Whelp, it looks like the Putin Regime has realized it can't hide the humiliating loss of the Moskva and now Putin has decided to make lemonade out of the lemon flavored s--tburger Ukraine force fed his regime. 🧵

This may fix the short term Russian manpower problem.

1/
It will make the corruption-power sharing problems much worse for Putin as he tries to eat the corruption-based income streams of the Oligarchs & Generals to fund the war.

Those guys have no future in a wartime 'North Koreanized' Putin Regime & they know it.

This is where
2/
... the internal contradictions of the Russian Kleptocracy will start to tear the Putin Regime apart.

Kleptocracies are about money over power.

Thieves don't stop stealing while there is a war on.

1/
,@The_Tech_Son gives a video example of a Ukrainian ambush of a Russian Armored column here as an example of "Russian Tankers doing it wrong."

Look at the 8-wheel truck at the left side of the bridge in the video.

It has a folded crane.

The Russians actually have a crane truck at the right place setting up to help get the truck w/the wheel off the side of the bridge needing to be recovered

The ship was spotted off Sevastapol three days ago. That is about 300 km B.C. Odesa away. The Ukrainian Neptune missiles have a range of about 100 km. Recently, UK Harpoon deployed anti-ship missiles. Their range is 220 km.
1/
Before this latest invasion of Ukraine kicked off, Ukraine conducted tests of the Neptun / Kharpunski ASCM hitting a target at 280 km.

This Pre-invasion Ukraine coverage map-tweet will give you an idea what that range means.

Ukraine was on-course to have three batteries/Divisions of Neptune launchers with six four round launchers per battery/Division.
