"What is he smoking?" Shoigu says that Russian air defense destroyed 1.4 thousand attack vehicles of the Armed Forces and raved about F-16: even Russians ridiculed him

Russia has once again begun to fantasize about the outstanding "successes" of the Russian army in the war against Ukraine. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that over the past month, Russian air defense allegedly destroyed "more than 1,400 enemy attack vehicles," including "37 aircraft and 6 ATACMS missiles."

The representative of the aggressor state also suddenly mentioned the F-16 fighter jets promised to Ukraine by its Western partners: according to Shoigu, the occupiers intend to destroy them "in about 20 days." The Russian official's enchanting statements are quoted by Russian propagandists.

Thus, after "destroying" about 25 Ukrainian aircraft "in five days" in his previous speech, Shoigu went further and said that in just one month, Russian air defense systems allegedly destroyed "more than 1,400 enemy attack vehicles."

This, according to Shoigu, includes "37 Ukrainian aircraft" (some propagandists write about 34 aircraft). He also easily and naturally "destroyed" six ATACMS missiles, which cause serious losses to the occupiers from the very first launch.

"Russian troops in the Joint Forces Operation zone in Ukraine are actively defending themselves, advancing, and Ukraine is being defeated," Shoigu said, as usual.

In addition, he decided to get "creative" and said that "the F-16s promised to Ukraine will last for about 20 days," saying that in that period of time Russian troops will destroy them all.

Such brilliant "victories" have caused some skepticism among Russians. In the comments to the news about Shoigu's statements in one of the popular z-publics, they demanded "proof" and speculated about the effects of psychotropic substances that could trigger such a flight of fancy.

"34 planes were shot down... Sergei Kozhugetovich, we need a proof", "He smokes something, no?", "Tomorrow he will say that our tanks have already crossed the Pacific Ocean and surrounded the Capitol", "And does anyone believe this?", "His job is to attack and win! That's what he says", "Only 10 missiles were shot down over Crimea yesterday, and only 6 here", "How many planes do they have?", "Balabol!", "Shoigu!" We need more airplanes!", "Tuva tziyirk! We can do miracles!", "In these two years, all the planes of Europe and the United States combined have been destroyed according to reports in quantitative terms))) Konashenkov, rest", "70,000 tanks destroyed, 8 million AFUs destroyed, Israel's nuclear center destroyed, 600 US bases destroyed, Budanov shot down on a broomstick", commentators mock Shoigu.

The comments also advise Shoigu to lie less.

"Like at the beginning of the SVO, everything is according to plan. Now he is feeding us with airplanes. I just don't believe this man", "How long can you lie? We have been winning for 1.5 years, and Donetsk has been under fire for as long as it has been!", "Restore order at the command posts". Ban far-fetched flattering reports. Organize a list check of false operational reports, etc. How long can you go up the ladder and be a fake?", "Shoigu has already zeroed out all NATO aviation, a little more and he will start shooting down UFOs," "Shoigu the clown, when will they remove him and put a real commander in charge, he has ruined so many lives of our guys, f*k," Russians are outraged.

As a reminder, on October 25, Shoigu announced the destruction of 24 Ukrainian Armed Forces aircraft with the help of "special complexes." This "weapon that has no analogues" allegedly shot down so many aircraft in five days.

At that time, the "Tuvan general" was already being laughed at and accused of lying.

Similarly, the Russian Defense Ministry was subjected to a barrage of ridicule and mockery after it boasted of shooting down ATACMS.
