You people live in your own reality. Meanwhile every day brings hundreds of dead Ukrainian soldiers, driven on by a leadership that has no desire to negotiate

Yeah yeah. You can sure count on some of the dopes on this site to signal boost every little cheap shot that Ukraine makes way out of proportion.

As I said, smoking is bad:
Still, doesn’t make sense why they are doing it now
I'm sorry to say, but all the Telegram channels that spent days trying to explain away the air base attack as an accidental fire are going to look dumber and dumber as more attacks occur in Crimea.
People trying to minimize everything Ukrainians do, are as autistic as khokhols. Sure, it won't change end result, but stupid losses and mistakes should be rectified.
And there is a lot of rot in Russian bureaucracy. That's not even a question.
As PD often says, if they couldn't protect it, they didn't deserve to have it in the first place.
Kremlin sent the signal, it's ok to admit the Crimea airbase incident was sabotage now. Fall in line. No more need to defend the integrity of the general staff....at least on this issue.
They'll do the same like the dimwitts in this forum, move on to the next thing to damage control for. It can't be helped, it won't change. Partisan slaves.
Dimwitts love this process, they become even accustomed to it... routine.
I don't get why Russia went way overkill in Syria as a means of displaying their power and as a commercial for their arms exports. But they are doing none of that in Ukraine.
Draw two circles for ATACMS at max range ( they would fire from max range , deeper inside Ukrainian territory for safety from counter artillery ) and where they intersect , you find the " saboteurs .
These sabotage acts have more value to the war effort for the Ukie side than a lot of the Western wunderwaffe and cannon fodder thrown to the fire.
In the end, the question that was already answered to those behind these acts was? What's you go gonna do about it? The Kremlin responded loud and clear.

Made up stories of heroic attacks on Russian targets are meaningless and pointless... of the million different targets in Russia including soldiers and vehicles and buildings and aircraft and ammo dumps and fuel dumps... minus two... big deal.

It's the same as with islamists some decades back. There were "plenty" of strikes because those people were not under strict supervision. There are hardly strikes now as intelligence agencies have adapted and are keeping close eye on suspicious people. This happened in many countries.
I'm sure same is happening to Kievans now. Soon they are not able to make attacks anymore as their cells are exposed, infiltrated and eliminated by FSB.
Interesting is also that Kiev is activating the terrorist cells now. Those are after all the best chance the Kievans have to make attacks inside the current borders of Russia. They must understand cells will be exposed soon after these attacks. And then they have lost this asset.
Maybe they are desperate.

And internet warriors like you who claim every accident or mistake means Putin must be fired or other officials or leaders need to be replaced because waiting in the wings are these perfect heroes who never make a mistake and are bloody perfect... kinda makes you wonder why they are the B team though doesn't it... I mean if they can do a better job with no mistakes or problems...
You know what sort of person never makes mistakes... opposition politicians... and that is because they never do anything so they can't be blamed for anything and everything the government does is wrong... but the strange thing is that eventually when they get into power they are as useless as the idiots they complained about when they were in opposition.
As PD often says, if they couldn't protect it, they didn't deserve to have it in the first place.

What they've managed to produce, so far, was to increase disdain to incompetence among military bureaucrats.ALAMO wrote:
They are doing that to start up the panic, which can be used later for fooling the people and increasing the propaganda load.
A tool of war, as good as any other, and even better if you don't have the strength to stage anything more serious.
The explosion at the airbase was used to show how "Russians are fleeing the Crimea", with footage of some scared lady as proof.
People who are watching even the Russian language sources can easily divide the materials considering the authors.
The first ones come from any kind of war reporters, people who are there, while the others are being presented by folks who are never closer to the frontline than 300 km
Now, let's consider who runs a panic mode each time when a henhouse is on fire?
Sure if there is sane criticism from people who know the situation, we can be worried.
But we have folks like Strelkov, who now runs a clown league officially, and people who really follow his show.
Or we have folks like Podoljaka, who obviously went the wise guy mode, and that brought too much sparkling water inside his head.

Garry, go take care of your grandchildren or shear some sheep or whatever it is you're doing in NZ.
You've seen Russia only in picture and don't have slightest idea how state apparatus and power circles function in Russian society.
Nobody here calls for firing of Putin. Russian bureaucracy is bigger than Putin or Russian tsar was. You have famous writers like Gogol and others writing about that.
It has mindset and behavior of its own. Change of that mindset will take decades. This war is a unigue situation to cleanse incompetence on a scale it would take decades to achieve in peace time. That's all.

A more distant from any serious threats ye more of them.

Have you heard about reunion referendums in already 4 ukie regions? Maybe, just maybe, Russia itself does not want them turned into barren lands?

“One of the guided missiles hit just 10 meters” from the barrels with spent nuclear fuel,” Rogov told Soloviev Live. “Others hit a bit farther away, 50 to 200 meters.”
Since the storage site is out in the open, any hit will result in the release of nuclear waste ranging from dozens to hundreds of kilograms and contamination of the area, the official explained. “In plain language, that would be like a dirty bomb,” said Rogov.
