Русский корабль - иди нахуй

Fuck, at this rate would be safer to stay at a Ukraininian rear base than a hotel/civilian area.

Aug 25 (Reuters) - A member of the Reuters team covering the war in Ukraine was missing and two others were hospitalised after a strike on a hotel in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk.
In a statement, the news agency said that the Hotel Sapphire, where a six-person Reuters crew was staying, was hit by a strike on Saturday.
"One of our colleagues is unaccounted for, while another two have been taken to hospital for treatment," the agency said.

So is this a case of we don’t have the barrels and shells to keep the current systems going or we don’t have the equipment to replace the losses on the battlefield?

Is this a pivot to smaller towed guns because they can be moved my modern personal vehicles and so they are something they can utilize at the front due to the significant reduction in combat capable heavy trucks and infantry support vehicles that normally be used to help move modern artillery?

 

This is a sign of some type of failure within the Russian war machine, but decoding the why will have a major impact on target selection going forward.

IF you want to find Russian spies, follow companies and organizations sympathetic to moscow. During the Cold War international HR and Aid organizations  were extensively used. Now it appears the shift has been to corporations. So don't buy Russian goods or services and we can fuck them up.

I’m surprised Elon didn’t have some sort of secure comms built into his satlink service just for them. 

Don't give that fuck any ideas.

If there is 1 nation that supports his old style South African approach to modern world it is Russia.

It's fucking amazing that it now appears that not only do the Russian's have no secure communications on the field of battle, but also they appear to have nothing on the espionage front as well.  If the arrest figure is real, a big if, that's just the start, there is going to be a either a mass arrest across Europe (and potentially here) as well, or a mass exodus of Russian espionage.  Just wild.

What blows me away is that we are coming up on three weeks into the Ukrainian invasion of Russia , and Russia still hasn’t been able to muster a decent response.   And if Western intelligence services got into Telegram, that means that apparently Russian communications are compromised, which will make it even harder for Russia to get their shit together.

There is a very real possibility that Ukraine will either take Kursk in the next month or so, or cut off Russian forces above Kharkiv and towards Belarus (at the very least they’ll have to load stuff into Scooby Doo vans and drive the long way around, wasting precious gas).  At the least, they will have a large area of Russia cut off from Russia as we head into the winter.

And F-16s haven’t even been used yet (outside of shooting down drones and missiles) and we are just now loosening restrictions on the use of certain weapons.

Russia found a solution to its ethnic problems….in Ukraine.

Nah, they want those people. They just want them to be subservient. I don't see another Holmodor.

So like Musk in South Africa (or X, or Tesla). Workers are wanted, but not cared about.

Calling your shot on the bridge is a baller move. It’s so Billy Jack.

Is publicizing that an effort to get Russian civilians to flee Crimea in advance of the bridge going boom?

Taking out the last major ferry should have been the big glowing sign saying. “EXIT NOW” and yeah, if they can panic the civilians, they don’t have to take out the bridge, the civilians will jam it up on their own.

Give them 72 hours from the announcement. Take out the bridge. Hammer the military positions and cause Russia to show the world how they will deal with carrying for their people. 7 days end. General amnesty via the non-bridge exit. Make these fucks go through the areas Ukraine used to control now leveled by the Russians. Oh, worried this will create a hardline from the civilians in Crimea who are told Ukraine did it? They already are. Just like the Nazis living next to camps who said they had no idea what that horrible smell was or why those trains went through their towns on a regular basis.

I am not saying level the populations centers ala putin. I am saying make them witness what their beloved motherland has done.

If he went to France voluntarily then this all was arranged and I'd believe that both CIA and MI6 were there when he was taken into custody.

He flew to France voluntarily, was immediately taken into custody by French authorities. Russia demanding access to him, but Durov didn't ask for them. I think it's safe to read between the lines on what's happening. It will be interesting to learn just how "end-to-end" encrypted is telegram.

Rapidly becoming clear that this is a defection, while a formal arrest, in name only.  This guy has correctly determined that whatever shade he felt he had from Putin was dwindling and in the end wasn't going to end well for him.

And not to get all Cloak Room, but if one believes the Rooskies tried to influence prior US presidential elections, I would tend to believe these Telegram events would help ensure a more fair election this November.

that is not a belief, that is a factual finding that resulted in an arrest warrants for Russian nationals for interfering in our election.

By insinuating that it may not be the truth, you are actually doing CR work. 

But if we can crack telegram content, we just may be able to obtain old communications from any of the presidential candidates - you know, Harris/Trump/JFK

Initial reports a Russian Mi-8 helicopter was damaged after being hit with an FPV drone.

Russian claims that Ukraine is using Tochka-U short-range ballistic missiles are true
It appears that Ukraine has restarted production or refurbishment of old stock
GenX will know the Tochka-U by its NATO identifer - the Scud missile
The reveal comes 2 days after Ukraine announced the first strike using Palianytsia - a half rocket/half long-range drone - and Friday's strike on Port Kavkaz by the modified Neptune-ER antiship missiles
