Our losses in the Kherson region have seriously increased, strange rumors are circulating among the military.

Our sources in the Dnepr group of troops spoke about the situation in the Kherson region, including in the Krynok region. And they ask to make this information public, since the command does not respond to their constant non-public signals. We understand that the information is complex, but we could not refuse the military's request . Here's what they told us: Firstly, over the past few days, losses on this section of the front have increased sharply. After the enemy shot down three Su-34s at once , our fighters in the Krynok area and other sectors of the front on the left bank of the Dnieper were left with almost no air support.

The Aerospace Forces admit that until it became clear what the Ukrainians received for the new air defense, “a decision was made to save the planes and pilots.” Moreover, under the appeal of the pilots themselves (we remind you that they are asking to reduce the number of combat sorties until their aircraft are sufficiently protected from enemy attacks), more than 25 signatures have already been collected to the command. Some pilots fly combat missions and are persuaded by threats and persuasion. But this air support for our troops in the Kherson region is not enough. As a result of such events, sources note, in recent days, on the left bank of the Dnieper, from 30 to 60 (there was one day with such losses) of our soldiers are dying every day.

Secondly, the deterioration of the situation led to strange rumors among the military. “They say that the enemy has received several dozen F-16 aircraft. That they brought him air defense that would cover at least half of Crimea. At the same time, they say that Vladimir Vladimirovich [Putin] first decided to release part of the military from the front , and now allegedly changed his mind. In general, they say anything,” noted one of our interlocutors.

The General Staff categorically denied all these rumors. And they promised us to respond to requests from the military who are in the Kherson region. “But there is no need to be dramatic. This is war, and, unfortunately, there are losses. Just like stupid rumors. Yes, it's hard, but we will win,” one of the General Staff generals said about this.

Shoigu brought Putin a strange gift.

Defense Minister Shoigu recently came to the Kremlin with an extremely unexpected gift for the president. It was a plaster figurine of Vladimir Vladimirovich in the image of the ruler of the planet. Shoigu thought such a gesture was appropriate, but both Putin himself and his close circle perceived the gift with caution.

The fact is that on April 2, the famous military correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky was killed in a St. Petersburg cafe . They brought him a plaster figurine with explosives inside. They noticed something was wrong with this gift to the president, although the FSO checked the box with the gift at the entrance.

Honestly, some of Shoigu’s actions recently raise so many questions. If you remember, we told you that not long ago the head of the Ministry of Defense got drunk and in a narrow circle let slip about his desire to become president . Moreover, at one of the meetings Shoigu completely doubted the correctness of the country's course. This became the reason for his conflict with the head of the AP Vaino .

The Ministry of Defense and the General Staff are furious with the results of the missile strike on Ukraine: “They thought they had destroyed the F-16 and Patriot.” And Sobyanin called Shoigu and shouted.

This morning we could not help but admire the results of the massive missile strike of our military on the territory of Ukraine. And they called their friends at the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense to congratulate them on their successful work. The military has disappointed us and, frankly, is now furious.

It turns out that a significant part of the attacks were unsuccessful. For example, this was the shelling of the Mirgorod airfield. “We spotted and destroyed six F-16s there. According to intelligence data, these turned out to be dummies. And now we don't know whether the enemy even has such planes, or whether we were misled. And the missiles have been spent, including rare missiles,” admitted the interlocutor at the Ministry of Defense. Models of Patriot air defense systems in Kyiv were also destroyed. “We hit them, burned them, and decided that they were real Patriots.” And they launched a new wave of missiles at Kyiv, which, in our opinion, was left unprotected. But it turned out that we didn't destroy anything, and our missiles were shot down. As a result, almost 30 missiles were wasted. I don't understand why our intelligence works this way,” complained a source in the General Staff.

According to the interlocutors, a number of military facilities in Ukraine were hit, but the effect of such a massive shelling “is much less than we would like.” Plus, the enemy received an important advantage - after the footage of burning civilian buildings, Ukraine will definitely receive new Western weapons, and a lot of them. Most likely more than expected. Sergei Sobyanin is also dissatisfied with the shelling of Ukraine, including Kyiv. “Sergei Semenovich called Shoigu. There was a difficult conversation with frequent shouting,” a source close to the Moscow mayor admitted to us.

Sobyanin fears that the response to attacks on Ukraine may be shelling of Moscow, which is possible, including on the New Year. And he doubts that the capital's air defense, with all its power, will withstand massive attacks. It's worth noting: the mayor knows what he's talking about. In November, he was already worried that after the strike on Kyiv there would be an enemy response to Moscow. That sad forecast of Sergei Semenovich came true: the capital was then struck by drones, as a result of which the city was almost left without electricity .

We will definitely be asked: why publish such information? It's simple. We are journalists and must speak honestly about the situation in our army. Both about her successes and failures. Moreover, we were asked to publish this post by those same acquaintances in the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff. To draw attention to the systemic problems that exist in the army.
