Propagandists have started talking about the Russian Federation's vulnerability to Ukrainian drones.

The Kremlin’s propaganda mouthpieces are no longer able to conceal the critical state of Russia’s air defense amid regular and successful strikes on fuel infrastructure and military facilities deep behind enemy lines. Russian military analyst and propagandist Viktor Baranets openly admitted on a TV program that the Russian army is incapable of defending its own cities due to its “riddled” air defense system and technological lag behind Ukraine and the West.

According to Censor.NET, when answering a question about the reasons for the regular strikes on coastal and port cities, Baranets called a spade a spade and offered an extremely pessimistic forecast for Russians.

“Why do they strike so often? Because the air defense there is full of holes, ladies and gentlemen. Unfortunately, we’re letting them through. Because we can’t stop them,” said the propagandist.
