Political Analyst On UAVs In Minsk: Stirlitz Has Never Been So Close To Failure

The least likely thing that happened was a Ukrainian drone carrying TNT.

In the Minsk neighborhood of Dombrovka a drone crashed. On the night of July 29, it crashed into an apartment building but did not explode, although the Investigative Committee claims it was equipped with a TNT-based explosive device.

Politologist Anatoly Kotov in an interview with "Filin" commented on the incident:

- The least thing that happened looks like a Ukrainian drone with TNT, - Anatoly Kotov commented on the incident in Minsk yard. - In my opinion, it looks more like a provocation.

First of all, drones with TNT explode, and do not look like a big firecracker.

Secondly, the Ukrainian drones are most likely written in Ukrainian, not translated through Google Translate.

In my opinion, someone just really needed to show that such a thing could happen right in Minsk. Everything was done on the eve of the meeting between Lukashenko and Putin.

And it was hardly a serious threat to citizens, despite the fact that the alleged drone fell in a residential area. That is why it was not a drone with TNT!

Unfortunately, we can all well imagine how drones explode or their wreckage falls, having watched the footage from Kiev, Odessa, Kharkov.

There, apartments and entrances are blown up - the consequences are much more serious, even if it is a downed drone with an explosive substance.

And what we were shown, emphasizing the strange inscriptions, still looks like a provocation.

But not to frighten people. But to, as he said, prepare the ground for the upcoming meeting between Putin and Lukashenko.

Most likely, it was meant to show that Belarus is also under threat, that it is here defending itself from Ukrainian drones and at the same time defending Russia by shooting down drones over its cities.

And the main thing follows from that: give us money to defend ourselves even more effectively, because the threat is real.

- However, even if the drone is not real, human rights activists have reported about real detentions of people in the epicenter.

-There, by the way, the fact that the neighborhood did not wake up from the flight of the alleged drone looks as strange as possible. But it is a very loud lawnmower with a characteristic sound. And almost no one heard anything, there is a large number of eyewitnesses, who should have at least woken up from a specific and very unpleasant sound.

It's clear that Minsk is not Kiev or Lviv, and people there don't know at what sounds one should immediately seek shelter. But there is no reason to say that many people heard something alarming.

All such provocations are within the meme "Stirlitz has never been so close to failure".

People were detained around just so that no witness testimony with someone's conclusions, which would cast doubt on the official version, would appear.

That is, this is a desire to intimidate, but not by a conditional shahid, but for the transfer of real data about the event.

- In any case, no one will deny that the REB systems on both sides are becoming more advanced, drones have already flown into Belarus many times and, obviously, will continue to do so.

- Absolutely. REB systems are becoming more advanced, by the way, and drones are becoming more technological.

- Nevertheless, as long as the Russian-Ukrainian war is going on, in which Belarus is also involved, it is under the threat of something flying in.

- And the fact that nothing serious is not flying in now is ensured not by reliable air defense systems, but by a certain consensus with the Ukrainian side.

But we all know that the crossing of some red lines, more serious support for Russia, and the provision of our country's territory for missile strikes will abolish all immunity and remove any ephemeral protection.

In my opinion, not only missiles, but also the construction of some kind of factory for the production of attack drones could be considered a violation of this status quo.
