Watched House of Dynamite.

My opinion in my replies. Image Fantastic film. Perhaps the best of the modern era in terms of nuclear war fiction. Invoking the plot lines of a number of many prior films without actually drawing them to their full conclusions.

That said, I felt there were several major problems.

Russian losses to Operation Pautyna/Spiderweb.
An ongoing thread as updates are added.
1/ Image Belaya Airbase.
Three Tu-95 destroyed.
One TU-22M3 destroyed.

SAR does not give enough detail to determine any damage to additional airframes in imagery, or to the extent.

Key points:
64.8% of the warehouses of Toropets Northeast are gone. By destroyed, most are mere craters now.

The 24.5% of warehouses damaged but still relatively intact will need to be rebuilt, many from the ground up and are likely unsafe to use.

1/ The remaining bunker/warehouses still operable are surrounded by twisted ruins with doubtful electricity, infrastructure and rail (likely crippled post-attack).

Will Russia rebuild? Likely. They've shown stubborness to. But we are talking years to return to prior condition.

🧵What I remember most about learning of the attack was how everything that'd been a slow grueling grind of expediting info & processing for several weeks came to an abrupt halt. Those trying to get out of the city had to go elsewhere.

It was a cruel end to a horrible month.
1/ I had felt that with so many people and US troops in one place that it was risky; something could happen. One last ISIS-K or Taliban punch. Anything.

At least 182 people - Afghans, Americans, Brits - died. God knows how were maimed.

Thread for April 14, 2024 on the fight between Iran and Israel.

Below is an IAF post showing 🇮🇱 F-15Is including aairframes 263 and 246 of 69 Squadron "Hammers" out of Hatzerim AB.

1/ As it stands, Biden has made clear any "offensive" actions against Iran would not involve the US, severally limiting Israel's potential response.
