πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ At the 15th month, military officers of PMC "Wagner" are breaking the almighty sacred values of the Russian Armed Forces, openly naming the units that are retreating from the front line. And generally recognizing the fact of retreat. Image
Prigozhin chose a win-win tactic: to use public outcry and put pressure on the Russian Defense Ministry through the public, simply by telling the truth. It may go as far as mentioning individual officers and servicemen who leave the occupied sectors of the front.
It is clear that compared to them, the PMCs look like heroes. And in general, in terms of the effectiveness of the conduct of hostilities, the assault detachments of PMCs are in many ways superior to their colleagues in the shop.
After all, all this criticism is aimed at the existing structure and bureaucracy of the Ministry of Defense. And in the Russian state, bureaucrats have been developing for decades the practice β€œthe more you are criticized, the better your work.”
In any case, coverage of such issues is needed - we really hope that this will force military officials to do something (and not react for show).

Just curious: what's next? What will happen as a result of the loosening of the bureaucracy?

πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ There was an explosion at the Swedish military factory in Karlsborg yesterday afternoon. According to media reports, the accident occurred already at the stage of equipment maintenance, one person was injured.
apnews.com/article/sweden…
The plant in Karlsborg is owned by the Norwegian-Finnish defense holding Nammo, engaged in making small-caliber ammo for various small arms.

Nammo is one of the largest European manufacturers of various types of shells and ammunition for Ukraine.
At the same time, even such a large company does not have enough resources and capacities to fulfill the wishes of Kyiv customers, who ask for 250,000 155 mm shells every month.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ The mass UAV strike continues to be repulsed by all available forces and means. Tonight will probably go down in history as the most wide-scale use of anti-drone weapons to protect the Russian Federation.
It is also unfortunate that several dozen drones were launched from the territory of the Russian Federation - including aircraft-type drones.
A week ago, the Internet complained that it was impossible to order a normal taxi in Moscow due to a malfunctioning GPS. As shown today and will be seen from the results of last night, such measures are fully justified.

North of Avdiivka, soldiers of the 132nd Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces (formerly the 3rd Gorlovka Brigade of the DPR) have advanced west of Novobakhmutivka in recent days, completely clearing the settlement of AFU presence.
