In fact, the probable modified Ukrainian TU-141 drone likely killed 17, wounded 50, damaged or destroyed 5 strategic bombers, and did for the control tower.

So your alternate source is what ?
The Russians do give the impression of copy and paste from previous incidents being their style.

Lies, damned lies and official Russian comment.
I h,
I would love your version to be true. But I can find no verification anywhere online. The BBC version appears to be repeated all over world. Please post a credible link to support your version.

It's from local sources on telegram. I have no link yet.
Sorry.
The only previous source was Russian media, which is no more reliable than anything else :-) The idea that debris from a drone killed 3 people is not totally far-fetched but rather a stretch.
Question Author
Spokesman for the president of Ukraine, Aleksey Arestovich, claims that today's strike on Engels airbase prevented another massive airstrike due to "the destruction of the flight control center along with the entire duty shift"
Right or wrong, it's what the folks are saying: from me you won't just get BBC links like the one I provided at the start. That would be dullsville :-)
Not sure he is a reliable source Ich,

// Arestovych wrote on Facebook that he had “lied a lot since the spring of 2014”, tweaking numbers of people who had been wounded on both sides, for instance. He added: “It was pure propaganda work, prompted by Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine. //
Question Author
As previously stated, the source is Russian Telegram channels, which are a more reliable, uncensored source than sanitised press releases.
Whether the attack grounded an imminent operation by the orcs is probable speculation on his part
Ich,
I have looked up who Aleksey Arestovich is, and various sources paint him as a dodgy character. A member of a far right nationalist organisation, propagandist, and actor.
I am looking for a more reliable source than the Russians, but no one here in the west is reporting anything like the Arestovich version.
Question Author
(Sigh)
It isn’t the “Arestovich” version.
Arestovich is often not a reliable source of stuff (often he is) but Russian telegram channels very often are - for the reasons stated earlier. While the exact figures may be questionable, I tho I it’s plain this was a much more serious attack than is being admitted. For ages when the Ukraine military had imposed an information blackout they were the main source of finding out what was going on on various battlefields.
If you want a laugh, look up Dmitry Medvedev’s 10 predictions for 2023: everything from the UK rejoining the EU (which then disintegrates naturellement as a result), to civil war in the US.

"Hours afterwards Russia's FSB security service announced it had killed a four-strong "sabotage group" trying to enter the Russian border region of Bryansk "

Ukrainian forces confirmed this, sadly
Hi Itch
thanks for keeping us up to date

Since the Ukrainians had the Russians around for long enough to be thoroughly infiltrated, I am surprised anything is secret at all.
medvedev - this is more like a slavic wish list innit?

ever since Woy predictted Truss would go 24 h before she did - I have to be careful about ridiculing impossible outcomes
Question Author
I think Liz Truss did well to last 7 weeks to be honest.

People fleeing Kherson now as the terrorist shelling by the orcs reaches fever pitch.
Yogita Limaye’s dispatch will have Vern seen by many no doubt.
Ultimately they are wasting their ammunition: futile brutality. A priority must tho be to blast them out from their positions
