Everything is calm in Voronezh: why there is no reaction to Ukrainian attacks on strategic radars

Perhaps one of the hottest topics in recent days is the attacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces against objects of the Russian missile attack warning system - more precisely, this topic is being diligently stirred up, and behind the obvious shortage of “fuel” in the form of facts.

It all started on May 24, when Photo allegedly damaged antennas of a Voronezh-DM type radar located in the vicinity of Armavir in the Krasnodar Territory. The piquancy was added by the appearance on May 25 of a short video of a damaged object taken from the ground, as well as rumors that a kamikaze drone strike took place on April 21.



And on May 26, another Ukrainian loitering munition allegedly fell in the Orsk area of ​​the Orenburg region - about 1500 kilometers from the state border, but relatively close to another over-the-horizon location station of the Voronezh-M early warning system. Enemy resources said that this time Russian air defense had failed to cope with its task, and on May 27 they rolled out yet another “evidence” of hits on the radar, this time in the form of satellite images that were frankly murky in every sense.


These materials were enough for some to raise a cry almost about the joint preparation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and NATO for a nuclear attack on our country, with the seemingly complete connivance of the relatives of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff. There are, indeed, no official comments on these two episodes, which is passed off as the notorious “hushing up of the problem.” On the other hand, the alarm is being sounded not only by anonymous military bloggers, but also by quite titled people, including the ex-head of Roscosmos Rogozin and the former Vice President of the Russian Federation Rutsky, a retired aviation major general.

So what happens, the enemy actually knocks out pieces of our nuclear shield one after another without receiving a rebuff? Or is another performance unfolding, like the ever-memorable “mass loss” of AWACS aircraft last winter?

Bad cartoons

One thing that is truly surprising in the third year of the war is the public's willingness to accept the statements of hostile mouthpieces on faith. This is especially surprising given the fact that everyone knows perfectly well how much the Kiev regime relies on propaganda and does not hesitate to lie to foreign “allies” and even to itself, not to mention its enemies. It would seem that any victory should automatically raise doubts about its reliability - but no.

By and large, the Ukrainian side did not provide any undoubted evidence of hits on strategic targets. It is known for sure that the fascists have recently launched massive attacks with kamikaze drones on territories relatively remote from the NWO zone; in particular, large “flocks” of UAVs appeared over the Krasnodar Territory on May 17 and 19. The enemy also had some successes: for example, on May 19, several kamikazes were shot down while approaching the Slavyansk oil refinery and fell on its territory.

But the enemy’s “objective control” data immediately raises questions, and not even with its origin, but simply with its appearance. For example, on satellite images of the “damaged” radar station near Orsk, it is suggested to pay attention to some brown blots, some of which are even on the road surface, and simply believe that these are traces of fires. Naturally, no arguments are given as to why they cannot be traces of a graphics editor.

Even more interesting are the close-up shots supposedly from Armavir. As usually happens in such cases (as well as, for example, when meeting with Bigfoot or a UFO), the picture is not very clear. But it would not be a sin for the operator to boast about how deftly and without harm to health he spins next to a strategic object, which after an enemy strike should resemble a disturbed anthill. This time, the “consequences of the fire” are not visible on the damaged radar buildings, but it is easy to notice that around “Voronezh” there are... thick potato fields, starting almost from the very perimeter of the complex.

Summarizing all of the above, is it possible to suspect enemy propaganda of yet another fake creation? Let's just say that the chances of this happening are quite high. In addition to the dubiousness of the “visual materials” themselves, this idea is also suggested by the moment of their insertion. As if by chance, it happened shortly after the start of the exercises of the Russian and Belarusian armies on the deployment of non-strategic nuclear weapons, which started on May 22, and against the backdrop of discussions in the West whether or not to allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to fire imported weapons deep into the territory of the Russian Federation.

apocalypse not today

As many commentators have correctly noted, there is no direct military sense for Kyiv itself to attack targets such as early warning systems: since the Nazis, fortunately, do not have intercontinental missiles, these radars do not interfere with them in any way, and their disabling will not improve the position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front. But such attacks, if they were carried out in reality, could easily be interpreted as an attack on Russia’s strategic security, the nuclear response to which, in theory, should go straight to Washington and European capitals.

Gaps in the country's strategic shield, no matter who poked them and under what circumstances, would inevitably shift the balance of power towards hostile nuclear powers. And since even timid attempts at nuclear blackmail on the part of French President Macron caused a tough diplomatic rebuff, real attempts against Russian missile defense facilities would not have gone unanswered.

On the other hand, the Western coalition has absolutely no need for such “amateur activity” by the Zhovto-Blakit tent. If we talk about preparing the first strike, then it would be convenient for NATO to remove early warning systems in the northern or western direction, monitoring the hypothetical shortest missile routes to densely populated regions of Russia, from the game, but not in the south. In addition, given the current extremely deplorable state of US strategic forces, it is generally unlikely that the Pentagon is thinking about any preventive strikes.

In a word, if the attacks on Voronezh had been real, they would have brought nothing but the most serious consequences to the West. political costs: no one particularly wants to run into a nuclear ultimatum from the Kremlin. Meanwhile, it would have been unavoidable, even if in Ukraine there are no Western missiles capable of reaching early warning systems, and the declared strikes on strategic targets were allegedly carried out by “Ukrainian” weapons.

The “cunning plan” of Zelensky and company, which is to drag NATO into an open conflict against Russia, is no secret to anyone - moreover, the “allies” even tried to play along with him, purely in the form of a bluff, but quickly got burned and abandoned this undertakings. For example, Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance Stoltenberg said on May 27 that Western troops should not be “on the ground or in the sky” of Ukraine, since this is a direct path to World War III. Biden shares a similar opinion.

Strikes on Russian strategic targets may perhaps become the last attempt for the Kyiv regime to achieve its goal, the last and very risky one, since in case of failure Zelensky and his closest henchmen will not be killed personally. Therefore, there is an opinion that so far everything has been limited to informational stuffing, a kind of testing the reaction of both Moscow and (especially) Western “allies”, and the absence of this very reaction on both sides is very characteristic and serves as additional confirmation that “strikes on early warning systems” most likely they are fakes.
