    Maybe because some people from Russian side have financial interests in Ukraine or already have their eyes on some of the Ukrainian assets?

    And how many Russian servicemen killed?

    Or just some ammo of which Russia is a major producer and the biggest hoarder of in the world?

    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

    In a first place, I suppose the film made from a train is irrelevant to the situation.
    Take a look at the map. There is obviously a railway close to the base, but not as close as on the movie. And the area that it passes does not look like suitable for storage of Grads we see in the background - there is much more hardened space around rather than unpaved land next to the railway.

    Losses are normal in the war. Check out the video. You can see there that somebody utterly incompetent would store ammo and weapons this way.
    These are completely avoidable losses and that is my point. Just follow procedures.

    Twenty!

    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. They're also relatively simple, cheap, and has low manpower usage.

    All it takes is a rational actor on the other side, after crossing red lines aka called bluffs in initial probing attempts earlier in the war. Now it's all about execution and setting every little pile of powder on fire.

    In the end, the question that was already answered to those behind these acts was..... What are you go gonna do about it? The Kremlin responded loud (cough) and clear.

    Well fine then.

    As I said, smoking is bad:

    Losing hundreds of troops a day and you think a few explosions and fires with two people getting injured are going to help your side win...

    Enjoy it.

    Still, doesn’t make sense why they are doing it now

    Officials getting fired for treason... I would say things are starting to collapse from the inside...

    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.

    Yeah, of course... that airbase incident was obviously a super stealth ballistic missile no body detected at all, which makes you wonder why they haven't used it on any other target before or since... lots of very important targets on the Crimea... critical data centres for the Russian Navy as well as major HQ sites... it is like the Moskva and all those other ships sunk by Harpoons and Neptunes... except they haven't used those again either... almost like they never used them in the first place and it is all propaganda bullshit as usual from the nazis...

    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.

    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.

    Opposition politician quoting Opposition party leader...

    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 haven't commented on the airbase incident yet AFAIK... they said it was the more recent incident that was sabotage.

    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.

    All supporters of Russia are idiots... that is why the west is winning in the Ukraine I guess... reality is too harsh.

    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.

    They are killing more nazis a day than they are killing ISIS terrorists in a week in Syria... but you think they are being soft?

    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 .

    How many times does it need to be pointed out ATACMS is a double range FROG-7 rocket that ancient Soviet SAMs could intercept... its guidance makes it much more accurate but it would never reach its target so its accuracy means nothing at all.

    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.

    Of course... that is the plan... while Orc conscripts get butchered up by Russian artillery in their thousands, on the sly in the background western special forces sneak around the Crimea setting grass fires hoping they reach some ammo or fuel dump... where two major results killed on person and injured two others.

    They are well on their way to winning this that is perfectly clear...  NOT.

    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.

    They have been throwing insults and slaps at Russia for the last 8 (100) years... the answer is ongoing and is costing the Ukraine in blood... but they don't give a **** and nor does the west so Russia will continue to burn through the Ukrainian gene pool till they are no longer a problem.

    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.

    Kievans manage to make some attacks because they have been roaming freely in Russia for ages.

    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.

    Not sure if this has already been posted.

    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 Laughing
    Now, let's consider who runs a panic mode each time when a henhouse is on fire? dunno Laughing
    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.

    Those cells are being eliminated on a routine practice and daily basis. Both in Russia and Belarus, because they are trying to stage terrorist acts in Belarus either.
    There is footage from the elimination of such a group yesterday : https://t.me/boris_rozhin/60547

    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.

    Since week 2 of the conflict the NATO forces are only capable of terrorist-style attacks, mostly against pure civilian targets. Which shows you how "mighty" NATO really is.

    https://www.rt.com/russia/560971-ukraine-bombs-waste-containers-zaporozhye/

    Ukraine bombs nuclear waste storage site inside Zaporozhye NPP – official

    “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.

    About those red lines...

    Noone cares if Ukrainians lose 1 million men in the war

    The west does not, and the rest of theworld won't either , in fact noone gives a shit how many of them die- that is the price of being fodder

    The problem is making a false equivalent between Ukrainian losses and Russian ones

    Russia is like a God , Ukraine is a mortal

    It is nothing for a God to pummel a human , in other words expected

    But if a human manages to cut a God, it has a greater effect, because the impossible became possible

    You cannot put Russia and Ukraine on the same level even if Ukraine receives NATO assistance

    So the propaganda effect of the Ukrainians blowing up a worthless depot or a couple of planes will have a tremendous effect on the informational side

    Of course this won't win a war, and has no effect in grand scale of things

    But the damage to morale and to fuel the belief that Ukraine can win , is done, regardless if it is true or not, it gives wind to arms deliveries and aid , and western populations continue to tolerate economic losses , because some evidence of the Ukro Counter Offensive suddenly appeard on an Updoot of NAFO

    Russia will win the war, no matter what is written and no matter what random fuel depot gets destroyed

    It is a fact of life, when you put Russia before Ukraine

    But these things cannot happen for the morale of the population and the army

    Yes morale itself is high anyway, but if it can be avoided it is better to have a good informational weapon

    As putin himself stated , the war is 85% informational, 10% economic and 5% kinetic

    Meaning information and propaganda has a place in all of it , even if alone it will not change the facts

    Have you heard about reunion referendums in already 4 ukie regions? Maybe, just maybe, Russia itself does not want them turned into barren lands?
    Why should move troops around or send aircraft on bombing missions to hunt down Nazi troops if the geniuses in Washington/Brussels/Kiev send their fighters towards them?
    Result is that the destruction is concentrated on a relatively small area, besides the strategic targets anywhere in the fake state, like companies of the MIC, fuel and ammo depots
    and the barracks of soldiers/mercs.

    Brazen. Also since it is connected to nuclear material many would see this as a move forcing Russia to act. My question is why. Is this to get western "peacekeepers" to come in? Or is it to force Russia to declare war? Instead of bickering about your corruption or defending ruskies or just being a shill of neolib/neocons ask why this is a target. What does the west want? This seems extremely desperate. Also ruskies and slavs posting here instead of bitching about fanbois like us and eternally complaining of corruption please explain without bitterness or sarcasm stuff that you think is going on that you think we dont understand.

    Also those mocking red lines remember Yahu and Obama loved using these before. I hated the redline horseshir then and I hate it now. Atlascub quit being a faggot.

    At this point in time, Anglos just want to see Russians suffer and die, it is really that simple and it does not matter how. As clown Gavin Williamson once incompetently put it: "Russia needs to go out and shut up"

    It's more than that

    According to Kubler Ross model, which was made for western psychology

    The Anglo Saxons are in the 2nd stage of 5

    The first was denial, when Obama and before then other Anglos denied that Russia had any influence at all, Once they realized the extent of Russian strength and ability to change their initiatives, they quickly moved to anger stage 2

    In this stage the Anglos believe that their anger at Russian power being re-established by Putin will be satiated by conducting some kind of punitive actions against Russians , like denigrating comical racist comment, or banning Russians from sporting events - but even that and conducting war against Russians won't help them as they move to stage 3

    When this is said and done, the collective Anglo conscious will move to bargaining, where they will self bargain after paying so much in blood and treasure to spite Russia, that it was worth it, which they already do with hilarious tropes like Putins price hike, or Putins oil drop, or visa restrictions

    after they are firmly depressed by lost economic prospects, inability to assert themselves in old strongholds, and diminishing returns, they will enter a period of depression and cynicism where they will simply shut out the developments of the new world order - you see this in social media, where a multitude of confounding and contradicting viewpoints exist , to the point of Bipolar disorder with subject like Julian Roepcke and other affected subjects proving that some in the west are depressed by the inability to push Russia back to the cave

    Finally they will accept this change, and try to enter the normal world , but it remains to be seen what of the west can actually exist as a normal society

    Apparently none of the mercs taken prisoner in the DNR have been bumped off as of yet, contrary to the rumour that was floating around

    They're all alive and well, according to John Mark Dougan - the guy who got one of the mercs to sing the Russian national anthem on camera during his last interview.
    JMD is well connected in the Donbass, having interviewed Pushilin, as well as the foreign minister of the LNR. He's interviewed a couple of the captured NATO mercs already.

    I saw in western press today the Kievan puppet foaming from mouth that it would be a colossal loss for humanity if the world community failed to protect the nuclear power plant.
    That is a message directed to western audiences. And puppy is of course speaking what his masters have told him to.

    So I bet they are trying to get some international group move in and take the powerplant under supervision. They try to create pressure for Russia to accept this. What would that do? At least make the involvement of western powers more official. That could in theory act as some sort of guarantee for Kievan regime to keep existing if they are one of the signatories of this international agreement backed by for example USA.  

    But hard to say.

    Surely Kievan regime will go to the bitter end anyway. We all should be prepared for this emotionally - very nasty things can happen when they hear the knocking at chancellory door. They are insane. Fanatics. Their idols did not have nuclear reactors to blow up as last orders but we remember the metro tunnels.

    The Public Relations Center of the Federal Security Service of Russia on Monday, August 15, published information about the elimination of two terrorists preparing to blow up an oil pipeline in the Volgograd region. We've collected everything we know about the incident at this hour.

    According to the FSB of Russia, members of the right-wing radical group banned in Russia "Restrukt", created by Maxim "Tesak" Martsinkevich, are suspected of preparing terrorist attacks. The ministry clarified that during the arrest, the men put up armed resistance and were killed.

    The special services claim that the organization of sabotage, controlled by the Ukrainian special services, was conducted by 36-year-old Russian citizen Andrey Chuenkov, now a member of the Ukrainian special forces unit Uragan, banned in Russia, and a citizen of Ukraine, 34-year-old Yuri Ionov, a member of the Ukrainian national battalion Azov, banned in Russia.

    The Federal Security Service (FSB), together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, prevented the arson of administrative buildings of the Mineralovodsk City district and the city district of the resort city of Zheleznovodsk. This is stated in the message of the FSB, received by RBC.

    According to the agency, the attack was planned by a member of the Right Sector (an extremist organization banned in Russia). The suspect was detained and arrested.

    "During the search measures, components for making an incendiary mixture were found and seized. The defendant confessed, " the report says.
