Loads of nice photos and videos in Saturday's thread and how there seems to have been a #Russia-#Africa plot to deny missile strikes, but Russia's MoD messed up!

Who doesn't like a bit of alliteration? And here are some sweet Sunday sounds to start your day.
Less than 20km north of #Henichesk in #Kherson region there was a big explosion, then many, many more in the village of #Rykove as #Russia's weapon/ammo store there went up in smoke!

The biggest event overnight happened in #Russia's #Krasnodar region.
Drones hit the Afipsky Oil Refinery and a fire soon took hold, although it's since been extinguished; no-one was hurt.
About 150km from the front, that's less fuel helping Russia kill Ukrainians.

1. Obvious lies cause even the great KGB liar to choke up. IMO other than for projection and deflection of Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians, I'm at 90% certain it's a false flag is to justify the movement of Russian air defenses to Moscow. Why? Because it's undefended.
2. If you view the Russian democratic partisans' attacks on #Belhorod as reconnaissance-in-force, and then overlay the actual deployment of Russian forces based around Moscow, it would not be hard to imagine that Putin fears Moscow could be the target of an offensive.
3. First, the sheer size of the Russian force deployment to Ukraine is staggering. It has be the bulk of the entire Russian ground force. They've burned up most of their serviceable armor and the pilots needed for air support are being killed in deadly Storm Shadow strikes.
Any military operation that has been expected for months usually fails because the opponent has had plenty of time to plan a defence. Most successful operations are surprise operations, but not all surprise attacks work against a prepared opponent.

Expected attacks can work if there's overwhelming force. An example is #DesertStorm.
Example of successful surprise operations: #PearlHarbor, The #Incheon Landings in the #KoreanWar, #OperationUranus at #Stalingrad in October 1942 that encircled the #German #SixthArmy.

An example of a failed attack because there was no surprise in it was #OperationCitadel at the #BattleofKursk in June 1943. The expected line of attack was obvious to everyone because of the disposition of troops.

1⃣#Russie. Cette photo montre à nouveau le corps des volontaires Russes.
Elle aurait été prise ce soir, sous le panneau d'entrée du village de Gogolevka dans l'oblast de #Kursk.

2⃣Pendant ce temps, à #Belgorod, deux explosions viendraient d'avoir lieu. Les chans Telegram pro-Russe parlent d'une attaque au drone.
3⃣Si ces éléments sont vérifiés, alors nous pourrions être en présence d'une tactique de harcèlement: attaquer, se retirer avant l'arrivée des renforts Russes et minimiser ses pertes. Recommencer à quelques km.
31/ More footage of Russian helicopters deploying decoys while flying low over residential areas in #Belgorod. Zero fs for civilian population.
32/ Russian armed forces are being deployed towards the conflict area in #Belgorod. Helicopters and armoured vehicles. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
A Ukrainian source reported that elements of 2 spetsnaz brigades of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (GRU) have deployed to border areas of #Kursk Oblast in #Russia to conduct counter-sabotage activities & provocations. (1/5) twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2/ The Ukrainian Resistance Center stated on May 19 that the 3rd and 22nd Guards Special Purpose brigades have deployed to Tyotkino, Kursk Oblast to prevent cross-border Ukrainian partisan activities, carry out cross-border provocations, and raise the morale of Russian forces.
3/ ISW has previously assessed that such Russian deployments to border areas are likely an attempt to fix a portion of Ukrainian forces to border regions and disperse them from critical frontline areas.

In the southern #Russia republic of #Ingushetia there's a shootout between police + rebels.
The region has a history of insurgency. The FSB says militants barricaded themselves inside a building in Malgobek
It's linked to an attack last week when 2 police officers were injured.

Yesterday started with attacks on #Odesa/#Odessa but was generally quiet in military terms.
But lots of other stories as Germany admits shame at not helping Ukraine earlier, Moscow's Church continues to be driven out + more 🇷🇺corruption. Review it here:

#Russia's losses in the last 24 hours are interesting. While troop deaths remain in the 500-650 range we've seen for the past 2 weeks, look at the number of artlliery systems/MLRS destroyed.
These are significant figures. New western donations having an effect?
