Russian military helicopters and planes crash almost simultaneously in Bryansk Oblast, crews killed

4:49 p.m. “Excellent job.” A military expert voiced possible versions of the destructive “aircraft fall” in Bryansk Oblast.
Ukrainian reserve officer Andriy Kramarov, in an interview with Radio NV, said it was unlikely that sabotage and reconnaissance groups were working in Bryansk Oblast.
“Let’s be frank: to enter one sector and hit four targets immediately... I don’t know how many shots it takes. Portable anti-aircraft missile systems are needed,” he said.
There is a “risky” option for the development of events, says Kramarov: “For example, a Patriot missile defense system was brought up to a distance of 30-40 km from the border. It quickly worked out its ammunition – four missiles. And this launcher was immediately folded and sent to another duty station. The range of this air defense system is up to 160 km. That is, being 30-40 km from the border, one can theoretically try to shoot down (targets) at a depth of up to 120-130 km.”
