(1) It's Day 21 in Ukraine, time to start a new megathread:
(2) @thedrive: Ukraine Strikes Back: Barrage Leaves Russian-Occupied Kherson Airbase In Flames

Satellite images show multiple aircraft were destroyed in a Ukrainian attack on Russia's forward operating near Kherson.

(12) Ukrainian Hunting Report for March 16, 2022:

Troops: +300
MLRS: +6
Planes: +3
Helos: +5
Vehicles: +179
Tanks: +26
Artillery: +40
UAV: +2
APCs: +196

Troops: +300
Assets: +457 (Up from 80, March 15)
Air Kills: +10 (Same as March 15)

(13) The increase in Russian Assets captured or destroyed from 80-100 per day to 457 yesterday could be a game changer, if these types of daily hunts continue.

(14) Putin is a Narcissistic, Machiavellian Psychopath, but the Russian troops have plenty to answer for, too.

(15) Many more Air Defense Systems to be provided to Ukraine:
(16) US Senate reaches unanimous consensus regarding Putin the Psychopath and his war crimes.
(17) From the @KyivPost:
(18) From @RFERL: Restore Liberty!
rferl.org/a/russia-censo…
(19) Russian Hackers hack Russia!
rferl.org/a/russia-court…
(20) The resistance to the Russian invasion is angry, not fearful.
(21) Retired Australian Army Major General Mick Ryan, @WarintheFuture:

A fascinating insight into Chinese views of the Russian invasion of #Ukraine, and its implications for Chinese strategy.

uscnpm.org/2022/03/12/hu-…
(22) War Art From the Financial Times (@FT):
(23) Ukrainian Cat just wants to nap.
(24) Any peace talks should begin with Russia's payment schedule for reparations:
(25) From Freedom Report Myroslava Petsa:
(26) Another General leaves the chess board:
(27) News from the front; It is such a small world.
(28) The Ukrainian Armed Forces shot down at least the third enemy Su-34 (Fullback) over Chernihiv:

(29) @ArmedForcesUkr: An artillery unit of the 128th separate mountain assault Transcarpathian brigade fired on the pontoon crossing of the Russian Army in the combat zone. Video of enemy fire defeat.

(30) Popular Putin Meme, artist unknown:
(31) From @HannaLiubakova, Belarus
In Poland, it pains me to see that internal political struggles will put Belarusians in worse conditions than the Ukrainians. Lots of Belarusians fled the war. They are double refugees because they also fled their regime. They need your help.
(32) More from Freedom Writer Hanna Liubakova in Belarus:
(33) For NATO, watching the destruction of Kyiv is unforgivable. Russia must be stopped, and any treaty must begin with Russian reparations to Ukraine.
(34) Fears of Bayraktar TB2 and Javelin "down the hatch" attacks has Russian Tank crews putting box springs on their tanks.
(35) Money sounds fine, but it must become real on the battlefield, ASAP.
(36) More on Helo attack; note all the burning fuel.
(37) Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2 Legend Growing:
(38) The Bayraktar TB2 is nearly invisible in the night sky, except when it passes the unique light of a full moon.
(39) We are starting to see more Russian "V" group losses, in addition to the "Z" group losses.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President and C-in-C of Ukraine, sees it as a good omen. Of course his real initials are B3.

(40) With his words "Slava Ukraini", Zelenskyy has become the US Congress' great unifier

Just 2 years ago, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was at the center of impeachment proceedings that deeply fractured Republicans and Democrats in Congress...

independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
(41) News from the front:
(42) Russia is reaping contempt, not fear.
(43) Slava Ukraini:
(44) After three weeks of living in a steel box, eating from picked over garbage, without MREs, just rotting fruit, Russian infantrymen deserted their APC.

(51) Why give this information to the enemy? Why not tell them we are only sending toilet paper and aspirin?

$29M USD
₽2.9B RUB
(57) @ZelenskyyUa film for US Congress:
(58) Russian vehicle casualties marked "V" seem to be popping up all over:
(59) Seems like @MIL_STD's recommendations for Ukraine to get Switchblades might become a reality:
nbcnews.com/politics/natio…
(60) AeroVironment Switchblade 600 drone/missile hybrid:

(61) AeroVironment Switchblade 600 drone/missile hybrid:

- Endurance 40 min
- Link Range 40 km
- Cruise Speed 61 kts
- Dash Speed 100 kts
- Javelin Missile Warhead
- Builder also built NASA Ingenuity Martian Helicopter

(62) @IAPonomarenko: No one really expected it — but after three weeks of Russia’s all-out war, Ukraine’s air defense is still exceeding expectations:

kyivindependent.com/national/ukrai…
(63) @PavelLatushka, Belarus official:
Over the past 3h, ~30 fighter jets, transport planes & helicopters flew into the sky from #Belarusian airfields in Baranovichi, Gomel, Lida, Luninets. Six (6) missiles launched near the city of Kalinkovichi. Explosions heard in #Belarus.
(64) Just an exercise, so they say:
(65) @XSovietNews reports:
Don't know if all this is true but Twitter should not be labelling this exiled opposition leader "Belarus government official".
(66) @XSovietNews retorts:
(67) @XSovietNews retorts:
Dmitri Peskov says Biden calling Putin a war criminal is unacceptable and unforgivable rhetoric. (Also fact.)
(68) Russian supply trucks go boom, boom.
(69) Intentional Targeting of Women and Children:
(70) The Kh-31 (Russian: Х-31, X is Chi, NATO call name "Krypton") is a Russian Air-to-Ground Missile (AGM) carried by aircraft such as the MiG-29 or Su-27.

(71) A high profile Russian defector, we should encourage more Russians to act this way.

Signs on the news accomplishes little, defection can speak volumes.

bbc.com/news/entertain…
(72) Six sources of smoldering flames:

(73) Warning: this may be a mash-up.

(74) From Αποστολος (@aZG2y6KvH5oYCwF):
(75) After 3 weeks, the Russian Convoy strategy looks questionable.
(76) While Russia is paying a military cost, Ukraine's humanitarian cost cannot be overstated. Beautiful, historical and sacred cities lie in ruins.

Can the mighty really do nothing, or is their fear of nuclear war a convenient excuse?

(77) What happens to all these vehicles, if you derail a moving train?
(78) From Felix (@Stillett83):
(79) The Russians have not done such a good job protecting their convoy.
(80) There seems to be more to the Belarus bombing incident then we currently know. Wasting ordinance on exercises at this time makes no sense whatsoever.

Freedom Writer Hanna is watching this closely in Belarus.

(81) @ArmedForcesUkr: DURING MARCH 16, AIR DEFENSE OF UKRAINE DESTROYED AT LEAST 10 AIR TARGETS

(82) Russia adding more Close In Air Power:
(83) Russian Push to Kyiv from both North and from the East making little or no progress:
(84) Russia is making gains in the south as it commits atrocities against Mariupol:

(85) Freedom Write @myroslavapetsa, on Mariupol:
(86) Fires burn across Mariupol.
(87) A jewel of the sacred mother, is being ransacked by a psychopathic savage.
(88) What is this sadist trying to say to the world? How does this blasphemy against life comfort his mind?

I really don't care, but it must stop.

(89) @MIL_STD “2,000 Javelin, 1,000 light anti armor weapons, and 6,000 AT-4 anti-armor systems”.

6,000 AT-4s, Interesting.

(89) The AT4 is a Swedish 84 mm (3.31 in) unguided, man-portable, single-shot, disposable, recoilless smoothbore anti-tank weapon built by Saab Bofors Dynamics.

Variants:
HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank)
HEDP 502 (High Explosive Dual Purpose)
HP (High Penetration)
(90) Due to the forests, I think the Ukraine Armed Forces prefer a lighter, more portable weapon, since they must ambush attack at closer range. This may also help when fighting street-to-street.

(91) The Mi-17 Helos are a Multimission design, much like the US Sikorsky UH-60 Blackhawk. The choice of Helos was probably based on pilot experience.
(92) Russian soldiers continue to loot homes near Sumy:
(93) Battlefield Map updates form @JominiW:
(94) Ukrainian Hunting Report for March 17, 2022:

Troops: +200
MLRS: +2
Planes: +2
Vehicles: +45

APCs: +60

Troops: +200 (Down from +300, March 16)
Assets: +134 (Down from 456)
Air Kills: +2 (Down from 10)
(95) Ukraine did not sustain the very high numbers reported on March 16, 2022, but had a good day, compared to their 21 day averages:

(96) UK Thales Starstreak missiles confirmed to have reached the battlefield:
(97) Russian POWs speak voluntarily to CNN:
(98) Russian desertion noted. Perhaps its time for a pamphlet campaign.
(99) Russia still wants to make its interest payments on bonds, suggesting the Kremlin fears default. We need more SANCTIONS.

(100) @XSovietNews retorts:
"We decided to launch a genocide with a claim we were preventing one."
(101) @XSovietNews retorts:
Russian government orders hunt for sugar producers and suppliers who are allegedly manipulating the market and have caused empty shelves.
(102) War Art, from @KajStenvall:
(103) A small blessing for the children:
(104) @felschwartz, FT
“Many Russian generals are talking on unsecured phones and radios. In at least one instance…the Ukrainians intercepted a general’s call, geolocated it, and attacked his location, killing him and his staff.”

nytimes.com/2022/03/16/us/…
(105) @WSJ: In the two-day battle of Voznesensk, the military and local volunteers repelled much-better-armed Russian forces, who fled leaving behind tanks, rocket launchers and dead soldiers. “The Russians didn’t expect us to be so strong.”
wsj.com/articles/ukrai…
(106) @RALee85: According to the Governor of the Chuvash Republic, Gennady Pavlov, a contract servicemen with a spetsnaz unit in Moscow, possibly the VDV's 45th Spetsnaz Brigade or SSO, was killed in Ukraine.

(1) Decoding the RAV4 Sightings, Iteration 2:

Here is my summary of the RAV4 Sightings and closely related events. Please comment, as this is just Iteration 2 of a working theory. I will got through each step in this thread.
(2) Assumptions:

A. Non-perp witnesses mostly correct.
B. Rahmlow tipped Colborn before he was assigned to the case.
C. Ryan/Mike did see the RAV4 on Tuesday night.
D. RAV4 at pond during flyover, but police failed to find it.
E. Pam Sturm was told where to find the RAV4.
(S1.1) Avery/Dassey see Teresa with RAV4 across from the Maroon Van:

This is the starting point, and I drew it with a black background because it is a known and corroborated sighting.

Both Avery and Dassey claim to last see the RAV4 here.

(1) The Fox 11 News Copter filmed someone taking pictures of Steven Avery's burn pit for quite a while. Where are those photos?
(2) It's also amazing that the gentlemen standing around can't move their blooming asses so they aren't casting shadows on the crime scene.
(3) Were they standing where they were to block the news helo from getting a clear view of the burn pit?

They seem to be purposefully casting shadows directly on top of it.

(1) Decoding the RAV4 Sightings:

At first glance, the RAV4 witness statements don't tell a clear story, but can we develop a working theory to decode these RAV4 sightings?
(2) The main conflict is between Wilmer Siebert and Tom Sowinski:

- Siebert sees the RAV4 planted via the Salvage Yard conveyor road, while Sowinski sees it pushed into the yard from WI 147 via Avery Road.

- Siebert sees it running, while Sowinski sees it needing to be pushed.
(3) Because the RAV4 is running, it seems to me that Siebert's story must precede Sowinski's.

In fact, Siebert may have witnessed a failed attempt to get the RAV4 into the Salvage Yard. The RAV4 may have been left on conveyor road, where many HRD dogs later alerted.

(1) In his March 30th, 2006 police interview, SCOTT TADYCH places himself in the Janda/Dassey laundry room on the week Teresa disappeared.

He's questioned about this because he has had loose lips at work, casting suspicion on Brendan.
(2) SCOTT TADYCH's admission corroborates statements made by Steven Avery about SCOTT in his supplemental affidavit of Nov 14th, 2017.
(3) Steven swore under oath:

10. My work schedule at the salvage yard was from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Several times when I was at work, I noticed Scott Tadych enter the property in his green truck and proceed to Barb's trailer, where Bobby was at home.
