🧵'Go and have a blast. Tear out the gold teeth from corpses, loot and bring home whatever you want'. Together with @pustota, we found out that Dmitry Karavaichik, the 'Russian Walter White,' recently visited a prison to agitate convicts to sign contracts with the Russian MoD.
Image
In 2017, Karavaichik and his wife were sentenced to 17 and 16 years in prison, respectively, for producing and selling methamphetamine. Image
In 2022, Karavaichik joined the Wagner troops in Ukraine and received a pardon within six months, immediately signing a second contract after that. Image
Now he's touring the penal colonies to agitate among the prisoners to join the war. 'War is a chance of a lifetime. Plunder, kill, do as you please and get rich. Maybe you won't come back, but you'll have a blast to the fullest'. Image
Karavaichik's wife was also recently pardoned. He claims that he declined the 'Hero of Russia' title in exchange for her release from prison. severreal.org/a/rotonda-osuz…
Karavaichik himself nowadays is not just a former Wagner convict. In January he became the deputy director of the 'Leningrad Frontier' relief fund, headed by Leningrad Region Governor Alexander Drozdenko. en.kremlin.ru/events/preside…
The fund, which offers support to the region's mobilized servicemen and volunteers, was established with the assistance of Ilya Traber, a close associate of Vladimir Putin and a criminal mastermind from St. Petersburg in the 1990s.
Image
We were not able to independently verify the quotes from Karavaichik's agitation speech in the penal colony, but we have known our source to be credible for a long time. Karavaichik himself denies that he went there and agitated among convicts to join the war in Ukraine.
What is known for sure is that the 'Russian Walter White' now agitates among kids in school, telling them about his 'acts of bravery' in Ukraine. Sorry kids, no meth production recipes. vk.com/kurwak2?z=phot…

1/5 One of the Geran-2/Shahed-136 drones downed in Kyiv today had a catapult mount supplied by Chinese company less than 2 months ago, on 23rd of May. 46 days earlier, on April 9-11, the company, Suzhou Ecod Precision Manufacturing, took part in the St. Petersburg Technical fair. Image

3/5 Suzhou Ecod Precision Manufacturing was one of only two Chinese companies that took part in the St. Petersburg fair. The other one, Suzhou Hongyishan, specializes on 'standard and non-standard industrial parts, pneumatic and hydraulic components'. Neither of the 2 sanctioned. Image

Israel is really lucky that the Iranian rockets mostly hit modern apartment blocks for now. Bat Yam is something of an exception – that’s why there were so many casualties. But believe me, there are far more rundown apartment blocks in Bat Yam compared to the ones that were hit. Image
The pin marks where the modern apartment complex was hit in Petah Tikva last night. If the missiles had landed in the large red circle, it would have been a disaster. Around 50% of the buildings in such areas were built before the 1980s, with no protected rooms, thin walls, etc. Image
Just tap a random Street View to see for yourself. On the left: a building in Petah Tikva located a few kilometers from the modern one that was hit last night (on the right). Image

🧵Recently, Yandex blurred some additional military-related facilities on its satellite maps. It hasn't revealed any major surprises (yet), but it did lead me to yet another 'Pantsir' system installed in Moscow Oblast after Ukrainian drone attacks.
Some examples of the newly blurred objects (mostly military complex plants): x.com/wartranslated/… (source t.me/sotaproject/98…). I already found many more, but they're mostly well-known sites.
One well-known site that is now blurred is the missile storage facility for the A-135 (ABM-4 Gorgon), a Russian anti-ballistic missile system deployed around Moscow to intercept incoming warheads targeting the city and its surrounding areas. 55.625, 37.387 wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=5…Image

🧵1/6 As after every Ukrainian drone attack, my dynamic map of air defense systems installed in Moscow and the Moscow Oblast gains a few new entries, thanks to multiple enthusiasts like @jembobineuse and @Dmojavensis. The most recent addition is particularly interesting. 🔽 Image
2/6 The 'Flakturm', identical to the one we saw earlier (that the shorter and taller sections are swapped), was constructed in Bulatnikovo near Moscow 1.5 years ago, in September 2023. 55.557090, 37.664654 Image

1/3 Russian Maj. Gen. Jaroslav Moskalik, allegedly killed today near Moscow, took part in at least two Normandy Four format meetings: in 2015, when the infamous 'Steinmeier formula' was adopted, and on Dec. 9, 2019, when Volodymyr Zelensky met Putin in person for the first time. Image
2/3 Moskalik also took part in a visit by a Russian delegation to Damascus, where Putin’s special envoy Alexander Lavrentyev held talks with Syrian President Bashar Assad in 2018. Image

🧵A Russian diplomat, pressured to leave Brussels amid espionage allegations, has been nominated for a key role in the OSCE. Another 19 diplomats were expelled too, with open sources clearly showing their ties to Russian intelligence (and yes, they liked posting on Strava). Image
But first things first: meet Dmitry Iordanidi, a former deputy head of the @OSCE mission to Bosnia-Herzegovina with deep experience in the Balkans, who was nominated by Moscow to lead the organization’s mission to Serbia. Image
Image
Russia also nominated Iordanidi to head an OSCE program office in Kyrgyzstan’s capital, Bishkek, and for the same position in Kazakhstan’s capital, Astana. I think that falls under the ‘flood the field’ tactic.
