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.

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.

Engels airbase has been struck again it seems. Local channels reporting at least two explosions. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Imagine pretending to be a Superpower for half a century and your strategic bomber forces get bombed twice in a month.
Baza reports there are dead on location.

And large tg channel MIG shares this report from a local.

Another video has surfaced of the counteroffensive by 🇺🇦 on the very Eastern parts of Bakhmut.

One street North from the last video, this time a 🇺🇦 MBT is used to smash 🇷🇺 positions in the industrial area further East.

1/5
At 0:22 we see the 🇺🇦 tank moving East up the main street before taking up position and firing on the industrial buildings roughly 750m/2500ft away.

According to the source, an entire group of Wagner fighters were buried in rubble by the end.

2/5
It's unclear whether the helicopter barrages included in the footage are related or just editorial flair, but at 0:59 I'm almost positive I see an S-8 rocket streak by.

Nonetheless, this appears to be either before or after the MBT was in the area.

🧵I did a little digging on this because I’d seen some mention a few days back but figured it was a one off where some customs official/border guard had stolen the kit or wanted bribes to release it (this happens a lot on the RU/occupied Donbas border).

Spoiler: Not a one off.
On Nov 13th a small channel posted a document sent by a Colonel in the Federal Customs Service to the heads of the customs points on the Ussuri river border crossings between Eastern China and Russia
Dated Nov 10th, the letter warned that items such as body armor, plates, helmets, quadcopters, radios and NV devices were being moved across the border under the guise of civilian items such as fishing vests and toy walkie talkies.

Occupied Sevastapol has been under attack by what appears to be an extended Ukrainian drone strike for almost an hour now.

Additional explosion were reported a few minutes ago . twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Confirmed territory changes in Kherson in the past 24 hours, visualised.
The last frame is a very conservative picture of what is currently happening on the ground, showing only geolocated movements. This footage normally lags operations by at least 12-24 hours.

There are very credible reports 🇺🇦 has made it as far as Chornobaivka this evening.
For example, when we finally received footage of Ukrainian troops in Balakliya back in September, Ukraine was already dozens of kms beyond that.

Tomorrow will be incredible.

Russian troops have chaotically accumulated at the available crossing points and Ukraine are absolutely hammering them.

Rumours and audio clips have been circulating on local channels all evening but Russian sources are now reporting them same.

@RealCynicalFox I believe this is what you were waiting for
