🇬🇧🇷🇺⚡️A scandalous report from the British tabloid "The Sun" about the sending of Storm Shadow missiles to Kiev, which would allegedly fly towards the Crimean peninsula, appears to be a psychological attack intended to cause panic among the peaceful population of #Crimea.
1/4

According to military analysts, the dossiers on the alleged missile threat are likely exaggerated, as these subsonic missiles are primarily designed for targeting ships and are vulnerable to air defense systems.

Moreover, the Crimean peninsula is reportedly well protected by advanced air defense systems such as the S-400, Buk, Tor, and Pantsir, making any threat unlikely to be successful.

The opera is based on the novel by Leo #Tolstoy about #Napoleon's invasion of Russia, and was adapted by Prokofiev in the 1940s, when memories of the Soviet Union's victory over the Nazis were still fresh.
