MOSCOW: 12 Putin officers killed in an attack on a command post as "Vladimir is furious over the failure of his S-400 defense system," while US-supplied HIMARS missiles cause serious casualties. A command post at Chornobyevka airport, close to the southern city of Kherson, was the target of the attack, which is believed to have killed at least one general and one colonel. It is believed that US HIMARS rockets were used in the strike
Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov revealed that President Zelensky had instructed his generals to prepare a plan of attack and a list of equipment needed to carry them out.
Reznikov claims that after that, his job will be to contact Ukraine's Western allies and argue for the transfer of weapons, as he did with Himars.
"He said that we have a real sense of justice and freedom because we are citizens of the free world."
The most recent HIMARS attack occurred at Chornobaevka Airport, a strategic airfield in southern Ukraine that was taken over by Russia early in the conflict and is now used by the Russian military.
This is not the first time that the airstrip has been the target of Ukrainian attacks; At the start of the conflict, a series of bombings killed many of Putin's soldiers and destroyed dozens of helicopters.
However, as the border moved further west, Kyiv's troops lost sight of the airfield. With the arrival of American rocket systems, it can be targeted again. The airfield is close to Kherson, which will serve as the focal point of Ukraine's retaliation as it is the only regional capital for Putin's military.
According to one report, Putin isin full of anger that the ineffectiveness of the acclaimed S-400 missile defense system in the conflict has resulted in him seeking scapegoats and betraying his own allies.
The S-400 development budget was successfully stolen, and the technical capabilities of the major air defense system were often exaggerated. This lie first surfaced when S-400s failed to shoot down a single HIMARS missile in the Donbass or Zaporizhzhya. and the Kherson region. Additionally, HIMARS missiles destroyed the S-400 complex, which was intended to protect the area from air attacks during an attack on a military base in Ilovsk.
Mikhail Fradkov, a former prime minister and Putin's longest-serving SVR foreign intelligence spy chief, who currently serves as chairman of the Almaz-board, may be fired for Ente's mistakes. can even be prosecuted.
