Wouldn't be surprised if they turn out to be the same people who expressed outrage over the Russian withdrawal from Snake Island and Kherson because of the same Ukrainian tactics.
Luckily I have none of such an idiots on my radar, so I don't even get what you are talking about yet ...
To get an impression how those poor bastards are being treated in propaganda war, I have just lurked into our most popular among "yntelygentsya" newspaper.
They have been informed - today - that we see another sign of Russian weakness and the proof of them being weaken and weaken, as the rocket strikes are smaller and smaller, and the pauses between are longer and longer.
That happened two days after something thaw was called the biggest strike in a whole conflict, and we have a continuous and mass cruise missiles strike along the entire 404 any single day for a few days. Today there are massive strikes again, all over 404 again, made with strategic aviation, Calibres and R-500.
They really figuring out this bullshit, all day long.
So imagine some poor bastard who is cut off from both (!!) Ukrainian and Russian sources, lacking language skills. He will just take this shit for granted. Because there is no other. English coverage is both naive and shallow. Any single one.
Edit : today's sky over Astrahan.

... yet some info that the damage is a way too small, so probably they get own medicine of AD missile origin ...

The contrails seen over Astrakhan must have been Kalibrs from the Caspian flottilla.
A lot of them though. Every Buyan available, full complement?

Yeah, that was my second thought as the trajectory would mean some crazy turn for a bomber to make. Still it is a bit too far to make the exhaust trails like this, the starting stage is long gone at that distance.
Interesting.

I assume it's just jet contrails. Can't say I'm an expert but it sounds logical to me that they would fly quite high to begin with for fuel efficiency while over Russian territory, before dropping down to terrain-following mode once in UA.
Astrakhan had 0-5 degrees C at ground level this morning. Typical jet exhaust contrails form at around -25 and below, temperature does drop rapidly with altitude though.

So Zelensky needs direct Nato support to keep the war going and the US is not insane enough to attack Russia by itself. The only way out might be some useful idiots in the EU, who are dumb enough to start a direct conflict with Russia. Right now I can only think of Poland and the Baltic states to be possible candidates for overconfident Nato stooges that could provoke another war. Maybe they are the real reason, why Russia has send so many troops into Belarus to deter them.
At least that is how I interpret this message: One false move and you are dead, Poland.

Please please please let the Baltic shithole nations be stupid enough to attack Russia.
I'd like NOTHING more than to watch the Russian army sweep into the nazi dirt patchs and drive those fvckers into the Baltic Sea. The Russian-speakers should however stay to be the nucleus of the new Russians oblasts. I suggest that Russia officially changes the name of these areas, as a break with the past is useful when absorbing a recalcitrant enemy.
Those baltic clowns who can swim and who manage to get past Kaliningrad can find ready employment in Pooland as whores or toilet cleaners.

Although the analyst is a Brit at RUSI he understands things (he has a pilots licence) and has some interesting views on the RuAF fighting in the air since the beginning.
Start around 6.30 and end around 43.00 if you want to avoid the really partisan stuff. It starts at 34.00 on a discussion as to which aircraft the UAF should use after a ceasefire so you could stop there.

Uncertainty as to who generously gave the NY gift. Note the EU flag out front, often flown in front of buildings they funded.

There is information that during the strike on Kyiv, something flew to the hotel where the Western advisers were. At the moment, there is an evacuation of foreign specialists.

The 1st Army Corps (Donetsk People's Militia) and 2nd Army Corps (Lugansk People's Militia) have, as of today, been integrated with the Armed Forces of Russia, reports the Russian Ministry of Defence.
The Donbass militias are joining the Russian army with all their banners and battle flags. While they have been under the overall operational command of the Southern Military District for a while, now it's official.

NOTE: the announcement posted earlier in Military Reform had stated the 2nd Corps is officially the 2nd Guards Army Corps.
To the best of my knowledge;
The 1st Army Corps (Donetsk) has 4 regular Motor Rifle brigades, 2 Motor Rifle regiments, 2 territorial defense regiments and 4-6 territorial defense battalions plus an artillery brigade.
The 2nd Guards Army Corps (Lugansk) has 3 regular Motor Rifle brigades, 1 Motor Rifle regiment and 4-6 territorial defense battalions plus an artillery brigade.

The video says complete nonsense that does not correspond to reality. Another vestoid enjoys a coolade. It's not worth the time spent watching.

Actually guided rounds like the guided smerch or tornado S would be very useful in large numbers in places like Bakhmut where Ukraine is using fixed fortifications. I'm not sure why this continues to elude Garry. Mark positions with UAS, destroy then simultaneously with guided rounds, then magically take way fewer losses in infantry and vehicles.

Not sure why Russia continues to launch cruise missiles in daylight. It would make it basically impossible for Manpad operators to even fire at them if they were launched at night.
