Constant explosions at military

facilities

in the rear areas of Russia show the ineffectiveness of its air defense and also increase criticism of the authorities that it is unable to protect its territory.

This is stated in the

message

of the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

Experts noted that in the last three days there have already been two incidents with explosions at the Russian airbase in Engels.

"The British Ministry of Defense has said that it is becoming 'increasingly apparent' how Russia is unable to counter air threats deep inside [its territory]," ISW said.

The institute noted that such failures could increase criticism of Russia's leadership from the pro-war community.

Also, many Russian media bloggers are already questioning the veracity of the reports of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and ridiculing the authorities.

"They joke that an undetected pilot landing on Red Square (referring to Matthias Rust's flight from Helsinki to Moscow in 1987) will surely provoke a response longer than one sentence from the Russian government," added the Institute for the Study of War.

We will remind, earlier it was reported that three technicians of the engineering and aviation service of the Tu-160 air squadron of the heavy bomber air regiment of the Russian Federation,

which struck peaceful cities of Ukraine

, were buried in the Russian city of Engels .

In addition, we previously reported that military expert Oleg Zhdanov explained

how the Engels airfield functions without a control point

.
