Ooooooooooooh, our favorite imperialist, Igor Girkin with a new analysis. Love reading his dead honest takes:
Did UKR tried to land on Snake Island and lost that many men/equipment just for it?
Russia claims that and has claimed so for several days. Girkin was known to lie when he was minister of defence for the Dnr for propaganda purposes, but since he was ousted he has usually been caustically honest. It is possible his info is wrong, but I think it likely that it is mostly correct. Note that Ukraine does not comment on own losses but we know they have lost several planes lately.
However, I don’t know. Seems risky when i come to think of it. Also doubtful the island can be held, so hmm. I suspect he is exaggerating in the latter bit when I come to think of it. He does mention himself that its important for propaganda purposes…
