    Just finished Perun's new video. As always he does some great analysis. Interesting point he made was Russians brag how many shells they fire a day, even though we know that's due to accuracy and ISR problems, leading to barrels burning out faster. Seeing other Russian/Soviet systems, I doubt they have highly proficient way for barrel replacement and regular maintenance on the pieces.

    Was coming to add Kofman and Meduza is excellent. If you interested into getting some background on the Russian military before the conflict Kofman has some great lectures on YouTube about Russian attempts at modernization and reorganization. He also does a (sometimes) weekly podcast on War on the Rocks and some Sundays with Dmitri Alperovitch, including last night: Have we mentioned bellingcat? They are incredibly good investigative journalists that really go deep to call out Russian bullshit about all kinds of shit including assignations, MH17, fraud, etc. They are prominent in the HBO show on Navaly.

    Start putting a dent in those cruise missiles too. Don't believe either government but the OSINT community is pretty good at calling out bullshit fairly quickly. All that said, still a lot of fog of war.

    Russia is Ukraine?

    I think Melnyk was pretty controversial but no idea on the others.

    Ties in with them matching specific oblasts to regions/cities in occupied territory but having the local party instead from the whole region is hilarious bullshit. Like they need to actually promote the party.

    ATACMS! Fuck yea. Put the Kerch bridge clock back on.

    Awesome if they have C-RAMs in theater. The Russians using anti-ship and S-300 missiles for strikes is telling as well.

    Not saying that isn't what he is doing, but with the smoke behind him he may have just fired his rocket salvo and popping flares while turning for home? One or two incendiary artillery shells would lite that field a lot easier. Russians are evil pieces of dick.

    Close the canal to any ship carrying Russian cargo or under Russian flag. Or just confiscate the first nice one that rolls through. Regardless, fuck yo couch Russia, you go the long way.

    Agree. I think we recovered a good chunk of street cred putting Russian plans on blast before Feb 24. IMO, that had a huge impact on shaping the initial phase of the war. Props to everyone involved collecting, analyzing, and making the decision to release the intelligence to the world.

    The ole Tirpitz smoke generator strategy - bold move for a target that doesn't move like a huge fucking bridge and the world has GPS satellites and shit. Regardless, call 617 squadron in with some tall boys just to be safe.

    Would be nice to hit a few of the air fields down there while you're at it.

    Resupplying in Sevastopol, it would be nice for something to hit it. What do the Ukrainians have (if anything) to strike Sevastopol currently? OT: Soviets had an underground sub base near by in Balaklava. Link

    I would think Russia could still maintain the blockade with subs plus aviation and anti ship missiles out of Crimea.

    On a different financial note, everyone talking about a strong ruble is good for Russia doesn't make sense to me. It's been a while since my econ classes but a strong ruble makes Russian exports less competitive and foreign denominated contracts bringing in less rubles? Isn't this the whole reason the Chinese refuse to let the yuan float and keep it artificially low? Maybe it doesn't matter if they are forcing as many transactions as the can to be in rubles, but a strong currency is not necessarily a good thing.
