Defence Express military expert Ivan Kyrychevskyi believes that what is happening is a game that doesn’t align with reality

He said this on Espreso TV.  

"It seems that if a game is happening, it doesn’t quite align with reality. For example, we were given HIMARS without being connected to the Link 16 system – that’s the integrated communication system of NATO countries. Link 16 is exactly the thing that would, in theory, allow someone in the White House to flip a switch so that HIMARS wouldn’t fire. But we don’t have such a system that the Americans could control remotely.  

The same applies to the assumptions about the radio-electronic warfare containers under F-16s, which were voiced by an author who suddenly imagined that the Russians launched an 'Oreshnik,' but it exploded in the air. How this author managed to see the Oreshnik in the air while sitting across the ocean is an open question. Clearly, the situation with F-16s is the same,” Kyrychevskyi noted.

The Defence Express military expert also analyzed the data transfer about Russian missile launches and strategic bombers.  

"We’ve already had an incident when there were reports about cutting off this data, and we had panic, thinking we wouldn’t see any strategic bombers. But night came, the Russians carried out another massive strike, and not only were our anti-aircraft units able to successfully repel the attack, but the takeoff of Russian Tu-95MS bombers from Russian airfields was also recorded. So the question arises: did the Americans really cut off anything? If this had happened not just on the level of political statements, but in actual military reality, we wouldn’t, for example, have electricity right now. So we have to separate some current military realities from what’s being thrown into the information space to unsettle everyone,” Kyrychevskyi emphasized.

  • U.S. President Donald Trump stated that neither the Ukrainian nor the Russian side "have the cards" for negotiations. He insists on "making a deal and stopping the killings".
