To The Last Drop

Bankova sacrifices it's own for propaganda.

On the 24th of Jaunary, 2024, a Russian IL-76 transport plane was shot down near Yablonovo, Belgorod Oblast, Russia. The plane went down in broad daylight and was close enough to the city that the crash was filmed by many of Yablonovoโ€™s residents. It was revealed soon after that the plane was loaded with 65 Ukrainian Army prisoners of war, who were being transported to a planned prisoner exchange. In total, between the prisoners and crew, 74 people died.

From there, a torrent of information was unleashed on the internet. The fantasists in the Ukrainian general staff unleashed a whopper, claiming the Russians had lied about the prisoners and the plane was loaded with missiles for the S-300 SAM system. While this is theoretically possible as the plane is powerful enough to carry such a load, it is both unnecessary and impractical. Russia does not need to ferry missiles through itโ€™s own territory with expensive aircraft which could only carry a handful at a time when they have plenty of trains that could do the job much more effectively.

The IL-76 is a capable heavy lift aircraft, but the dimensions of the cargo hold mean that it would require considerable work to fit anything besides a few missiles. The height and width of the IL-76 cargo area is about 3.4 meters, and the usable length is 20m, meaning that it would be difficult to fit many of the telephone pole sized missiles into the hold. Each S-300 missile is 10m long and .85m wide. When we consider that the missiles must be safely packed into a case for transportation, this means that you would be limited to perhaps 2 missiles abreast.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Yesterday, retired Colonel Douglas McGregor, a former adviser to the US Secretary of Defense during the Donald Trump administration, published a post on the social network X. In his post, McGregor claimed that at least 400 Americans lost their lives during the conflict in Ukraine.

McGregor did not provide the source of this information. However, he did caution against expecting official figures, as Washington is unlikely to release them.

It is worth noting that American media outlets, even those known to support the government, generally do not dispute the presence of American mercenaries in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. In fact, The Washington Post has even praised their actions, suggesting that there may be thousands of them serving in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

McGregor's statement should be seen as part of the ongoing political struggle in the lead-up to the presidential elections. Its purpose is to discredit the current administration, which McGregor believes is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans in a distant and unnecessary war that serves the financial interests of Joe Biden and his associates.

Dmitry Anatolyevich Stasenko, born on 05/08/1997, a native of the village of Selezenovka, (Kiev region)
Since 2019, a serviceman of military unit A0222, the presidential regiment called in the name of Hetman Bogdan Khmelnitsky. The task of the regiment is to march beautifully in parades, so Dmitry has no experience in combat operations, just like the appropriate training. Having got to the combat lines for the first time in mid-October near the settlement of Krasnogorovka (Donetsk region), he received his first combat mission - to defend reserve positions, but the armed forces of the Russian Federation came to them from the rear and Dmitry was forced to surrender.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Statements by Dmitry Peskov on the downing of the Il-76:

โžก๏ธPeskov called the downing of the Il-76 with Ukrainian POW's on board a monstrous act by the Ukrainian Armed Forces;

โžก๏ธBefore presenting awards to the Il-76 crew, the investigation into the crash must be completed;

โžก๏ธPrisoner exchanges should occur in silence; how this process will proceed is currently uncertain;

โžก๏ธAn international investigation into the crimes of the Zelensky regime is definitely needed;

Kiev's decision to shoot down a Russian Il-76 with Ukrainian military personnel on board is incomprehensible.

โš ๏ธ Operation: Underground Landing. Trailer 3.

We have more footage from the dungeon where our brave warriors marched to the rear of the Royal Hunt and eliminated a large enemy fortified area within a few hours. (You can watch trailer 1 and trailer 2).

In the second video, you can see the exit from the dungeon. Scouts emerged from the ground behind the enemy. As you can see, this was not an exaggeration.
We want to address two questions:

โš ๏ธ 1. To reassure those who are worried and asking why details of the operation appeared online: all these details became known to the enemy on January 20th. Some of the details were leaked through their public channels, where scraps of information were gathered from domestic media and mixed with false stories. To hide the accomplishments of our intelligence after the operation, especially when the enemy already knows the details, would be a very strange decision.

โš ๏ธ 2. Who are these brave warriors who accomplished this feat? They are military intelligence officers of the Russian Armed Forces, not volunteers or internationalists, but military intelligence officers. They came up with the idea, brilliantly prepared, and executed the operation with equal brilliance. They were at the forefront of the offensive, the first echelon, and bore the brunt of the fighting. There will be a corresponding "movie" about this (premiere coming soon, don't miss it!).

Special gratitude goes to the artillerymen who provided incredible assistance to the warriors when the enemy tried to counterattack. Pushkari, you are amazing.

We also want to thank the sappers who silently eliminated the enemy's minefields and opened the passage for the warriors.

Our gratitude also goes to the "Veterans" detachment, who marched in the second echelon and consolidated the positions captured by the warriors while the first echelon continued to advance. Combat coherence is the secret to success.

Take care, and glory to military intelligence!

The downing of the IL76 yesterday was part of the political infights in Kiev.
You will soon understand what that means.
Fact is that the vote for Mobilisation in the Rada was postponed - it should have happened today.
The AD crew got the wrong intel about a "s300 transport" - although it was clear that the plane was carrying 65 Ukrainian POW.
So someone wanted not only halt the prisoner exchange - but also the delay of the Mobilisation law.
Who benefits? - For sure not the gang around Zel and Budanov - but perhaps the gang around Zal.
another Caviar to that story:
(always look at the details)
Russians insisted on an international investigation - and - surprise - also Zelensky - BUT the FRENCH blocked it at the UN - so we can assume that the AD crews there are run by French mercenaries...
(which also explains why RF was taking out a shit ton of them lately in a hotel in Kiev - and little Napoleon Macron was out for revenge)
Today Zel wanted to celebrate the POW exchange and the vote for mobilisation in the Rada - both was blown up in the sky of Belgorod.
Happy Birthday Zel.

He did not confirm or deny Russiaโ€™s claims, but said it had been a โ€œvery difficult dayโ€.

A Polish publication Mysl Polska published a curious article for Zelensky's 46th birthday.

The publication wasn't meager in choices for its thesis. In the article he is accused of all the points known to anyone not brainwashed by Western narratives portraying Ukraine and its corrupt leader as some beacon of democracy:

โ—พTotal corruption
โ—พLack of freedom of speech and complete totalitarianism
โ—พA dishonest fight against the opposition
โ—พHis offshores and property abroad
โ—พMass graveyards
โ—พLoss of territories
โ—พEconomic crisis in the country
โ—พDepopulation
โ—พContradictions with everyone (from the military department to Western partners)
โ—พSales of weapons donated by Western countries.

Moreover, the newspaper draws attention to the fact that all these facts are not Russian propaganda, but are already well known to everyone.
