Russia’s military community has criticized the country’s air defense and questioned authorities’ ability to protect critical infrastructure.
The explosions at the Engels air base caused concern and criticism in the Russian information space. This was announced by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) in a report for 26 December.
It was noted that information about the incident at a military airport in the Saratov region appeared on the night of December 25-26. On Monday morning, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Russian air defense shot down a Ukrainian drone approaching Engels airfield at low altitude. As a result of falling debris, three soldiers were killed.
As ISW emphasizes, representatives of the pro-military community “took the report of the Ministry of Defense” and criticized the country’s air defense capabilities. In addition, they are not satisfied with the reaction of the authorities to information about explosions in the deep rear of the Russian Federation.
“Several Russian military bloggers have criticized the technical capabilities of Russian air defense and electronic warfare systems, and expressed concern about the inability of Russian authorities to protect critical infrastructure,” the analysts said. .
