Gaffe: Ukrainian official said Bayraktars are useless! “The Russians took them down in a week” – Turkish fury

Traction blunder… The Ukrainian chairman of the National Security and Defense Committee Sergey Pashinsky, admitted that the much-hyped Turkish-made drones Bayraktar, hailed by both Kyiv and Western media as “game changers” in the course of the war, in practice they are more of a propaganda marketing tool than a “superplane”… The reason is their absolute vulnerability to air defense systems.

The Ukrainian official made this revelation in an interview with Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus, believing he was talking to the former US ambassador to Moscow Michael McFaul!

Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus have pranked yet another Ukrainian official. This time, they got Sergey Pashinsky, chairman of the Committee on National Security and Defense Council, to thrash Bayraktar TB2 drones.

Sergei Pashinsky said that the whole affair with the Turkish Bayraktar drones is more about “public relations and corruption than about combat use” acknowledging that they were shot down by the Russians within… a week.

“Without the American HARM missiles, Bayraktar would not exist,” he declares.

Rage in Turkey

Pasinski’s statements angered the Turks. “All I have to say to Mr. Pasinski is then fight alone” was the bitter reply of Haluk Bayraktar, owner of the defense systems!
