    Kill two birds with one stone by attacking gas storage.  Retaliation aimed at the Kiev regime and retaliation aimed at its NATzO sponsors.
    EU-tardia is still consuming Russian gas.   It needs to go and find another source, such as by sticking tubes in its own collective anus.
    Uncle Swineshit has stopped LNG exports to EU-tardia and Qatar can't cover the needs of the whole planet.   So this non-conventional
    source is a serious consideration bounce

    A paradox. No washing machine CPUs and no resources to produce new missiles, yet slamming Ukria harder than ever.

    Maybe NATzO deciders and their NAFO sycophants can wish harder and make reality happen.

    All the time Christoforou brings up the 60 Billion.  Rolling Eyes
    And Merouris talks about "Ukros going into defence last summer/fall". 
    For that you need air superiority and AD systems in abundance.
    Otherwise you are just a sitting target for FABs and KABs and all the other
    things Russia can throw at you.

    Ukrainian railways have not really been attacked by the Russians yet, or have been attacked by them but only sporadically.

    You deceptively insinuate that they have been hit hard, but that has not been the case.

    At the Krivoy Rog thermal power plant, one of the largest in Ukraine, the fire is still ongoing, after a night of calibration.

    When a tank is both too heavy and lacking in protection you know the designers really botched it. And these fools act as if it is merely a design tradeoff rather than an absurdly severe flaw.

    Translation: Much like the Abrams and Leopard, its Superior to the limited armor parks of 3rd world nations when it is crewed by people from it's home country, enjoys air supremacy and close artillery support and an adequate logistics system, but when you take all that away and you dump in Ukronazis its a sitting duck.  Basically what I have been saying for months.  Would a NATO country (US, UK, Froglegs, Poland, or Germany) do better? Probably not.  Russia wouldn't just wait around for NATO to build up, they'd hit nato airbases and wipe out NATO's logistics network and it would be like Ukraine but on a much larger scale.  NATO, like Hitler before them, wanted to fight Russia yet they picked the wrong battle

    Putin thought that holding back gives him some moral high ground.

    More likely he held back his forces from brutally murdering innocent civilians because he is not a monster like western leaders and it seems the general western public are who don't get upset when their military bomb and kill around the globe in their name... of course thinking that wont come back to bite them in the arse...

    The US would’ve destroyed all their infrastructure in the weeks without second thought.

    Because they are monsters without souls.

    Putin cost Russia thousands of soldiers by holding back

    He protected a lot of civilians but he also protected Russian troops and had them withdraw when it made no sense to leave them to protect ground and cost lives.

    The number of men killed in a peer fight against an enemy supported by the entire western world tells you this is the winter war with Finland and Russia is Finland in this case... except they are also winning the war.

    Russian specialists have for the first time shown the inner workings of an Anglo-French Storm Shadow missile.



    A mix I assume of French and Danish stocks. This may be termed as 'going all in'.

    Which will likely require French and Danish crews...

    A fire in a stockpile of coal could last a long time.

    Fires in coal mines can smolder for decades...

    Well in all fairness to the Challanger it never made it to the Russian lines so its abilit to plow through was never really tested.

    It seems they were planning to plow under the Russian forces like a land Submarine...

    Ironically in 10 years time funky tractors made of Challanger and Abrams and Leopard parts will be ploughing the fields of a new independent country where Kiev is now...

    Chief of ukro DTEK energy concern whining :

    https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/106334

    Pay attention to the details.
    First, accuracy of the strikes.
    Second, scale of the strikes.
    Third - most funny - combining a claim that "they can't intercept every missile" with "both substations were hit by 8 missiles each". Translating that, Russkie can deliver any demanded number of missiles, irrelevant to the object defense.

    It seems that "decommunization" is at a full swing, and at the end, ukrs will be brought back to the pre-commie conditions. Which was shitting in the woods.

    Challenger was never made to be an effective weapon system, to begin with.
    It used to be a swan song of a used-to-be industrial superpower that was already deceased.
    Try to find materials with testing of Chobham armor layout and pay attention to some details.
    When hit, and the frontal plate penetrated - you can see bulbs of greyish material coming out of it.
    It is rubber.
    Compressed rubber assisting sheets/layers of material, creating a composite NERA pack.
    This shit is nothing more complicated than Soviet BDD elastomer/steel add on armor, only put under the armor rather than on it.
    Yet the western propaganda managed to create a myth of supa dupa technology behind it.
    This supa-dupa technology granted a frontal and narrow arc of 350KE/400HE protection and was about the same for M1 and L2 at that time.
    That matched ... T-62 with BDD.
    Funny, isn't it?

    🇺🇦 PJSC "Centrenergo": Zmievskaya TPP in the Kharkov region - one of the largest in Ukraine, completely destroyed

    There were many hits on expensive and unique equipment. All blocks of thermal power plants were destroyed.

    📝 “Everything that we have been repairing since the summer, preparing for the difficult heating season, has been destroyed. “Not a single power unit at the station is working,” Ukrainian power engineers emphasize.

    ✅ Earlier, the executive director of the Ukrainian energy holding DTEK Sakharuk said that on March 22, the Russian Armed Forces razed two thermal power plants to the ground - Burshtynskaya and Ladyzhinskaya. According to him, 8 missiles arrived for each. Sakharuk was amazed at the accuracy of the blows and the amount of damage.

    "The accuracy of Russian missiles is amazing"

    According to DTEK executive director Sakharuk, they strike with a precision “up to a meter.”

    “Unfortunately, it was not possible to shoot down all the missiles, the consequences are simply colossal - it's just a field now, there is no roof, there is no equipment. Scorched earth,” he shares his impressions.

    The attacking missiles targeting Ukraine, the X-101, have been modified, increasing the warhead from 450 to 800 kg!

    ▪ Enemy resources report that in one of the recent attacks on Ukraine, two warheads were found on X-101 missiles. The second warhead also contains cubic striking elements.

    ▪ Russian military sacrificed part of the fuel tank for this modification. However, given Ukraine's size and the range of the X-101, the missile will not lose effectiveness.

    ▪ The increased power will help more effectively destroy, including energy system objects. It is likely that DniproGES has become one of the primary targets for these modified missiles. - RVvoenkor

    Over the past few days, our reconnaissance and missile forces have engaged in highly productive operations. The rear areas of the Kharkov region, where personnel and equipment were concentrated, have been ruthlessly obliterated with pinpoint accurate strikes.

    If the forest near the village of Borovaya was targeted the day before yesterday, our reconnaissance recently uncovered a training camp for Ukrainian militants near Chuguev.

    Without hesitation, we swiftly eliminated the threat on the spot. In just three days following the missile strikes, nearly a thousand Ukrainians have been killed or wounded, with casualties among the deceased not far behind those wounded.

    Russian operations continue unabated. - ISZ reports
