An American newspaper writes about the alleged involvement of Ukrainian special forces in explosions at an airfield in Crimea

70

In the American press there was a publication attracting special attention. It was written by columnists for the Washington Post. The publication is devoted to the topic of explosions that thundered the day before near the Crimean village of Novofedorovka, where a military airfield is located. According to the latest data, as a result of the explosions, 13 people were injured, one died. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, we recall, as the official version, announced the cause of the explosions was careless handling of aviation ammunition.

The mentioned American newspaper claims that the explosions at the airfield in Novofedorovka are allegedly the result of an operation by Ukrainian special forces. At the same time, American reporters refer to a certain official of the Ukrainian government. His name and specific position are not mentioned.



The material contains a statement by the official, where he talks about the actions of the Ukrainian special forces in the Crimea. At the same time, no details of the “special operation” are given.

Recall that a few months ago, the Zelensky administration announced the “demilitarization of Crimea”, declaring the readiness of the SSO units (special operations forces) to “work”. At the same time, the Kyiv regime does not hide the fact that the training of Ukrainian SOF units is carried out by American, British and Canadian military instructors.

The same WP newspaper, referring already to an American official, writes the following:

An American official, speaking on condition of anonymity, also said that there was "a high possibility that Ukraine could be behind the attack in Novofedorovka in Crimea."

It is also added that the rocket weapons it was not used.

        Rather, this is not a version, but a rewriting of events for your own interests. It’s just that in the text they replaced their specialists with Ukrainian ones. Yesshiba was in martial law, then for those responsible it was a tribunal. And so looking at what they write off.

            Are there any injured Russian soldiers killed? Thank God no. (Currently) Only 1 civilian was killed and 13 wounded.
            So the assault on the military base in the spirit of "Delta Force", where sentries, checkpoints, crossing the fence, mortar shelling, etc., were eliminated, did not have!! A civilian copter with a grenade is not an option. Especially after Sevastopol.
            I think this is really negligence due to emergency work from the wheels. But against the backdrop of SVO, it's hard to believe.

              It's just the most likely option. And it is quite possible that the same group worked as with the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet.

            It remains only to remember that Ukraine is acting in this direction.

              hi Now they will throw hats at you) Girkin annealed on this topic, apparently he no longer has the strength to be nervous.

              In general, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that ammunition was stored in Novofedorovka, it exploded, but there was no attack on it. Here they lay for themselves, and then (simultaneously in two places) they took it and exploded. It happens that….
              One chance in a million in a million years, but what kind of miracles do not happen in the army (especially in ours). And if anyone thinks that DoD officials are misleading the public, then I strongly reject such a possibility! - it is widely known to everyone that the Plywood Marshal and his associates cannot lie ... at most - they will get a little carried away (as in the case of 30 thousand "Syrian volunteers eager to take part in the NWO" ... not to mention the fact that "our army is equipped with everything necessary "). But is passionate people a bad thing? Has the ability to fantasize (and even be creative) become not a virtue, but a vice?!? No, no and NO!!! Therefore, the entire Crimea must be patient! - "Donbass endured and ordered you!". And note - Donbass suffered for 8 years and still suffers! Therefore, if someone imagines that the partners have crossed some "red lines", then such thoughts are deeply apolitical and we will still fight mercilessly against them!

              Yes, even Delta. Firstly, did they go there from Ochakov under water? Did the PL deliver them? Specialists of this kind are known right up to the color of their favorite underpants. It is extremely problematic to enter the territory of the Russian Federation, and even more so to have time to prepare. Further another. Get into the territory. Have you been to the weapons depots? Were lighters and cigarettes taken out of pockets under supervision? A person from the outside can not go there. There is a variant of the copter, but it beats a little for the reason that there is a small fork in time. Well, or they were wildly lucky that they got to the moment when the weapons were dragged to the site at that very moment. Hanging for hours and waiting will not work. To slap from a grenade launcher, too, without a chance for the shafts. There is only one option left. The man inside the service. But this is no longer special forces, but undercover intelligence. their diocese.

                Modern means of sabotage can be of any shape and can be hidden in various elements of clothing, for example, in the heels of shoes. Have you seen many shoes checked?
                And to be honest, I would like to know how long this ammunition was stored there? It was possible to install "surprises" earlier, for example, during transportation. That's where special forces can get involved. And activate the signal from the satellite.
                At the BDK "Saratov" it all started with an explosion and fire of ammunition in the hold of the ship. And on the Moskva missile launcher, the same thing happened with the explosions, which led to a fire and a de-energization of the ship, and then to his death, but this is definitely not a mythical anti-ship missile

        Theoretically, they could, with something small and quiet (drone, mortar), since it worked out in Sevastopol. M.b. there is an opportunity, the terrain allows, to launch something from a distance of 1.5, 2 km. Could buy someone inside the servants. Recently, they tried to recruit pilots, it did not work out, it could have worked out with others if they worked "by area".

          I also think that it was not without a 60mm mortar. It does not shoot loudly, the sounds of shots can be drowned out, for example, by loud music from a nearby car, mines fly silently. They could shoot from 3 km, aim at jeepies using operational images received via the Internet from the leadership. We arrived in Crimea by car, most likely as tourists from the Russian Federation, not from local ones.

      Most likely it was a sabotage, like with an attack on the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol.

      An ordinary UAV with a suspended explosive device, nationalists burn such tanks and infantry fighting vehicles right on the front line and neither electronic warfare nor disguise can save, let alone blow up boxes of ammunition like two fingers.

      Do not forget that the United States supplied the nationalists with a lot of loitering ammunition - Switchblade, this could also attack the base.

      And all this is done not by muscular fur seals or special forces, but by ordinary people pretending to be tourists, quite possibly even with Russian passports.

      This is once again about the need for hangars, including those protected for equipment and ammunition

      Do you know for sure that there are no hangars there? If you don't know, then don't talk nonsense.

      As far as I remember, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and a handful of people said that the planes and other aircraft at the airfield were not damaged. Then where are the satellite images with the burned wrecks of several SU-24s at this airfield being downloaded via the telegram channels of Russian military correspondents? Does anyone know the truth? Tired of guessing who's lying. In this case, just check.

      The weakness of the army is that it cannot recognize the obvious. A strong army would allow the partisans to attack and immediately destroy the Ukrainian center. How can I consider the numbers of Ukrainians killed to be true: one has to doubt it. am

      So Khokhly and twin towers blew up. Let them prove they don't.

        Let's clarify. On the occasion of the “death” of the twin towers, the then Ukraine declared a day of mourning: funny programs were not broadcast, lightweight films and comedies were canceled, captions appeared every five minutes and after advertising: We are singing to you! In unison with your irony, I'll add: it's time to retroactively add to the next anniversary of these events "a suddenly discovered Russian trace." I believe that adherents in the States, Ukraine and Europe will be found immediately.

      Speaking seriously, there are plenty of outspoken supporters of the current Ukrainian authorities in Crimea at the present time. Moreover, many, up to undisguised hatred for Russia, express their readiness to go to war for it. There is also a contingent of Crimean Tatars from among the Chubarovites and Dzhamilevites, who are much more aggressive and anti-Russian. Why would I? Probably, to the fact that the Novofedorovka incident, most likely, is far from the last among the upcoming tests that await Crimea in the near future. And you need to be ready for them. And, of course, not in the same way as the events that took place at the airbase showed.
