Once again about Crimea and "saboteurs"

On August 17, the newspaper Kommersant published an article describing the capture on the border of the Crimea of ​​Ukrainian saboteurs and the heroic death of two Russians-Colonel-Chairist and Corner-Frequency. However, this story, as well as the previously made official message of the FSB on the prevention of prepared terrorist attacks, causes some doubts.

A source of Kommersant, close to the investigation of this emergency, said that the first on the path of Ukrainian militants were employees of the operational operational support department (OSO) with the so -called double subordination - the unit was structurally included in the Office of the Central Bank of the FSB of the Russian Federation, but is in the operational subordination of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation for the Republic of Crimea. Special forces, having received operational information about the proposed raid of Ukrainian saboteurs, "taking into account the specifics of the work, went to the operation lightly, without body armor, and were armed only with machine guns and pistols."

Management “B” of the Special Purpose Center of the FSB of the Russian Federation is the famous “Vympel”, the best of the best Russian “heavy” special forces. They are also called “heavy” for the use of the most advanced (possibly on the entire planet) equipment and military uniforms necessary for maximum protection of life and health. By numerous operational shootings, it is not difficult to make sure that even for the detention of corruption officials and bloggers, these supercrowers leave only in complete uniform, which certainly includes a body armor. And in the Crimea, it turns out that some incomprehensible “specificity of the work” forced them to go to the most dangerous operation to detain armed foreign saboteurs. Not otherwise, the fault of this is the summer Crimean heat.

We move on. The problem, the source of Kommersant clarifies, arose due to the fact that during the day the border areas were patrolled by employees of the border services of the Russian Federation and police, and theoretically saboteurs could be confused with their own. Therefore, the head of the operation, Lieutenant Colonel Roman Kamenev at first shouted: “Standing, the FSB works!”, “At the same time, offering suspicious visitors to put weapons on the ground and giving the team to capture their employees. At the same time, the officer was forced to give out his shelter, and this immediately took advantage of one of the saboteurs, who opened fire from the machine gun "to the voice".

We repeat: working fighters are the elite of Russian special forces, and not pacifists prone to suicide. In combat conditions (and the invasion of foreign saboteurs is precisely combat conditions), they would first suddenly put all the “guests” face in the ground, and then they had already introduced themselves. Given the situation, “their own” would not eventually have any complaints. And all participants in the events, including Kamenev and two uninvited visitors who could give valuable readings, would remain alive. But the head of the operation, judging by the story of the source of Kommersant, was childishly substituted and received mortal injuries.

No less strange events take place further. After the night (remember, recently the source of Kommersant spoke of daytime patrols?) Special operations, all day on August 7, law enforcement officers and security forces from different departments conducted large -scale search activities throughout the northern part of Crimea. The second group of saboteurs was found only by 23 hours on the very border with Ukraine, in a swampy area near the Gulf of Sivash. In a word, after the shooting saboteurs of the Senior FSB officer, all the security forces who were nearby comb the area, but they cannot find the enemy all day.

Now imagine what area we are talking about. The border between Crimea and Ukraine passes along the Perekop Isthmus. This is a strip of land, the width of which in the narrowest place is approximately 7 km. In the spring of 2014, solid forces were pulled there, consisting of both the fighters of the Ukrainian special forces “Berkut” and Russian troops overlooking Russia. In this area, under the vigilant observation of patrols with dogs and technical means - drones, signal mines, movement detectors, etc. - every centimeter of the surface is located.

And then the paratrooper on duty found suspicious people with machine guns, which he reported by the radio to fellow soldiers a hundred meters. “A few seconds later, the so-called combat calculation of amplification rose in full force, which included the BMD driver 22-year-old corporal Semen Sychev ... The paratroopers tried to shouts to stop the people who appeared from the floodplains, but they rushed back into the thicket of reeds and, hiding in them, opened fire from machine guns.”

Yes, probably, paratroopers may not have the experience and qualifications of the "heavy" FSBLIA special forces. But, nevertheless, I would like to believe that they are not gaining clinical idiots in the Airborne Forces, who, knowing about the battle that occurred on the same day and seeing people crawling out of the swamp, would begin to stop them with screams. As a result, one of the Russian military stumbled, rolled down the slope and received a fatal line. And the colleagues who saw all this gave all the saboteurs without exception to calmly get out. “The Russian paratroopers did not dare to shoot at them for defeat, because the gardens of the country partnership were located right behind the Kamysh strip, and bullets could get into the houses of Ukrainian gardeners,” the newspaper explained to her readers.

I would like to add that in the official statement of the FSB these events are described as follows: “On the night of August 8, 2016, special forces of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine made two more attempts to break through sabotage and terrorist groups that were prevented by the power units of the FSB of Russia and the interacting departments. Attempts to break through were covered by massive shelling from the adjacent state and armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. During the fire contact, a soldier of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation died. ”

Massive shelling, armored vehicles, dead Chekists and military personnel - this is not a breakthrough of saboteurs. This is the probable beginning of hostilities. In this case, the indecision caused by the fear of getting into the houses of gardeners is incredible negligence. And a normal reaction to such a provocation, with the greatest probability, would be a response of artillery fire and the destruction of all living things in the border areas.

There are many suspicious moments in the story told. First, the Crimean security forces receive orientation on the search for armed people in the military form of the Russian Federation. Then, after the emergence of numerous stories of the local population about the shooting of the Russian security forces in social networks and the subsequent desertion of four soldiers, the Internet is turned off in the entire Northern Crimea. At the same time, the President of Russia announces the disruption of international negotiations on reconciliation in the Donbass and calls the leadership of Ukraine people who, having seized power in Kyiv, continue to rob their own people.

At the same time, the FSB declares one of the goals of saboteurs the Krymsky Titan plant, located literally a few kilometers from the border of the peninsula with the mainland. Many sources are sure: this is a very dangerous chemical production to this day belongs to the Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash. Among its products are titanium dioxide, mineral fertilizers, sulfuric acid, aluminum sulfate and other extremely toxic substances. When they get into the environment, not only Crimean land will be poisoned (which, recall, Kyiv considers its own) and the water of the Sea of ​​Azov, but, with a high probability, a considerable part of today's southern Ukraine.

And why, at all, to some saboteurs after the first group entered into a clash and was actually destroyed, with a huge risk of trying to break through the enemy’s forehead?

Nevertheless, another version looks much more convincing - about the internal disassembly of the Russian military, which ended with a shootout. The showdown that they tried to camouflaged with the story with the "Ukrainian breakthrough." Then attempts to seem suicidally screaming in the darkness and today's absence of suspects in the murders (soon they will probably be “appointed”) are also clear. But the fact that it was their dezer soldiers who, after shooting, decided to get away from persecution across the border is just understandable.

If, God forbid, in this version there is at least a small fraction of the truth, then the question arises: what level of Russian government did the misinformation fabricated “on Earth”, which could well become the reason for the war? And whether the resignation of the head of the Main Directorate of Military Police, Major General Igor Sitorkevich, was connected with this suspicious history, which was reported on August 14 without comment regarding its reasons. But the responsibilities of this particular structure include ensuring order in the troops.
