Only by building this sort of narrative gives a clear hint about the scale of ukro losses.
No matter if the whole cover story is figured out or not, it must be somehow connected with the existing situation to be useful as a propaganda tool.

Well it's a unit created for the purposes of propaganda; the clue is in its name - the 'Buchi Witches'. A reference to the Night Witches unit of the Soviet Air Force in WW2. Strange reference for the Banderites to make but okay.
Point is to allow those women who do want to fight to have a place to do so, while also shaming more men into signing up. Same story going back to the women's battalion that the Provisional Government in 1917 set up, come to think of it.
The difference being that the Night Witches came to be quite effective at the missions they were assigned to do, while these 30-40 something y/o ladies have absolutely no value as infantry or whatever it is that they're supposed to be doing going by the video.
But knowing the Ukraine, for all we know they might start outright mobilizing women sooner or later.

So the main manager of terror attacks is on the way out, excellent timing for a move for him and family to enjoy the ill gotten gains which for someone in his position are probably substantial.
Yermak is positioning himself as the only real successor ;eft to his boss Zelensky.
The President's Office gave the order to purge information in the media about the reasons for Budanov's resignation; our source reported that the main goal of replacing the Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate is political struggle.
They have already started deleting articles in Ukrainian media who wrote about this reason, and not the controlled narrative of the Presidential Office about dismissal for unsuccessful operations. It is important for Andriy Yermak to take full control of the security bloc, which is why this issue is so important for Bankova.

Is he really gone? He is literally a CIA asset. That would further anger the USA and they could drop the Ukraine faster than they can shout Slava...

Bit of an unclear video of what actually happened but it looks like a whole pack of drone targets are out there just waiting to go bang.
The thermal camera is set to black showing hot, so the black things are exploding things or burning things or hot things like engines of trains.
It seems to show a train with a small platform in front of it... presumably sweeping the tracks ahead of the train for explosive devices. The train appears to get hit by an Iskander and the carriages burn and the lots of little black spots along the path of the train I would assume is exploding ammo from the train carriages.
And these Twitter propagandists are trying to spin this whole tragedy as something heroic
They are using Maxim machine guns from WWI... this is not good propaganda...
while these 30-40 something y/o ladies have absolutely no value as infantry or whatever it is that they're supposed to be doing going by the video.
Based on their use of Maxim machine guns I would say they are being used for anti drone and air defence duties...

Really good tactics.
IIRC, during the Serbian war, Serbs used light machine guns from helicopters to destroy NATO's expensive drones.
This Russian tactic takes drone warfare to a whole new level.

Shite. Like ten years ago or so I had the idea of launching small drones through the side door of a Mi-8.This Russian tactic takes drone warfare to a whole new level.
But launched automatically from a rack.
With a patent I could sue them...
Well, until lately they had no problem using power plants from the Soviet era.Strange reference for the Banderites to make but okay.
Or tanks.

I do fully support the complete decommunization of Ukraine. As Lenin said, communism is Soviet Power + Electrification. However, I don't think Putin should stop his decommunization efforts at electricity. As I have said earlier, any military installation or factory built, expanded, or restored from 1917 to 1991 should be reduced to rubble, something that Putin has made happen. Additionally, any government building, train station, airport, bridge, dam, nuclear power plant, public building, port facility or oil pipeline should be taken more or less permanently out of commission. Meanwhile, in areas that have been debanderatized, government buildings, industry, rail stations, electricty, and other faciliities need to be recommunized. When people see the pigs in Kiev and Lvov have food, electricity and heat, whores, and money for vacations to the Med and the Carribean and elsewhere and they see people in the "temporarily occupied" regions have heat, electricity, the right to vote etc, they will overthrow the Nazi Banderite regime.

Don't forget. Communist grain was consumed to produce their ungrateful biomass. They have to be decommunized of that as well. Return it to the earth so other worthier proles can make use of it.

They have located so many assets to create the "Bucha" bogus that they will beat it as a dead horse.
And don't expect any reasonable approach to this, it is being targeted towards a really undemanding crowd.

Well, the Russian economy is no longer dependent on oil and gas. The current prices of raw materials are not rising at all and the Russian economy is booming. If I'm not mistaken, it is currently one of the fastest growing economies in the world?

Except even with banning RT the truth is still getting through from some directions:
Ironically the US and EU rely on limiting access to the truth, while Russia benefits from the truth... if there were any real reporters left in the west it would be a slam dunk for Russia... Ironically.
It is no accident that the motto of America when America was great was truth and Justice... that is all... that was the American way. Now it is lies and propaganda and revenge...

Retarded NATzO propaganda trying to explain away Russia's economy as an oil and gas banana republic. Well, it is NATzO that has all the elements of a banana
republic collective. Just look at all the stooges in the EU flushing their economies down the toilet. Supposedly for the benefit of Uncle Scumbag, but more likely
in spite of him.
There should be a cartoon of NATzO "journalists" diving into a vat of their own shit which they have been dishing out for decades.

I wonder if the Kiev regime has anything left to try another Kursk stunt. I think they don't and this was their last try.
It is funny listening to "analysts" project the Kursk into some sort of epic operation that frustrated Russia's "offensive to end the war" that was supposedly about to start.
BS from end to end.

I'm always left with a smirk on my face every time they do. Or about how the Russian economy is going to go down the gutter any day now, or whatever.
They're still at it.
And I'm smirking every time because, I know these clowns all end up believing their own propaganda in the end. That's how they got into this situation in the first place, thinking that they'll sanction Russia to high heaven and elicit a revolution against Putin by economically ruined Russians while dealing it a defeat in the Ukraine. Because they bought into all their own caricatures of Russia as a gas station with nukes and Nigeria with snow and whatever.
And that all only works to Russia's favour. Because part of the Art of War is to know your enemy. And they clearly don't. They are entirely ignorant of Russian society, Russian motivation, the Russian economy, Russian military tactics, everything. And willfully ignorant. Because they are convinced that they know better and hold everything Russian in sovereign contempt
And in a war this is the most you could possibly wish of your enemy. To let their own arrogance get in the way of a very serious and deadly business. Long may it continue.

This is a really good demonstration of the blast effects of a thermobaric 3,600lb bomb (as opposed to the 'standard HE BB 2,000lb in Beirut). The impact would have been felt, with the associated dust clouds, for 100s of meters.The concussion suffered by many would have made them unable to do anything, let alone fight. This is what created WW1 shell-shock and nothing in the human body has changed on that front since then.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the total losses of personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in September 2024 amounted to 71,565 people.
The total losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces since the beginning of the year, according to reports, amount to 410,600 people wounded and killed.
It should be taken into account that the Ministry of Defense reflects in its reports the approximate losses of the enemy only on the line of combat contact, not counting the servicemen killed as a result of the use of Russian long-range precision weapons and aviation deep in Ukrainian territory.

Sure, but in the end this will hopefully save us from nuclear Armageddon. The west will declare vitory and leave. As always.Because they are convinced that they know better and hold everything Russian in sovereign contempt
This is far from the largets conventional bombs in Russias arsenal.This is a really good demonstration of the blast effects of a thermobaric 3,600lb bomb
