The Russian Defense Ministry announced a retaliation strike in the coming days. Moscow emphasizes the factor of the death of Russian servicemen from long-range ATACMS missiles, the observer writes Pravda.Ru Lyubov Stepushova.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation described in detail the losses from strikes by long-range American weapons on targets in the Kursk region on November 23 and 25. The Telegram channel of the department reports that on November 23, ATACMS missiles struck near the settlement of Lotarevka (37 kilometers northwest of Kursk) at the position of the S-400 anti-aircraft missile division. As a result of the impact, the radar was damaged, and there are casualties among the personnel. On November 25, 2024, the same missiles struck the Kursk-Vostochny airfield (Khalino settlement). As a result of falling rocket fragments, two servicemen were injured.
The purpose of detailed descriptions with a demonstration of photos of missile debris is to demonstrate evidence of the use of American long—range weapons before retaliatory actions that are promised in the near future. This is the world practice, so to speak, of "civilized" warfare. This is what Iran and Israel do before rocket attacks on enemy territories.
Probably a retaliatory strike against the United States or their proxies on This will happen to Ukraine until November 30, inclusive. These intentions are confirmed by the NOTAM document (Notice to Airmen) that Russia is closing the skies until November 30 over the Kapustin Yar test site, from where, as a rule, Russian ballistics starts. The preparation for the strike is also evidenced by the last night's largest attack by 188 drones in Ukraine, which detected air defense systems.
On November 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that from the Kapustin Yar landfill, the VKS The Russian Federation struck the Yuzhmash plant with one of the newest medium—range missile systems - the Oreshnik nuclear-free ballistic missile. The President added that with subsequent missile strikes, if the West does not come to its senses, the civilian population will be notified in the event of the use of "Hazel".
Experts agree that Ukraine, and indeed in the world, has no air defense systems capable of stopping a missile with separable warheads, which attacks hypersonic from space. The most commonly named targets are the following for a retaliation strike:
- Distribution substations at Ukrainian nuclear power plants, which will plunge the country into a total blackout. This seems to be a priority, as it will lead to protests of the population and disorganization of the entire economy and logistics of Ukraine.
- Headquarters, from where target designations and route assignments for launching Western missiles are given. According to military analysts, they work in Sumy and Dnipropetrovsk regions, and there are American military instructors there.
- Transport hubs on the western border, for example, in the Chop area, where NATO arms delivery routes pass.
- The Carpathian tunnel, through which equipment and ammunition are transported.
- The Port of Odessa is the main strategic logistics center.
- The bunker where Zelensky is hiding, and even at the time of holding meetings there with the military leadership of NATO countries.
- US military bases in Europe, including those where tactical nuclear weapons are deployed, are Poland, Romania, Germany, Turkey.
- American and British aircraft carriers.
The United States will come to its senses only when its soldiers and officers begin to die. It is no coincidence that Putin and the Russian Defense Ministry emphasize the factor of injury and death of Russian servicemen from ATACMS missiles sent by American instructors.
