В Кремле паника после подрыва офицера в Балашихе. Как ФСБ не справляется с покушениями

Overview

The speaker discusses the killing of a Russian Defense Ministry representative, identified as Damir Davydov, and presents it as evidence of FSB counterintelligence “failure” and growing insecurity within Moscow’s elite following multiple recent attacks.

Key Claims and Arguments

1. Panic inside the Kremlin / security services

The authorities allegedly delayed or refused to name Davydov for more than a day. The speaker interprets this as a sign of confusion and fear after attacks, suggesting the security apparatus is not effectively managing risk.

2. Davydov’s significance and alleged war role

Based on prior reporting and databases, the speaker links Davydov to a GRAU/GRU missile-related structure, portraying him as a key participant in planning and enabling long-range cruise missile strikes against Ukraine.

The speaker further claims that Ukraine lists him as a war criminal connected to SBU-linked case materials.

3. Questioning protection of high-ranking officers

The speaker notes a reported shift of security powers for key military figures away from the FSB to another service (described as an FSO/FSB power transfer). This is framed as admitted incompetence and political optics rather than genuine protection.

A comparison is made to General Alekseev, described as also having survived/been targeted, suggesting that even generals may not be fully protected—possibly due to internal secrecy, personal-life factors, or fragmented information flows.

4. Scale and feasibility of the operations

The speaker cites reports of multiple mined vehicles found in Moscow over a short period, arguing that this level of penetration reflects serious shortcomings by Russian security services.

The speaker also argues Ukraine has incentives to conduct attacks to demoralize elites and disrupt the perception of control within Moscow.

5. Second target and links to Rostec / drone and targeting work

The video also references a second assassination attempt, involving a person associated with Rostec. The speaker describes them as connected to high-tech drone and targeting development.

While the speaker mentions investigative reporting (e.g., Insider), they suggest the person may not have been directly inside the secret services.

6. Use of minors / tactics

The Russian Investigative Committee is cited as claiming the second attempt involved two teenagers already detained. The speaker argues this is plausible as part of a broader “export” of wartime clandestine practices from one theater/space to another.

Political and Personal Impact on Elite Security

The speaker concludes that repeated attacks could increase pressure within the ruling system:

• One faction allegedly wants an end to the war, since it is becoming dangerous even for wealthy elites.
• Another faction blames Putin’s incompetence/lack of decisiveness and may push for harsher escalation.

Overall, the speaker argues Putin’s “panic” is not only political but also personal/safety-related, and the risk to him is portrayed as growing daily.
