Propagandist Solovyov discredits the air defense units of the Russian army
"We are shooting down everything, but the damn debris! We are observing controlled burning! What nonsense?!"
Kremlin propagandist Vladimir Solovyov is angry about the attacks on the infrastructure of the strategic aviation airfield in Engels.
As reported by Censor.NET, Solovyov was most angry about the "debris" of downed air targets, after which it is necessary to fight fires at important military facilities for several days, and about the Russian air defense, which "shoots everything down".
Earlier, the General Staff reported that on the night of January 14, the Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out the most massive strike on military facilities of the occupiers at a distance of 200 to 1,100 km deep in the Russian Federation. The targets in the Bryansk, Saratov, Tula regions and the Republic of Tatarstan came under attack.
On the night of January 14, Ukrainian drones, in particular, damaged at least one tank at the Saratov Oil Refinery. The refinery is located next to the Engels Strategic Aviation Air Base, where the Tu-95 and Tu-160 aircraft are located, which the Russian army systematically uses to shell Ukrainian territory.
