Russian troops left Snake Island

Today is a holiday in Kyiv, Zelensky is celebrating the "great victory" in connection with the "liberation" of the Snake Island in the Black Sea. True, there is no merit of the Ukrainian military in this, the Russian garrison left the island voluntarily.

The information that Russian troops left Zmeiny was published by a number of Russian TG channels, and then confirmed by the Ministry of Defense. According to the military, the island was left as a gesture of goodwill for the organization of humanitarian corridors and the export of grain from Odessa. Now Kyiv must clear the coast, as Zelensky promised, as Russia has removed the last obstacle preventing it.



The Russian Federation does not interfere with the efforts of the UN to organize a humanitarian corridor for the export of agricultural products from the territory of Ukraine (...) Now the word is up to the Ukrainian side, which still does not clear the Black Sea coast from its coast, including port waters

- it is spoken in the message of the Ministry of Defense.

According to the report, the garrison left the island on 30 June. Some Internet resources already in the morning reported on an attempt by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to attack Serpentine. It was reported that Russia allegedly lost one Pantsir-S MANPADS.

Just a couple of days ago, information was received from Ukrainian sources that Zelensky gave two weeks to the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to capture Zmeinoye with a landing. In Kyiv, they plan to pass it off as a "big victory" against the backdrop of a complete failure in the Donbass. The island allows you to control not only Odessa, but also the mouth of the Danube.

    What a good excuse they came up with “after completing the task.” At least they themselves know what the task was. How many people were laid down, the cruiser "Moscow", equipment,....... And everything was in ashes.

    Another “gesture” similar to a “quick withdrawal” from the 3 northern regions of Ukraine. After the first, Bucha followed, with all the well-known consequences, what will happen after the second? Most likely, the Serpentine Banderlog will quickly be occupied by troops, after which they will “lease it for 999 years” to small-shaven people or mattresses, which will unfold there to their full extent and which the Russian leadership will not be strong enough in bells to throw out of there. Another shame and spitting on more than a hundred of our soldiers and officers who died and were wounded on Zmeinoy. I fully admit that Russia simply does not have the strength, means and desire to stop any attempt to attack the island, or the Russian “Buratins” and supporters of the sect of “apologists for the negotiation process” were made an offer that they could not refuse, and the leader most likely already has with them and there is no strength to fight...

    Why was it necessary to land there at all? The island is within striking distance of MLRS and Tochki! It would be possible to fight if there were several Derivation-Air Defense ZAKs with controlled detonation on Zmeinoy. They could shoot down MLRS along the calculated trajectory of the projectiles. Thus, the TOR and Pantsir air defense systems would not be overloaded.

    Your "Derivation-Air Defense" as a means of air defense is pure slag! sad

    Unfortunately, our lies are already annoying, why take them for fools. It cannot be said as it is, the island is located at a distance of 35 km from the coast, therefore the Ukrainians can fire at it, with hail and NATO cannons, and there is no way to defend it. Why did you even have to go there knowing the situation?

    The island garrison was shelled by Ukrainian artillery, supply ships were sunk by Ukrainian anti-ship missiles... No, the Ukrainians are not involved here at all, of course.
    In general, in military parlance, this is called retreat. And we retreated from the island precisely because of the actions of the Ukrainians.
    The same thing happened near Kiev, where it got to the point that our paratroopers in the forests were surrounded and cut off, after which they were destroyed. And the retreat of the 30.000 group from near Kyiv was a completely logical decision.
    There is a war going on, everyone understands everything. We are not fighting with barmalei.

    According to the military, the island was left as a gesture of goodwill for the organization of humanitarian corridors and the export of grain from Odessa.

    It’s a disgrace, and how many statements there were, we’ll bring S-300, S-400, MLRS, artillery, Russia will have a “land cruiser on Zmeinoy instead of the sunken Moscow.....
    They announced a list of weapons that wouldn’t even fit on this island, and I immediately thought, “Didn’t he write that?” because any normal person who has seen the real dimensions of o. Zmeiny should have understood that it was possible to install one or two TOR/Pantsir air defense systems there, two or three 152 mm guns and a company of soldiers with anti-tank systems and mortars to protect the coast.
    The TOR-M2 of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was drowned along with Bekh, and if ours themselves blew up the weapons that were previously brought to the island, then there are simply no words....

    another defeat for the military-political leadership of the country. why the enemy’s logistical support was not destroyed, why the railway communication through which long-range Western weapons are delivered without problems has not yet been destroyed. Putin said that these weapons are cracking like a nut, but in reality this is another deception and it is these weapons that are cracking our side along the entire front line, including in the Donbass in Donetsk every day. What's the answer?
    Execution of Nazis? A blow to Kyiv and Lvov? No!
    Exchange of Nazis who wanted to be silenced and another resignation
    The West is actively promoting the idea of ​​repeating February 1917, and the stupid Kremlin government is doing everything possible to disgrace itself.
    These idiots want to “agree” and leak everything once again.
    Or was it initially a staging to distract the population’s attention from internal problems, but everything turned out too seriously and now they are thinking about how not to offend their Western partners?
    With such a government, victory will be in question; any half measures and stopping halfway for Russia will be a defeat and a delay in a full-scale major war. If you now give the Ukronazis 2-3 years, they will be armed and trained in such a way that it will not seem enough. Don’t the Kremlin’s enemies of the people understand that with their humanism they are simply creating even more terrible consequences for the country? Or is this being done specifically for an even greater secretive genocide of the Russian People? It was not America that made it so that last year Russia had the highest population decline since the Second World War.

        it’s clear that the Kremlin is trying to merge everything into yet another Minsk agreement and once again betray the Russian people, supposedly not understanding, but in fact understanding that if we don’t bring the matter to an end now, in 2-3 years the Ukrainian regime will be prepared so that it will a full-scale war and already on our territory, with an attempt to collapse the country according to the Yugoslav scenario. Along the way, there will be attempts to repeat February 1917.
        And the Kremlin needs “humanism” in order not to offend its Western partners and to have a chance at an agreement. 30 years doesn't teach these idiots anything. Or maybe this agreement was there from the very beginning... in light of recent events, both military and political, such thoughts are coming more and more often. If only we had learned from mistakes from the very beginning, listened to competent experts and, most importantly, fought for complete victory. We would not see such consequences now. Until now, the enemy’s logistics and railway communications have not been destroyed, through which the Ukrainian regime is supplied on a huge scale, ardent Nazis are exchanged, and so on. There are no adequate responses to both military and political attacks.
        I hope that there is still at least someone in power in the Kremlin who understands the seriousness of current events and that stopping halfway for Russia will be a defeat, with deadly consequences.

    Our SOF fighters of the Russian Armed Forces destroyed the entire Ukrainian garrison of Zmeiny Island, withstood several attacks and landing attempts, and shot down a bunch of aircraft and drones.

    After the approach of cannon and rocket artillery from Western countries, in order to preserve the lives of our heroes, a successful operation was carried out to withdraw from the island on three fast Raptor boats. Then the island comes under the control of our missiles, fleet and aerospace forces.

    Could it be written like that? And we didn’t come up with anything at all, by the way.

After the creation of a ground-based group of anti-ship missiles by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it became clear that our Navy does not have any effective anti-missile air defense at all.

It’s good that we managed to get off the island without being under fire. But other questions arise. When we landed, we calculated the threats Why are Western weapons still reaching the front without hindrance?

    Russia in Ukraine operates with a very limited peacetime group, which was already small in our country.
    The ground forces are smaller than those of Turkey, which is surprising.
    But Ukraine relies on Western intelligence data that all NATO countries willingly leak to it, and relies on waves of mobilization and supplies of military resources from abroad.
    This gives it a certain advantage over Russia.
    Numerical advantage.
    And the advantage of Russian missile strikes is reduced to a minimum due to the depletion of the missile supply.
    The advantage in aviation is being minimized due to the deployment of ever new air defense systems supplied by the West.
    So no wonder.

    So who prevented the General Staff planners from correctly calculating the required forces and means to carry out the operation? Well, since they can’t put two and two together, demote everyone to the rank and file and go ahead to Gostomel and Zmeiny to implement their own “brilliant” strategic plan. Their entire mega plan was concocted on the knee, however, like everything that the current “elite” reaches for, it consisted of a small victorious war in a week, where the population joyfully greets the incoming troops, the generals seize power, and the clown Zelensky runs, dropping his suitcases. But as usual, a mistake crept into the calculations today, which is now being paid for with the lives of our fighters, there are no extreme and guilty people in such “brilliant” planning, as always, there are more and more lies, the goals are becoming less and less ambitious every day.....

Victory at the end of the match goes to the one who did not flinch and carried out his plan.

      To be fair, many forum members also proceeded from the same considerations on the basis of which the operation was originally planned.
      Selflessly proving that there are “one and a half people” of fascists and they don’t solve anything. And the bulk of the pro-Russian Soviet people. And they won't fight. Therefore, on the night of February 24, no one purposefully fired at the barracks with personnel. And as it turned out, it was in vain.
      Of course, among the total population of Ukraine there are not many fascist Svidomites, but they are the ones in key positions. And this turned out to be enough for the failure of the original plan.

    The topic of the fleet, and in particular the Black Sea fleet, is always a sore point. Since the end of the 17th century, when Peter the Great stormed Azov.
    In general, I was surprised that after the death of our cruiser we continued to hold Zmeiny. After all, it is located off the coast of Romania, at a considerable distance from our communications. For all tasks in the Black Sea, we need to have a group of 6-8 large ships of the “cruiser” and “destroyer” class there, which could destroy any air targets with the help of their air defense.

In general, there are a lot of reasons, and most importantly, all of them are valid, but how can you ask for lack of results....
    But to put an entire BTG at one crossing or to sink an entire fleet flagship near, as it now turned out, a useless rock (then it turned out that it was a useless and worthless rusty trough with nuts - well, that’s to summarize the comments of jingoistic patriots) and a couple more smaller ships, losing several units of aviation and air defense, and most importantly, the lives of the soldiers are always welcome. Well, they can also build a modest little temple for several billions (well, this is, so to speak, a job in their specialty, God himself ordered) so that there will be a place to have a funeral service for those who died heroically, it is unclear for what and why.

    The landing on Gostomel, as an idea to capture a bridgehead near Kyiv, was good.
    With the subsequent landing and unloading of troops, from the transport boards of the VKS.

    The subsequent landing by landing was not initially planned. 20 Il-76s were parachuted to an unknown location.
    IMHO Both landings, with unsuppressed air defense and active NATO radio reconnaissance, are an adventure in its purest form. Thank God the second landing was abandoned at the last moment. In general, Operation Danube 2.0 was not planned. Well, the result was very similar to the Arnhem landing of 1944.sad

Shooting them down is expensive, an anti-aircraft missile is 10 times more expensive, dill are just happy and having fun, there is nothing to get them from Zmeinoye, and pulling the Black Sea Fleet every time is not a thrill either.

    Most likely, Comrade Lesovik is right, in particular about the grain agreements; here are some of his comments.
    Quote: Lesovik
    Now Zelensky has little choice - either clear the water area or look for another excuse for refusing to transport grain by sea.

    I assume that they agreed “on grain,” but other forces actively opposed this and prevented the planned evacuation of the garrison - they were counting on a continuation of the “blockade of ports.” I also assume that the abandonment of the island was planned earlier, after the completion of the naval operation, to cover which air defense and navigation support for the sea area of ​​the island was required. This is a purely military approach, explaining the retention of the island at any cost and the agreements reached on the humanitarian corridor, the “senseless” desire to recapture the island at any cost, and then the shelling of it. Regarding Romania and the landing - "information noise" cover.

    Quote: Clever_
    Now tell me, how could the air defense stationed on the island block the ports of Odessa or the Danube? No way. It is anti-air, not anti-ship.
    Perhaps this air defense could interfere with the delivery of cargo by plane to Odessa airport? I doubt it too. The range of the Pantsir or Tor-M2 air defense system is 12 km. And from the island to Odessa - 140 km.
    How this island will suddenly help Ukraine reach Crimea is also unclear. The distance from the island to the coast of Crimea is the same (!!!!) as from the coast of Odessa to the coast of Crimea - 180 km.
    This is actually the area that was covered by the air defense delivered to the island:


    Further, over time it will become clear what exactly happened around the island. We need to see: will the mine action operation be started? and when? what forces and methods will minesweeping be carried out (including from the air)?, which NATO countries will be involved? whose bulk carriers will go where, what route and route? And most importantly, will they approach Fr. Serpentine large NK? Let's wait. And losing people and equipment is always difficult, then the “information war” will not miss its goal, even if it goes wrong.

Justifications and the fact of goodwill, this is for . In fact, our Ministry of Defense is engaged in mischief and lies. Over the last 40 days of the Northern Military District, the troops have advanced up to 10 km in some places; let’s take the advance to be 1 km/day. From Donetsk to the western border of Ukraine is 1100 km, if Russian troops move at a speed of 1 km/day, then the troops will arrive at the western borders in 1100 days or 3 years and 5 days will pass.

    I just don’t understand, fighting friends, you open Ukrainian sites with comments on this topic, there is continuous victory and victory, has our leadership really taught Butch nothing? It’s funny and sad to read. It has been demonstrated to the world community that the Russian Federation does not interfere with the efforts of the UN to organize humanitarian corridors .What kind of verbiage in the style a la Peskov, but tomorrow there will be Ukrainian equipment and weapons on the island and missiles will fly into our ships and we will wash ourselves with a bloody tear more than once. Who do we want to surprise the peacekeepers who have destroyed half of Ukraine. It was noticed as soon as the USSR and Russia are starting to fight for peace in the whole world, expect unexpected things like collapse, chaos and other delights of the fight for peace in our country. Yes, tomorrow caravans with equipment and weapons will leave from the ports of Romania and Bulgaria. We have a person in the leadership who calculates what the consequences will be will lead to the decisions of certain bosses, apparently, maybe they exist, but no one listens to them. Let’s remember the Minsk agreements that contribute to what is happening now in Ukraine in 2014. The story is when, by March 8, the leader announced to the whole country that conscripts would not be accepted participation in hostilities, and who will be, where to recruit people for the war, and it started to spread across the country, then the age of the contract was increased to 50 years, well at least not to 60, and thank you for that, then from the age of 18, offers came in, you can sign a contract, in general, when you realized that another nonsense was started, horse races began with a tambourine in search of volunteers. I want to remind you who fought in Afghanistan and Chechnya by chance, not conscripts, that’s surprising, yes. We all understand that one year of service was just a political decision on the topic of the day, This decision has nothing to do with combat training it did not carry, like the appearance of contract soldiers in the troops, for the most part a confirmation to higher headquarters that we are working in this direction. If we allow a year of service, then the pre-conscription training of this young man in a military registration specialty should be developed over the course of 3 years before service in army, but this is not even close, it’s just bullshit and fraud, no one in our country has seriously worked with the military contingent and is not working, look at our military registration and enlistment offices with frightened aunts. They fight in war, and if they start learning to fight, then there will be a big one everywhere the blood of soldiers and officers will flow. This decision on the island is ill-conceived and will still have sad consequences for us. And in this situation, it’s a pity for our dead guys who gave their lives for this island, as well as for Gostomil and Bucha. Why then was soldier’s blood shed here and there? for politics. Yes, somehow people’s lives have become inexpensive in our country.

    this was to be expected. the island is within range of even cannon artillery from the mainland. it is impossible to cover it with any air defense systems. hide and bury yourself too - the area is too small. It’s strange that they decided to leave a garrison there at all

    As General Lebed said: “The general is a democrat, he sounds like a Jew is a reindeer herder.” I readily admit that it made sense to leave Zmeiny, who was targeted by the VKS. But the bleating of the general of the RF Armed Forces about “a gesture of good will” sounds disgusting.

    The Russian garrison left the island voluntarily.

    He's talking nonsense! You left voluntarily haha, you trotted out as if from the outskirts of Kyiv and Sumy. There are a lot of videos on the Internet with shelling of Zmeiny from the mainland, he is a very convenient target for this. It just needs to be used as a stronghold during a landing operation, and with such a “stunning” speed of progress of the military operation, it is not possible to hold it. By the way, who said that the APU is only capable of hitting boilers? Where is this brovada now when you’ve been trampling in the Donbass for 4 months.

    As the military stated, the island was left as a gesture of goodwill for the organization of humanitarian corridors and the export of grain from Odessa. What is similar to leaving positions near Kiev there was something about a gesture of goodwill. I’m an ordinary resident of Russia, explain to me that a cruiser was sunk near the island not far away Moscow, then they manically climbed onto this island, brought air defenses there to the whole country, announced that the island is the key to the Black Sea, killed a bunch of Ukrainian landing troops, celebrated the victory. Now they just left the island, blew up the hard-won air defenses and in the end (as a taxpayer at my expense, multimillion-dollar equipment they just blew it up), they said that in strategic terms it is unimportant, this is a gesture of goodwill, that inadequate people work in the Defense Ministry, with mental disabilities. And you can’t say such a thing during a war, a gesture of goodwill. After this, they want to conscript a lot of contract soldiers to the military registration and enlistment offices. A person with brains will look at this and say the first was a gesture of goodwill near Kiev, the second was a gesture of goodwill on Zmeiny Island, but with such leadership you can’t fight much.

    This unfortunate island has only one strategic significance - it breeds countless Ukrainian trolls.
