The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the so-called great success of the Russian army on the territory of Ukraine. Like, the Russian military destroyed a barge with a landing force of the MTR of the GUR of Ukraine, who was trying to capture the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

The telegram channel of the ministry published a video showing how helicopters are shooting at an object called a barge. However, all this is not true. According to The Insider, the shot object really resembles a barge from afar, but without deck superstructures, that is, it is not self-propelled. Such a barge can move only with the help of a tug or a pusher, but it is not in the frame. “What is the point of landing on an unguided floating craft is not clear. In the Gray Zone Telegram channel, they were able to recognize the "barge". It turned out to be the support of the bridge across the Dnipro near Enerhodar.

The bridge was built in 1943 by the German invaders and six months later it was blown up by German sappers during the retreat. In this form, the remainder of the bridge stood for 78 years until the victorious strike of Russian helicopters. Writing stories about the successes of the Russian army on the territory of Ukraine, propaganda seeks to somehow hide its own failures, in particular, their retreat due to pressure from the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region.
