"Rail Lines & Bridges"

Large or small, 100s of verified assets in the Russian near & in Occupied Territories.

MADE PUBLIC - Late March, early April 2022.

REASON - Open-source maps don't easily identify, nor detail bridges, culverts & chokepoints to cut RU logistics.

"Oily Stuff, Tank Farms & Depots, Things That Burn"

100+ critical assets to fueling the Russian war machine, physically & through revenue generation.

MADE PUBLIC - shortly after "Rail Lines & bridges"

REASON - AFU, DI & Territorial Defenses were busy defending Ukraine.
3/5 Image
"Grid Assets, Transformers & Traction Stations"

100s of critical assets, worth over $7 billion, unaffected by #sanctions, powering Russia's war machine.

MADE PUBLIC - September/October 2022

REASON - ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท drones proved extremely effective in destroying ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ's transformers.

CONCLUSION

RBGB's intel, provided to all defenders of ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ, are adaptations of on-the-ground recognized needs against resources readily available, but extremely time consuming to amass, for ultimately, an Armed Forces of Ukraine Victory!

Its claimed ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ GPS jamming is causing inconveniences for average Russians.

Frankly, I donโ€™t care, as long as Russians are inconvenienced and bear the cost of their war against Ukraine.

Tuapse reported UA drone strike to "oil depot".

The Tupase "oil depot" is a critical transloading facility on the Black Sea for crude oil and refined oil products.

Why not strike the FRTs - Floating Roof Tanks?

@davidhelms570 recently posted an image of primary shipping routes of the Black Sea. Unfortunately, I cannot locate it, but it shows Tuapse as a primary russian terminal in addition to Novorossiysk (which only has a crude oil tank farm, nor refinery capacity).
I let my excitement get the better of me, hoping for the best outcome, not the actual outcome.

The orange area is the site of the explosion/fire, not the green area. The area circled green in the photo, looks like reflection from water, but is grass reflecting the facilityโ€ฆ twitter.com/i/web/status/1โ€ฆ ImageImageImage

The simplistic solution to the relentless Russian logistics is to send ATACMS to hit deeper.

The unfortunate reality, my government and its calculus will not untie AFU's hands and allow US provided weaponry to hit targets inside Russia enabling this war to continue.
Related & worth criticism

On price cap...

"But the second goal, is one that concerns Americans & countries all around the world, and that is, we want to keep Russian oil flowing, because Russia is a significant supplier to the markets."

~Janet Yellen

These are 2 nuances within US policy worthy of critique, while not diminishing or attacking the overwhelming commitment & support we are providing to Ukraine, in a war having little effect on my day-to-day, but directly impacting Ukrainians immeasurably.

Both tie AFU's hands.

The 20+ most underappreciated/unrecognized power centers (literally) for the prosecution of Russia's war on Ukraine.

These are the workhorses of ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐ŸšŠlogistics & enable the delivery of more death to Ukraine than airbases in Engels or Kursh.

We'll never see ๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ images posted. ๐Ÿ˜ค
/2 Each Traction Station has at least two (2) high voltage step down transformers about the size of a Russian tank or MLRS, which go figure can't move or be hidden.

The giant tank full of oil mounted above them guarantees a destructive fire, more certain than oil/fuel tanks.
/3 TBH I deprioritized the southern Luhansk route, given the route via Luhansk (city) is not electric rail & crossings of the Siever Donetsk River are compromised.

However, everything, incl heavy Dragon's Teeth & shells enter via Likhovskoy - Ivanivka route.

These will be added

Foretold by @NATO about ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ attacks on ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ's energy sector...

"The physical destruction of expensive & bulk power equipment such as large power transformers (LPT) are not only expensive to replace but can take months to procure, manufacture, transport and install."
1/10
"An attack on the energy grid thus can cause cascading effects across all sectors of critical infrastructure that requires electric power with potentially devasting effects on modern economic activity, national security and well-being of society."

"Deliberate explosive demolition of transformer substations for military purposes in order to reduce the defense capacity of Ukrainian military units and depriving people in [Ukraine] of the possibility to [receive & send digital communications]."

Burn me if you want, but how much impact has the fellas & American influencers with their unsophisticated memes, platitudes & calls for ATACMS had on the actual battlefield to Ukraineโ€™s benefit?

Point me to towards real, tangible weapons systems delivery or Ru targets destroyed.
Show me where 1 less internet Vatnik bonked or aspirational platitude issued has benefited Ukraine and saved one Ukrainian from needless death or misery of Russian origin.

Or show me were more US or Eastern European aid/military support increased due to fellas pressure.
