Yesterday Russia attacked Dnipro with X-22 cruise missile - an old but deadly Soviet-produced anti-ship missile that was made to attack big targets, like air carriers in the sea. Russians already started info operation that Ukraine's air defense is to blame. so thread. 👇
Based on my reporting, I fucking can't have even a day off. So X-22 is a very fast and deadly but not precise missile. Warhead mass 1 tonne (1000 kg, 2250 lbs) of highly efficient explosive RDX (hexogen). Russian Tu bombers carry it and shoot from the air. 👇
Simply speaking it is a heavy deadly bomb that knows how to hit only very big targets. Like a warehouse or a residential building. Ukrainian air defense claimed that it doesn't have the capabilities to shoot down X-22. But once in June, it managed to shoot down one.👇
according to the reports of the analytics, X-22 is among the deadliest Russia has. There's only a small chance to shoot it down with zenithal anti-aircraft weapons( Ukraine mostly has them) only if there's one ready to protect the target right next to target.👇
Russia has used more than 40 X-22 against Ukraine. Only one was reported to be shot down in June, pure luck I guess. Others brought numerous casualties. Before Dnipro, it was Amstor Mall in Kremenchuk. Also in the middle of the day. Also more than 20 dead and 80 wounded. 👇
After Kremenchuk there was X-22 attack on Serhiivka resort in Odesa Oblast, where 21 persons were killed, 56 wounded. Each time they used X-22 there were multiply victims and destruction. and each time they blamed Ukraine. 👇
In Kremenchuk, they couldn't blame Ukr. air defense, as there was CCTV of X-22 directly hitting the mall. So they started looking for lousy conspiracies - the mall was not the mall, it was a weapons warehouse. people on videos are all soldiers and other blah. 👇
but now as Ukraine might soon get Patriots, that can theoretically deal with X-22, they are doing this horrible thing and then using episode with Poland as an example. But. If you check the death tall and destruction in Poland and with other air defense episodes, you will see 👇
that debris cannot bring that much damage as X-22 brought in Dnipro. so why are they doing this? 👇
Because now Russians will spread info Ukraine is to blame as it hit the missile next to the residential building, bringing in an episode in Poland, as evidence that "our air defense is more dangerous than their rockets". You might soon see this somewhere on Fox. 👇
Why now? because our partners are getting faster with help. We might soon get Patriots, that theoretically can deal with X-22 and close down the issue with the deadliest rockets. 👇
I remember that last January an official from the US embassy was trying to persuade me we will never get Patriots as they are too advanced for us, and to complicated. It will take a lot of time to teach us.👇
So now, when there is news that our guys will soon start learning how to use them, Russia is doing this shit. I just wanted to help you make things clear.
on a war front Russia fights with meat waves of their own people, not counting soldiers, destroying cities in order to take them. Russia is good at mass murdering us, civilians, and of course, infowar, which affects people's minds. 👇
Russia figured out that the people of the world supported us, and forces their politicians to help Ukraine. Therefore you guys, have also become targets of their infowar. Logic of blaming the victim is an old tactic. 👇
But please remember, that nothing of that would have happened if Russia hasn't decided to attack a nearby sovereign country. and the fact they keep changing "goals" of their war, proves that it is imperialist conquest and genocide.
I don't share the sentiment that Russians are stupid. they are not. They can't fight professional armies, so they attack those, who do not have that many people and resources. and when world comes to help, they will do everything to stop this help.
and for the end. This "air defense" version was also spread by a Ukrainian hype lover, who has zero expertise, yet keeps spreading bullshit using legitimacy that the president's office once gave him, making him "an advisor" a long time ago just to give journos a talking head 👇
our president's office is not good at communications. I hope they will change.
after the backlash, Arestovych already claimed air defense could not have done such damaged. but it was too late. END
Dnipro Mayor Filatov, who just returned from the scene, confirmed version about X-22 direct hit and condemned Arestovych and those legitimising him.
Forgot one thing. Air defense shooting down Russians missile does not cause damage. Russian missiles debris do. Air defense does minimize the damage by shooting missiles as they explode in the air instead of hitting targets with all their might
The day of the attack Defense Ministry of Russia published this. Missile to me looks like one of the Xs. "We load to the maximum". 
Arestovych is getting some people's rage for sharing fake news. How is he responding? He says he is tired, as he is a super hero star helping so many. Aand reveals his source as "my friend ex-air defense fighter who thought he heard two blasts". Ffs 
After numerous comments about Arestovych starting the air defense disinfo, I checked. Telegram channels were discussing "this version" starting 7pm. Arestovych repeated after 10 pm.
