Expert opinion: Ukrainian media fabricated the incident of blocking Russian Navy ships
Military expert Igor Korotchenko, member of the Social Council of the Russian Defense Ministry, called the Ukrainian media report about the "interception" of a Russian Navy ship by a Ukrainian An-26 military transport aircraft "nonsense" because it is technically impossible for such a situation to have occurred.

"This is another stupidity of the Ukrainian propaganda machine, which once again shows its unprofessionalism. In this case of forgery, the organizers clearly did not care at all about plausibility."
According to State Duma deputy Dmitry Belik, "a warship equipped with an air defense system is enough to scare away any aircraft that starts radar irradiation." He noted that painting "victories" for oneself, even if they are absurd, is now a "new tactic" of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.
