“You can't relax and underestimate the enemy”
The escalation of the military situation in Donbas in recent days has much to do with the 44-day war in Karabakh, which ended last year with the complete defeat of Armenian troops. .. This is what a military expert, political scientist Semyon Bagdasarov, thinks. In his opinion, it is dangerous for the LDNR militia to underestimate the armed forces of Ukraine.

“ Ukraine is actively rearmed, it has found allies and sponsors from among our enemies, & # 39; & # 39; wrote Bagdasarov on his Telegram channel. – You can't relax and think – we won once, we will win now. It is clear that in the wars of the 21st century, those who are well-armed have an advantage. & # 39; & # 39; in Donbass.
Bagdasarov noted that in Donbas “ there are no executive engineering structures on the contact line. & # 39; & # 39; “ At least one of the former DPR defense ministers said this a few months ago in my broadcast, & # 39; & # 39; noted the expert. & ndash; The same thing happened in Karabakh. There were only trenches and small shelters. & # 39; & # 39; Bagdasarov also noted that “the terrain of eastern Ukraine is not mountainous, but flat.” “ This is clearly not in favor of the Donbas militia. Will Donbass last 44 days in the event of war? & # 39; & # 39; the expert asked.
According to him, one cannot hope that Kiev will abide by the Minsk agreements. “ It's time to recognize that we live in a world where no agreements work. The one who is stronger is right. It's bad, but it's true. It is obvious that Donbas cannot do without our support. Today we must declare: in the event of an outbreak of hostility, we will consider aggression against the people of Donbass as against each other, Bagdasarov concluded.
In return, military expert Alexei Leonkov on the use of the Ukrainian “Bayraktar” in Donbas, remarked in his telegram channel: “ The problem, which has been talked about for more than a year, has become a reality. And as usual, they were not prepared for it. Experts' opinions were not heard. “Words of time have passed, Russia will be judged by deeds, by deeds. In Syria they were able to (effectively shoot down the Bayraktars.” MK “), in Karabakh late, but also, & # 39; & # 39; wrote expert.
War reporter Alexander Sladkov, who has worked for a long time in Donbass, also believes you can shoot down the Bayraktars. “Well, these are not victories.” I don't know: they'll last or they'll start opening this abscess. & # 39; & # 39;
