Try to hide fear: the Ministry of Defense responded to the statement of the Russian Federation about the "destruction"
The official also indicated that in addition to the "destruction" of the American Patriot, Russian information resources write about the alleged defeat of 2 Iris-T units. According to Anna Malyar, so the Russians try to hide the fact that in fact in Moscow they fear the future counter -offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The painter also added that a constant information background for promoting narratives on the power of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is to cover the situation in the Bakhmut area and other Ukrainian cities for which the fighting is. "Manipulations in the information space are aimed at creating a mythical image of the invincibility of the Russian superpower and intimidation of the international and Ukrainian community," said Malyar.
It should be reminded that the press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation officially reported that on the night of May 16 the missile system "Dagious" was destroyed by the American anti-aircraft missile complex Patriot, which was located in Kiev.
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry ridiculed the Russian defense department after explanations of the missile shelling of Ukraine on May 16 and even named the press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation more influential than in the armies of other countries. The White House did not confirm information about possible damage to the American advanced Patriot system in Kiev.
