You really couldn't make this shit up if you tried.

The US and Ukraine were the only two countries that opposed a UN General Assembly vote on condemning the NAZI ideology. It is no wonder that the US White House bestowed the International Women of Courage Award on Yulia Paevskaya, who goes by the nickname ‘Taira’ who is a member of the Azov Ukrainian nationalist battalion.

Moscow’s ambassador to the US Antonov "described Paevskaya as a “terrorist cutthroat whose hands are covered in the blood of the elderly, women, and children.” In March 2022, as the fighting raged in the besieged city of Mariupol, which is now part of Russia, Paevskaya “pretended to be a mother of two children whose parents she had killed herself,” and then tried to escape disguised in civilian clothing, Antonov stated."

The only reasons for the use of Kinzhal is that you can't track the mig-31 once in the air with satellites so you can't know when the launch happened. And the second is that it hits the target 1 minutes after the launch at those ranges in Ukraine so you can track visually a target (humint or satellite) and destroy it without giving it free time to evacuate or move.

Imagine a team of generals meets in a building, even in the basement of the building. The mig-31 will launch its kinzhal undetected and 1 minute after it blows up the building with a 500kg or so warhead. Even if you know the launch happened, the time needed to call the generals, tell them to evacuate and them to evacuate will be higher than the arrival time.

It's a decapitation system.

It's certainly not to bypass ukro AD. Everytime a kinzhal is used, a top priority target is killed/destroyed.

Continuation of the ammo saga.

In a month or so the Chechens will take over the role of mouthpieces/TikTok warriors again.

The spin must roll

I don´t bother as long as Nazi heads roll.

In the #Belgorod region, the AFU terrorists struck the outskirts of #Shebekino town. Residential buildings have been hit, civilians were not harmed.

#Starobelsk Direction:

There are no significant changes on the frontline. Artillery duels and position fighting continue along the line of contact.

#Soledar (#Bakhmut) Direction:

Wagner PMC units are leading an offensive towards #Bogdanovka, continuing to close the encirclement ring around #Bakhmut.
The enemy responds by attempting counterattacks to maintain a ground corridor out of the city.

Russian forces evacuate civilians from liberated neighbourhoods in eastern #Bakhmut. The enemy terrorists are shelling the lost areas without regard for the lives of the townspeople.

In the south of #Bakhmut, the Wagnerian assault units are engaged in the most intense fighting. At the same time, Russian artillery is targeting enemy positions at the intersection of Korsunsky and Tchaikovsky streets.

"You would think the AFU would have difficulty mounting a large scale counteroffensive due to the artillery assets Russia has deployed on the Bakhmut front."

Plus the mud limiting areas of advance.

Taking out a vehicle on a narrow road/track will make it difficult for those following to get round it, or if its heavy getting the right vehicle in position to push it out of the way.
