Breaking the relative media silence in Russia, Argumenty I Fakty publication carried a report on the May 22-23 Armavir attack. “Telegram channels and Ukrainian media reported two attempts to use drones to attack Russian long-range radar stations, which are part of the system for repelling a nuclear attack,” AiF writes. “Official authorities do not comment on the situation. Officials only confirm the fact that the UAV was destroyed. Experts believe that by doing so the Kyiv regime is trying to provoke Moscow into a retaliatory strike, in order to thereby start a world war or, at least, obtain permission to attack Russian regions with Western missiles.”
It then goes, quoting Rogozin to the effect that Washington “acted as the customer of the crime, hiring an irresponsible bandit” to damage the Russian missile attack warning system, a key component of the strategic nuclear forces system.
