Arrestovich will work arrest

Julia Latynina about the scandal with the resignation of adviser to the President of Zelensky

On Saturday, January 14, the heavy Russian Kh-22 cruise missile, with a combat part weighing about 960 kg, completely destroyed the entrance of the nine-story buildings in the city of Dnieper. At the time of writing this text, the death of 45 people is confirmed. This is one of the most massive murders of civilian one rocket during the war unleashed by Putin. The previous one was during the attack on the station in Kramatorsk: then 57 people killed the “Point-U”.

The X-22 is a rocket that can practically not be intercepted, and which almost guaranteed cannot be at the target.

This missile began to be developed back in the late 1960s to destroy American aircraft carriers. It is suspended under the Tu-22M strategic bomber and flies about 300 km, at a huge height of 12-22 km at a speed of 3.5 m (more than 4 thousand km/h).

Its self -confidence head is with an inertial system, which, by the time of the fly to the goal, gives a monstrous Quo (a circular probable deviation) of 300 meters. CVO 300 meters - this does not mean that the rocket deviates from the course that way. This means that 50% of missiles fit in a COO of 300 meters. And the other 50% do not fit. They can miss at least a kilometer, at least two.

In addition to the inertial system, the X-22 still has the opportunity to be applied to iron, according to a change in the magnetic field lines. That is, the idea of ​​using the X-22 is about this. The rocket flies over the ocean, flies approximately where there is an aircraft carrier group (KVO 300 meters), and is shown to the largest piece of iron. The largest piece of iron in the ocean is an aircraft carrier.

With some stretch, it can be assumed that in the Dnieper, Russian troops shot at a local thermal power plant, which is 4 km from the destroyed nine -story building. Around the thermal power plants there are really few buildings, a wasteland, and if the rocket had met in the CVO, then perhaps it would have hit.

But she did not meet. And the rocket above the city, unlike the rocket above the ocean, is introduced to any iron roof. So she got.

In general, the use of the X-22 according to the Dnieper, like the S-300 according to Kharkov, demonstrates the trend that I already mentioned. Instead of relatively accurate, but slow missiles that can be shot down and which are already in short supply, the Russian army begins to use the old missile SOR, which does not know how to aim. But he is so fast that it is impossible to knock him down. And there are a lot of it. All military sheds are scored. S-300, for example, 7 thousand pieces, and they fly at a speed of 6m.

On the same evening, when the X-22 fell at the house, the adviser to the office of President Zelensky Alexei Armorovich, commenting on the tragedy on the air with Mark Feigin, suggested that the missile was shot down by Ukrainian air defense: “She was shot down, she fell on the entrance,” said Armpeovich. Then he referred to a friend of the air defense of the Dnieper, who heard two explosions and never failed the arrest.

It was a mistake. The X-22 is almost impossible to bring down the air defense available to Ukraine (theoretically, only theoretically, it can be shot down by the S-300 or “Bucus” in oncoming courses, subject to incredible luck). And there were no two explosions. The explosion was alone. It is clearly heard on the video from the scene of the tragedy.

Arrestovich was mistaken - admitted this and apologized.

But what began behind this, plunged me into amazement. In the networks, a large -scale campaign of Bulivnovich’s persecution began, with the obvious use of bots and bottlenecks, working on unified manuals.

At one time, when in 2016, in Sochi, after take-off , the Tu-154 collapsed with the ensemble of G. Alexandrov , the Russian propagandists were immediately found and instead of the crash of the aircraft began to discuss the reaction of Bosena markets to this collapse. It was a propaganda move in order to switch the attention of the public, because the audience is arranged in such a way that its brain as a whole allows you to discuss either one topic or another. Why was this Russian propagandists - I see. But then?

In general, all this made a terrible impression: instead of writing about the horror that occurred in the Dnieper, and blaming the Russian army - the organizers of this campaign chose to write about the arrest.

It is clear that Russian propaganda took advantage of the mistake of the arrester. Well, why bring the cartridges to Russian propaganda, dispersing the mistake in social networks and making it from the mistake - an event?

Alexei Ardentovich is not the first and not the last to make mistakes during this war. On November 30, 2022, for example, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Lyaine, publicly stated that Ukraine lost 100 thousand military people killed in this war . Ms. von der Layen said this was not on the air, not from the bay-bary. She read this in the recorded appeal. That is, someone wrote it, someone checked, someone mounted, someone put it, and she herself could figure out that she was reading something wrong. Two hours after the publication, the appeal was removed, and the European Commission reported that this was a mistake. Russian media also fought in ecstasy. Well, and? Nobody shouted the “blessing”, Ursulu von der Lyeen did not drive.

The President of Zelensky, after the Ukrainian S-300 fell on the territory of Poland, said that they were Russian. This is, for a minute, Art. 5 NATO. SASUS nuclear belli. Okay, Zelensky was mistaken. And what? And nothing.

These examples are simply to remind how the error differs from the preposition for bullying, and the organizer of the bullying (I do not call it, not wanting to climb into Ukrainian politics, but everyone knows it), does not disdain to exchange the war, blood and corpses of compatriots - everything to superior to make the team of the President of Zelensky. There is no longer a Dnieper, no nine -story buildings, no Soledar, no Bakhmut - there is only one arrest.

They tried to deal with Antystvich using the same technology as with the Rain television channel. "Rain" is not my channel. I don’t look at him and they don’t invite me to him. "Rain" makes mistakes. But after one - albeit very rude during the war, mistakes - the opposition anti -war snothing “rain” in the blink of an eye turned the “channel where Crimea on the map is depicted as part of Ukraine”, and “where they collect money to help the Russian army.” The campaign was so powerful and the psyche was so sick during the war that, under the pressure of Ukrainian public opinion, were forced to join even those who were at first on the side of the rain, because Ukrainian politicians, unlike Russian, were sensitive to public opinion. With the only difference: what succeeded regarding the "rain", relative to the arresters, hit the organizers with a boomerang.

Ostenovich eventually resigned than his opponents, in my opinion, was a slot. He came out of this story a European -type politician who takes responsibility even for a small mistake, and they are cannibals who are more important to discredit the arrester than to use a blow to the Dnieper in order to knock out ATACMS or Air Defense for the Armed Forces.

Of course, he will not be lost, because Alexei Ardentovich will continue to work Alexei Armovich. From this position it cannot be fired. In this position - solo - it will be no less, if no more influential, and can even use, if he wants, this episode as part of his future presidential campaign.

But who, probably, is never mistaken in this war, is the speaker of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation Konashenkov. He had never taken his words back, had not apologized and did not resign. Not like Arrestovich.
