Since COVID-19 has kept the major archives closed or so limited in access they might as well be. This thread is an examination of an on-line source of primary sources here:

Ordnance, Explosives, and Related Items
bulletpicker.com
The bulletpicker.com collection went public in late May, 2016 and has a huge number of ordnance, small arms, and defusing related items.
The library section is the heart of the site and it covers WW2 UK, US, Australian, and technical intelligence by those powers on German, Italian and Japanese ordnance, engineering and small arms.
You can find the US Navy Bomb Disposal school section here: bulletpicker.com/us-navy-bomb-d…

It is very comprehensive in coverage of WW2 bomb disposal.
The Technical Intelligence Summaries are a WW2 Australian military product covering 1943 - 1945 era weapons, bombs & mines.
bulletpicker.com/technical-inte…
The War Department documents section covers WW1 era heavy ordnance.
bulletpicker.com/ordnance-docum…
The site is an easy peezy lemon squeezy primary source reference.

Check it out.

What Ms. Tchakarova is referring to here Russian Reflexive Control information warfare techniques.

I've talked about it quite a bit during the Russo-Ukrainian War and how adherents of "Escalation Management" like @jacksullivan46 and Chancellor Scholz have been captured by it
1/
@PhillipsPOBrien had a nice substack column about the effectiveness of Russian Reflexive Control back in March of this year.

2/
This particular passage from Timothy L. Thomas 2004 paper on the subject shows how Russia's Reflexive control infowar mapped & fed to each specific US tribal & professional demographic the data to get the message Russian wants those groups to believe.

This explains the "Imperial Japanese Army at Saipan" behavior of wounded Russian soldiers killing themselves with grenades to prevent capture by Ukrainians.

Russian Mobiks are being ideologically conditioned to kill themselves, like IJA troopers were in WW2.

Russian Death Cult🧵
1/
There are multiple videos like this Russian ideological self-harm conditioned behavior surfacing.

2/
This ideological conditioning is being reinforced to Russian troops by their commanders.

There are still Western military officers -- including most flag ranks -- watching videos like the one below and denying FPV and other cheap DJI drones have fundamentally changed the way wars on the ground are fought.

Drone War🧵
1/7
A year ago Ukraine had 10,000 drone operators, one per 100 troops

It has trained far more since then.

In fact, the AFU has created a military drone branch co-equal to infantry and artillery branches.

2/7
In some forward areas there are now as many Ukrainian drone operators as infantry because FPV drones have all but replaced crew served infantry weapons.

The people on X saying Ukraine couldn't use ATACMS in the counter-battery role against Russian tactical ballistic missiles were shills, toadies, and trolls.

No one who was at all reality-based would have said anything so stupid.

"WHEN THE GODS OF ARTILLERY MAKE A POINT"🧵
1/
2016 article at the link titled in english "WHEN THE GODS OF ARTILLERY MAKE A POINT" makes clear Ukraine had a very tight intelligence/surveillance/reconnaissance kill chain between its Spetsnaz and it's Tochka-U TBM & 300mm MLRS batteries.

2/
 petrimazepa.com/goddot.html
These Spetsnaz teams spotted 120km Tochka-U & 90 km Smersh fire strikes to clear a "Fire corredor" maneuver lane for these OMG operations during the 2014-2015 ATO.

This was pre-ATO (2014) Ukrainian military doctrine used during the ATO.

What this Russian chemical feedstock for explosive production supply issue @Schizointel tells us about in his post below...⬇️

Russian Explosive Supply Chain🧵
1/
...means that the Russian TogliattiAzot ammonia production facility just became a priority target for Ukraine's OWA-drone strategic bombing campaign.

The distance by car between Kharkiv, Ukraine and Tolyatti, Russia is 982 km.

2/
Image
It's less by air for a Ukrainian OWA-drone.

And since it was made with Western loans, there is insurance data in the West detailing the lay out of the plant for precision OWA-Drone strikes.

That's an example of the weakness of Soviet Union/Russian "one big plant" industrial infrastructure.

Just...Finally!!!

Russian electrical railway substations are the key transportation infrastructure powering 70% of Russia's freight & passenger locomotives.

This is hard to replace long lead item (months) electrical infrastructure.

AFU Strategic Bombing 🧵
1/

Systematic targeting of these electrical facilities powering the railways within 200 km of Ukraine's 1991 border with Russia will logistically isolate the RuAF frontline units in Ukraine from 70% of rail supply.

Russia simply lacks the low level integrated air defenses after two years of attrition in occupied Ukraine to prevent this.

_IF_ Ukraine goes after this target set with a will.
