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 Ukrainian An-26 military transport aircraft "intercepting" the Russian Navy ship "nonsense" because it is technically impossible for such a situation to have occurred.

"This is another stupidity of the Ukrainian propaganda machine, once again revealing 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 when it starts to be targeted by radar." He noted that painting "victories" for oneself, even if they are absurd, is now a "new tactic" of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.
