AFU Colonel On Lukashenka's Words About 'Machulishchy': He Forgot 'Mossad'

Belarusian propaganda works using the Soviet methodology.
Back on February 26, there were explosions at the Machulishchy military airfield near Minsk. As a result, a Russian A-50U reconnaissance aircraft, which was coordinating cruise missile launches against Ukraine, was damaged.
Today Lukashenka has announced that a man who was allegedly involved in the Machulishchy explosions has been detained. He was allegedly supervised by the Security Service of Ukraine and the CIA. The Charter97.org website asked the Ukrainian military expert, reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Serhiy Grabsky to comment on the statement of the Belarusian dictator.
- He forgot about the Mossad, the South American, Romanian, Polish intelligence and a dozen others. The answer is simple - it's year 37 in Belarus. A man confesses to all his sins and to working for two dozen intelligence agencies. It's very easy to make anybody guilty. Any person who, for example, looked at a passing policeman cross-eyed can be guilty. The rest is a matter of technique.
What is surprising is why it took so long to find him. They were supposed to detain him within 24 hours to demonstrate the "effectiveness".
- What can you say about the reaction of the Belarusian propaganda to the explosions in Machulishchy: at first it was total silence, then denial and attempts to show that everything was all right with the plane, now they have found the "saboteur" and say that there was an attack after all.
- This all fits into the concept of the basics of Soviet propaganda. Silencing, denial and then demonstration of "effective" work of relevant bodies. We have not seen anything new. It's as if time has stopped in Belarus and is not moving anywhere. Open any post from the Soviet times and it will be approximately the same.
When the state does not have democratic foundations, it can only act by these methods. Everything is absolutely predictable.
- The A-5OU airborne early warning aircraft has flown from Machulishchy to Taganrog for repairs. The Russians have not sent anything in return. Why?
- Firstly, the Russians do not have many such planes. If I am not mistaken, for 30 years Russia has managed to make as many as six "U" planes. They understand that such machines are in the danger zone in Belarus and there is a certain risk that other planes can be damaged as well.
One has to understand that these aircraft cover the entire directions. It is very risky now to subject to attack other strategically important directions for the Russian Federation.
They will try to repair this A-50U airborne early warning aircraft from Machulishchy promptly. I will say that its task was rather limited. It did not coordinate strikes, but only monitored the activity of Ukraine's air defence systems and provided information about the positions of Ukrainian radar stations. So for now, the Russians will either try to manage with some tactical means, or there will be no activity in this direction for the time being.
