The commander of the Special Forces Group of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine under the pseudonym "Pein" revealed the details of the return the «Boyko towers» under ukrainian control during the interview with 1+1 journalists.
"The special operation was prepared for about a month and a half. We understood that it could be a one-way trip, because only a fool and the dead are not afraid. We went on by inflatable boat because it is more maneuverable and it less visible to aircraft," Pein said.
While carrying out a combat mission, a group of ukrainian agents met with a Russian fighter plane.
"When we started to dock, the plane started firing our fighters. They hit the boat a little. One such shell could kill us. There was one hit in the tail part. We saw a smoke – first white, then black," recalled the scout.
He added that on the drilling platforms the special forces discovered Russian ammunition and valuable equipment for conducting reconnaissance in the west part of the Black Sea.
"The Neva system, that we captured, is a piece of equipment that you can open and discover the software. There is a lot of useful information that can give us answers to our questions," explained the commander.
According to him, the return to Ukrainian control of «Boyko towers» is a painful blow to the influence of the aggressor state in the Black Sea.
"We have limited the actions of the Russians in the waters of the Black Sea, namely in the waters of Zmiinyi Island. We pushed them to the shores of Crimea," he noted.
At the same time, Pein noted that the enemy may try to recapture what was lost, but Ukrainian special forces are preparing for such a scenario.
