Quick🧵There's actually a change on the ZNPP satellite imagery taken on July 5th and published by @planet: new objects appeared on the 4th power unit's roof since July 3rd. https://t.co/qCH0WlSsAh
No such objects can be spotted on any imagery since the start of the war and even earlier. Roof of the power units III and IV are exactly the ones allegedly mined by Russians, according to UA General Stuff. t.me/GeneralStaffZS…
Here's a historical 2017 video of the roof of the power unit IV. No objects like those seen on the July, 5th 2023 satellite imagery can be observed.
Stills. I'm not an expert and the resolution is not enough to judge, but it may be some EW devices, which Russia likes to install on the roofs so much. An access for @iaeaorg experts is needed, or at least better quality imagery.

At least this means that Ukraine's and @iaeaorg concerns about these specific locations on ZNPP are totally justified.

🧵/ link in the last tweet. Many of you have seen these Russian fortification lines on satellite images and maps. Thanks to Russian soldiers taking selfies there, together with @pustota, we can now show you how they look from the ground. Image
You can see a camouflaged Soviet 100-mm MT-12 anti-tank gun and the ammo boxes. Some 'dragon's teeth' are visible in the background. This allows us to geolocate this photo to the N-E of Tokmak, less than 30 km from where the Ukrainian offensive is underway (47.31786, 35.84679) Image
Here's how this exact part of the Russian fortification line looks on the @planet satellite image: Image

My personal opinion is that one can't "blow up" the dam like this in the middle of the night with no one noticing a sound. Russians are definitely responsible for the deterioration of the dam, but I seriously doubt they "blew it up". Also, no one will actually benefit from it.
Preventing Ukrainian landing? Come on, even Russia probably was not so stupid to think that the left bank is doomed already after a few hugely exaggerated Ukrainian recon operations involving the small islands and dumps.
Maxar imagery taken shortly before the dam collapsed is only showing that its condition was already deteriorating quickly.

Russian MoD published the video of alleged Ukrainian maritime drones attack on Russian project 18280 "Ivan Khurs" SIGINT intelligence collection ship. The attack claimed to have happened in Turkish Exclusive Economic Zone, 400 kms from the Ukrainian shore. @CovertShores
That's not the first time "Ivan Khurs" makes the news: back in 2020 while conducting routine operations in the North Arabian Sea, the US Navy’s Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Farragut (DDG 99) had a close encounter with this Russian ship. navaltoday.com/2020/01/13/vid…

There were 2 drones which flew from different directions. 1st one caused some fire, second one didn't. Check the clock: 1st one is 2.27, 2nd one 2.43. The video with the people climbing the dome is indeed the 2nd drone (no fire caused). Image
Sources: 2.27 AM video: tvc.ru/news/show/id/2…; 2.43 AM video: t.me/KlymenkoTime/9…
Video with people climbing also was filmed by CCTV (and the guy just filmed the playback on a screen, so it doesn't say anything about him being prompted to start recording by the 1st drone - but the Spasskaya tower clock on TVC video confirm that this was indeed the 2nd drone).

🧵1/6. I precisely geolocated this train derailment in Bryansk oblast, Russia, and can show you the aftermath as it was caught nearly live by Planet.com satellite imagery.
⬇️
2/6 First, I geolocated the repair works video which was published today (t.me/telerzd/3027), thanks to the YouTube video filmed from a train and uploaded 8 months ago (). 52.848286, 32.717822 Image
3/6 This is the only place east of the Unecha station where wires cross the tracks. After this point, a line of three parallel wires starts on the right side. Also, in the video, you can see a sign that says '136 km,' which matches the official reports.(t.me/belta_telegram…). Image
