Russian propagandists, citing their sources, said that the air defense is now under Sergei Surovikin.
The air defense (air defense) of the Russian Federation was removed from the subordination of the ground forces and reassigned to the Russian aerospace forces, now headed by General Sergei Surovikin. Russian propaganda news agency TASS reported this, citing sources close to the Russian Defense Ministry, on Monday, February 27.
The Russian Aerospace Forces include air and missile defense troops. At the same time, the military air defense of the ground forces differs from them because it is intended to accompany and cover the units during the battle.
Surovikin has headed the VKS command since October 2017.
It should be noted that in October 2022 he was appointed to command a group of Russian troops in Ukraine.
Many experts have linked the fact that the Russian army began mass shelling of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure with the appointment of Surovikin.
It is noteworthy that under Surovikin the Russian invaders were forced to hastily retreat from Kherson and the right bank of this region.
Shortly after the retreat of the Russian invaders from the right bank of the Kherson region, Gerasimov replaced Surovikin in this position.
