According to him, on the afternoon of May 10, in the area of Zmeiny Island, Russian air defense systems destroyed another Ukrainian UAV "Bayraktar-TB2".
In total, over the past three days, Kyiv has lost 30 drones in this area, including nine Bayraktar-TB2 attack drones.
Konashenkov noted that all the drones were involved in the failed "PR campaign" of the Kyiv regime to seize Serpent Island on the eve of Victory Day.
Also today, Russian servicemen on the shore found three more bodies of Ukrainian saboteurs, nailed from the sea.
It is noted that as a result of the failure of the Kyiv operation, 27 bodies of militants of Ukrainian special forces units and nationalists remain on Zmeiny.
Also, the Kyiv regime lost three Su-24 bombers and one Su-27 fighter, ten helicopters.
“Of these, three Mi-8 helicopters with landing troops on board, one Mi-24 support helicopter were shot down in the air.
In addition, six more Mi-8 and Mi-24 helicopters involved in the operation were destroyed on the ground near the settlement of Artsyz in the Odessa region, ”Konashenkov said.
According to him, three Ukrainian armored assault boats "Centaur" with amphibious assault on board were also destroyed in the sea.
Konashenkov stressed that, from a military point of view, the gamble to seize the Serpent's Island, which was pointless, ended in disaster for Ukraine.
“The thoughtless PR action of the Kyiv regime to seize Zmeiny Island on the eve of Victory Day led to the senseless death of more than five dozen Ukrainian militants and military personnel of the elite units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the loss of four aircraft, ten helicopters, three boats and thirty unmanned aerial vehicles,” he said.
