Sergei Shoigu: The enemy did not hit the targets in any direction Daily News

According to Shoigu, this is mainly due to the armed forces personnel showing loyalty to the oath and military duty. “The provocation did not affect the actions of the troop groups. The military bravely and selflessly continued to solve the tasks assigned to them. I thank the personnel for their conscientious service,” said the head of the Ministry of defense.

He analyzed the situation in the area of ​​special military operations. Shoigu noted that our armed forces continue to inflict effective fire damage on the enemy, which greatly reduces its offensive potential.

Only in the South-Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk directions, where Ukrainian formations are undertaking unsuccessful attacks, Russian groups destroyed 15 planes, three helicopters, 920 armored vehicles, including 16 Leopard tanks. “It’s almost 100% of the tanks of this type supplied by Poland and Portugal”, underlined the minister.

Shoigu announced the latest data on the casualties of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They are undeniably huge. In total, since June 4, Ukrainian troops have lost about 2.5 thousand units of various weapons in all directions.
Also in the past month, our air defense units have intercepted 158 HIMARS rockets, 25 Storm Shadow cruise missiles and 386 unmanned aerial vehicles.

“In general, the enemy did not achieve its objectives in any direction. This testifies to the skill of our fighters and clearly inflated expectations of the vaunted Western weapons,” the minister concluded. defense.

At the same time, he noted: regardless of the heavy losses, the Ukrainian leadership, at the insistence of Western conservatives, demands the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to continue the offensive. At the same time, Kyiv is trying to compensate for its inability to achieve success on the ground with terrorist bombings of civilian targets and thereby achieve propaganda effect. However, thanks to the professional actions of our military, it is possible to minimize casualties among the civilian population and save hundreds of lives.

At the meeting, they also discussed the implementation by the Taganrog Aviation Scientific-Technical Complex named after GM Beriev of a state contract for the repair and modernization of the A-50 aircraft . Shoigu recalled that such flying radars are used in a special military operation. And the timely modernization of the fleet of these air complexes, according to the minister, “will significantly increase the effectiveness of troop groups in solving the tasks facing them.”

Since June 4, Ukrainian troops have lost about 2,500 weapons in all directions. 25 Storm Shadow cruise missiles were intercepted

Another issue that Shoigu discussed with the generals was related to the combat training of newly formed military units. In accordance with the decree of the President of the Russian Federation, we are talking about increasing the numbers of the armed forces. As part of this work, the governing bodies of the Moscow and Leningrad military districts are being created, a combined arms army and an army corps are being formed.

“At present, along with the recruitment of personnel, a planned supply of weapons, military and special equipment is underway, military personnel are being trained, and units are being coordinated,” the minister said.

Meanwhile, on Monday it became known about the resumption of transport links between Crimea and the Kherson region. This became possible after the recommissioning of the Chongar automobile bridge, which was attacked by Ukrainian nationalists on June 22 with Storm Shadow missiles.

“The shortest and most convenient transport corridor, where the recently repaired section of the federal highway passes, works as before,” regional government chairman Andrey Alekseenko told TASS on Monday.

He thanked the builders for the efficient and high-quality work. And he separately expressed his gratitude to the Ministry of Construction of Russia, where they organized the restoration of the Chongarsky Bridge.
