This strike on School no.19 in occupied Makiivka is tearing apart the 🇷🇺 milbloggers.

They were promised 🇺🇦 would be destroyed on 01/01/23 and instead all 45 Shaheds were intercepted and Ukraine vaporised 100s of mobiks in their sleep.

Short 🧵of highlights w/ links.
Solid intro.

t.me/akimapachev/35…
Readovka, normally a channel that tows the official line 99% of the time, confirms it was a HIMARS strike. "A crime" they describe the decision to house soliders there as.

t.me/readovkanews/5…
Alexander Sladkov is a little more measured (Sladkov is about as establishment as it gets) and says if the MoD weren't so cheap, they would build concrete bunkers to house soliders.

t.me/Sladkov_plus/6…
Daniil Bessonov, press officer for the so-called DPR, laments that 🇷🇺 command still aren't taking HIMARS seriously. Lots of finger pointing (which triggered many, see below). Big fan of bunkers too.

t.me/NeoficialniyBe…
Beautiful reaction to Bessonov's post.

Popular channel familiar to anyone that's followed russia for any length of time will know, ColonelCassad/Boris Rozhin. Lessons learned, etc.

Last one for now. This time St. Petersburg based "journalist" Evgeni Norin.

There are many, many, many more but I think those are the funniest so far. Some more examples anyway.
Ok one last semi interesting one, only because it's from Anastasia Kasherova, a Channel One TV host.

None of this stuff is new. They've even talked about similar things on Rossiya-1 and other mainstream outlets before. But boy are they seething this time

t.me/akashevarova/5…
This one actually seems to be semi-conscious. Shame they'll be back to cheering civilian murders tomorrow.

t.me/nenubesit/775
War criminal and terrorist Igor Girkin woke up and decided to piss off every russian channel by admitting casualties are in the 100s on his VK page.

How far up shit creek is the russian army in 2023?

Well volunteers are having to manufacture Kontakt-1 analogues to supply to russian tankers.

A short thread 👇 ImageImage
I've come across two russian channels/volunteer groups who have been manufacturing and supplying ERA to russian tankers since at least February of this year.

The first was "¡No Pasaràn!" run by an guy in Kaluga who does the best fascist Santa Claus impression I've ever seen. ImageImage
The second is Andrey Anatolyevich, admin of "In Light of Events" and "Politics without Pictures" on Telegram and VK.

Note the Russian Tank Troops flag center and the so-called DPR flag on the right. Image

Flooding on the highway from Oleshky heading East.

6km away from where the Dnipro river banks normally are.

46.61569, 32.79130, geolocation in 2nd tweet.
This area was expected to flood in some of the worst case modelling @Cornubot ran on the scenario last October. Video location in red. Image

For lovers of 🇷🇺 MoD and Wagner drama;

Prigozhin just published a report and images of the mining of their exit route from Bakhmut and subsequent attack on them by the 🇷🇺 72nd Brigade. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Prigozhin's press service just released a video of the russian officer responsible.

In the aftermath of the drone strikes on Moscow, Wagner-linked GREYZONE posted such a rant against Ru MoD, that many of their followers started calling them Khokhols and suggested they had been hacked.

Some highlights. It gets better as it goes on👇
Right out the gate admitting stories about strikes on “decision making centres” yesterday are absolute fantasy by Shoigu and part of a predictable and ongoing PR campaign to distract from continued attacks in Belgorod Image
Ukrainian air defence is much stronger than russian officials will admit. Zero evidence of any breakthroughs yesterday.

“Shoigu and his department of degenerates” couldn’t even list what targets were supposedly struck. Image

Fascinating interview with Ukrainian Air Force Brigader General, Serhii Golubtsov.

Covers F-16s, JDAMS, Storm Shadows and everything in between. Worth a full read but some highlights below; Image
1.
The F-16 meets Ukraine's strategic requirements; Multi-role and capable of using a wide array of NATO country weapons. AIM-120 air to air missiles will be enough of a threat to force russian fighters and bombers much further back from the border.
2.
3 or 4 squadrons (48-64 F-16s) will be enough to cause russia to abandon its current air strike campaign in one given area.

Occupied Luhansk is burning for the first time in a long time.

Milbloggers seem convinced Storm Shadow is already at play.
Additional images ImageImageImage
Some Ukrainian and Russian channels are stating there were two impacts - one at a fuel tank farm in the South of the city, and one at the Poly-Pak factory that the Russian army was using to store/repair equipment. Image
