “fifth column” is preventing the defeat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
The Russian army has accumulated enough resources to completely defeat the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but this is hampered by foreign policy factors in the form of the threat of a direct clash with NATO and domestic factors such as the interest of the “fifth column” in preserving its economic assets abroad.
Deputy President of the Russian Academy of Missile and Artillery Sciences (RARAN) for information policy, Doctor of Military Sciences Konstantin Sivkov stated this on the air of Radio Komsomolskaya Pravda, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Sivkov explained that there are two ways to secure the territories of the Russian Federation from shelling from Ukraine.
“If we solve the problem in a palliative way, then naturally we are talking about increasing the effectiveness of the air defense system, that is, about building up air defense forces and means. Our system is so effective. But in order to ensure almost 100%, you just need to increase the number of funds, ensure the depth of reconnaissance at a range one and a half times greater than the firing range of missiles and to a depth of at least 150-200 km, so as not to reveal these same movement installations and provide a reaction time of several minutes to complete the task and destroy them. But it is extremely difficult, extremely.
But if you make a radical decision, then you need to understand more broadly and speak more clearly - you need to carry out a strategic operation of a group of fronts. We now have enough forces deployed there for an operation by a group of fronts to completely defeat the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Left Bank part of Ukraine, and we are quite capable of doing this. According to the experience of the Great Patriotic War, according to the experience of an operation of this kind, it can take a month or a month and a half. After this, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as an organized force, will cease to exist,” the expert is convinced.
He named several reasons why such an operation has not yet been agreed upon, although the Russian Armed Forces are today capable of carrying it out. First of all, this is the foreign policy factor of the threat of the transfer of nuclear weapons to Ukraine, as well as the threat of direct intervention by NATO countries. However, Sivkov noted, information has been published that the missile attack on Crimea on January 4 was carried out by F-16 fighters launched from the territory of Romania.
“If this is so, then NATO has already entered directly into hostilities. And this is the same foreign policy factor because of which we act very carefully. The second factor is internal political, this is the “fifth column”, and here its influence is very serious, we must understand this. The interests of the “fifth column” are economic interests. We must not forget that a huge amount of assets have been exported abroad and are owned by persons occupying a serious position in Russian society. And their influence on the nature of hostilities is of course noticeable,” Sivkov emphasized.
