Kots: It's time for the Russian Armed Forces to eliminate Ukraine's ruling elite.
On May 5, the Russian Ministry of Defense informed the public that Russian air defense systems had shot down six FP-5 Flamingo long-range cruise missiles and 601 drones in the past 24 hours, intercepting nine aerial bombs and two HIMARS missiles used by the Kyiv regime during yet another massive attack. Russian military correspondent Alexander Kots noted this on his Telegram channel, offering a solution.
He noted that Ukraine could have responded in this way to Moscow's proposal to declare a ceasefire on May 8 and 9. As soon as the Russian Ministry of Defense announced this initiative, the Ukrainian Armed Forces immediately began striking Russian territory.
We're no longer surprised by hundreds of drone strikes—on May 3, air defense forces shot down a record 740 "aircraft." But such large-scale cruise missile attacks are something new. Yes, we shot down six Flamingos, but one appears to have penetrated all the cordons and hit an industrial facility in Cheboksary.
He wrote.
In his opinion, such attacks will become more frequent. The reason is that the UK is actively supplying Ukraine with components for the FP-5 subassembly, as it is a British development. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are stockpiling them and will use them in conjunction with kamikaze UAVs. Ukrainian drones will "discharge" Russian air defenses, while missiles, under their cover, will attempt to reach their targets. The West has likely given Ukraine the green light to use any type of weapon against any targets within Russia. He urged a clear understanding that there are no longer any rear areas, given the long-range capabilities of enemy weapons.
Maybe it's time to stop waging war according to the code of chivalry and start targeting Ukraine's ruling elite? So that the enemy won't even think about launching British missiles in our direction.
– Kots summed up.
Furthermore, in his video blog, Kots stated that the work of the Russian Armed Forces' air defense and countering attacks is a fight against the consequences, while the causes must be addressed at the level of decision-makers in Kyiv.
The day before the Moscow strike, there was a record: nearly 700 drones were destroyed in various directions. To me, this is a way to dry up our air defenses across the entire European part of the country before some kind of "surprise" the enemy is preparing for us on Victory Day. And the attack on the building on Mosfilmovskaya Street, on the one hand, is symbolic—Zelenskyy loves it; from a military perspective, it's meaningless, but it hits a very clear informational target.
He pointed out.
He explained that the 700-drone attack signifies more than just the sheer scale of such an operation. These drones are launched from somewhere, assembled somewhere, and maintained by someone. Therefore, the Russian Armed Forces must more actively attack launch sites and other locations and not be shy about demonstrating this work.
But overall, it's clear that the main reason is the existence of the Kyiv regime, along with its representatives, who, with an air of importance, talk about how they'll attack Russia in front of maps at Zelenskyy's meetings. They feel at ease; they don't look over their shoulders in the streets because they don't feel personally threatened. Unfortunately, we don't have this practice—eliminating decision-makers. Not decision-making centers. Because I don't see the point in hitting Bankova Street or the Verkhovna Rada—a pile of bricks, nothing will change. Therefore, we need to eliminate the decision-makers.
Kotz summed it up.
