and Update

Andrey Gurulev, Lieutenant General: Israeli bombings have no effect militarily. Armed people in Palestine are in shelters, civilians are dying in residential buildings. We went through this in Syria, when in Damascus, for example, they sit in underground tunnels and come out only when necessary. Hamas prepared 100%, it was not without reason that they did this, they have reserves of weapons and food. Israel strikes, destroy buildings, Hamas can immediately mine it carefully, it will be a good fortified area, ideal. The Israelis are shown in columns on tanks, on infantry fighting vehicles, what are they waiting for? Waiting for drones to fly over them? We went through this during a special military operation. Tanks in urban areas are practically ineffective. The main thing here is the action of the assault troops. What is this? Remember how they took Artemovsk (Bakhmut). Remember what losses there were. Something similar awaits the Israelis; it won’t work out otherwise here. If we look more broadly, the Americans are trying to drag the Middle East into war; apparently, they decided not to stand ceremoniously with Israel; in this case, the damage to Israel would be unacceptable. When they say that today some missiles were brought into Iran, I assure you such statements are a fallacy, because in military everything planned long ago, determined all the targets. The visit of our leader Vladimir Putin to China, the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the DPRK (North Korea), the president’s visit to our command post in Rostov,- are synchronized events. The President heard the report of the Chief of the General Staff, probably the district commanders, personally listened to the reports in order to understand what problems there are and ways to solve them. I think the main topic was the presence of two aircraft carrier groups in the Mediterranean. On board these ships, according to my calculations, there are approximately 750-800 Tomahawk missiles, which cover a decent amount of the territory of the Russian Federation. That’s a decent amount of power. Our President immediately decided to put the Mig-31 with Kinzhal missiles on combat duty. For some reason, everyone imagines that one plane with one Kinzhal will fly somewhere, will fly along the Black Sea, but everything is much more global. Firstly, this is the use of all reconnaissance systems linked into a single information system with the issuance of specific target instructions to control points. If an aircraft enters the airspace of the Black Sea, then it must have a support echelon protecting it from enemy air attacks, air defense systems, and everything else. This is a global set of measures to deter the American aggressor from thinking of attacking the territory of the Russian Federation. In front of us are two aircraft carrier groups, equipped to the teeth, capable of hitting targets on the territory of our country, should we just stand there and pick our noses? We must react normally. Yes, the Kinzhal missile itself is extremely effective, capable of hitting any US warship, that’s true. If the entire Middle East is drawn into the war, aircraft carrier groups try to strike the territory of Iran, then Iran will not remain silent, they have targets ready, all critical objects, they will attack them in different ways, despite the Iron Dome and everything else. Drones and missiles from Yemen are not a provocation, but reconnaissance in force, revealing the ability of an aircraft carrier strike group to destroy an entire aircraft. They will see what happened, how and what. The SMO taught that you can shoot down 10 UAVs, you can shoot down 20, but when 100 are flying, then even modern systems are not able to resist. Therefore, America is hiding an aircraft carrier group behind Cyprus. 1/2
