Looks like they hit a gas line attached to the bridge as well.

To be fair, Putin had a LOT of assistance in this country pushing the narrative that it was NATO and the West that started this war. On the other hand, I don't think any of them were even delusional enough to suggest that active hostilities were started by NATO. That's just dumb.

Amazing. I wonder if they went after the rest.

This could be bad for Russia if what this AFU soldier said is fair widespread.

Due to the impossibility of comprehensive logistical support, the enemy loses the opportunity for full fire control of the contact line, which allows our forces to regain previously lost positions.

Today, at a depth of 40 km, I didn't encounter a single enemy vehicle, which is very encouraging.

Just saw that the Russia/Ukraine war has now lasted longer than World War I.

Russia is constructing bases near Finland to eventually house tens of thousands of troops. This has definitely captured NATO's attention.

"While Russia remains totally bogged down and suffering high attrition in Ukraine with little chance of moving masses of troops to the Arctic at the moment, concern over the future has spurred NATO to bolster its presence along the Finnish border. Having moved to a wartime economy during the full-on conflict with Ukraine, Russia could leverage that in a post-Ukraine war future to threaten NATO's borders."

Translation:

"What would the removal of Elvira Nabiulina mean for ruSSia?

If confirmed, it would mean that Putin has definitively aligned himself with the ultra-hawks of the inner circle, namely: Patrushev, Bortnikov, Belousov, Chemezov, Volodin.

It would mean the end of any semblance of economic rationality and the irreversible shift toward a total mobilization economy. It would mean the complete marginalization of the pragmatists and realists still present within the apparatus, including Mishustin. It would be the end of every mediation internal to the apparatus itself.

It would mean the triumph of ideology over economic and macroeconomic rules, with the entire production system converted to war mobilization. In other words, it would be the weaponization of the entire Russian economy, regardless of any internal costs that may arise from it. Including the nationalization and confiscation of assets and private patrimonies, including the private savings of ordinary citizens (perhaps above certain thresholds).

It would mean the uncontrolled printing of money to finance unlimited military spending, resulting in the creation of a monstrous inflationary bubble, fictitiously contained by the State's absolute control over the microeconomy (production, prices, and consumption) and to the resort to extreme autarky.

It would mean a return to a planned economy, to the rationing of consumer goods, to labor conscription, to controls on exports and imports. It would mean the general impoverishment of the population, strangled by total police control and brutal and unlimited repression. It would mean that the regime has placed itself at the crossroads between victory and self-destruction. With extreme consequences.

There's insistent talk of a mobilization this autumn. And mobilization is an integral part of this scenario, which I personally find very likely."

From a Russian:

Quote:

According to available information, the enemy has begun final preparations for the start of an offensive on the Zaporizhia front.

Enemy reconnaissance is using all available technical capabilities to search for and identify the location of our communication facilities, conducting reconnaissance of the area, and moving a significant number of UAV units to the rear of the occupied part of the Zaporizhia region, with the aim of ensuring a large advantage in forces and organizing a wide "kill zone".

We anticipate the following nature of the enemy's actions: efforts are being made to isolate the theater of operations. Given the ongoing attacks on the land corridor to Crimea, which is also used for supplying our troop grouping (this is the main reason for the attacks on the corridor), the enemy will strive to completely or as much as possible partially block the corridor.

Taking advantage of the temporary window of opportunities arising due to the difficulties in supplying our troops, the enemy will attempt a breakthrough with the most combat-ready units.

They will rely heavily on the speed of the offensive and will break through to the roads, thereby avoiding protracted and heavy battles. They will attempt to isolate strongpoints and populated areas rather than engage in battles for them.

The column will be updated.

Whether this is correct or not remains to be seen.

Russia's animal behavior traces back to this.

"The deliberate brutality of Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine has raised a debate about its origins. Were killings such as the 2022 Bucha massacre "casual savagery," as one commentator put it? Or did they derive from an ancient, underlying assumption in Russia that conspicuous cruelty is a necessary weapon of war?"

"Perhaps ever since the Mongol invasions of the 13th century, the Russian attitude has been conditioned to the idea that overwhelming violence - fire and sword, terror, mass rape, looting, pointless torture - is natural if not essential in combat."

Well...attack from either flank then.

BTW, these drones only have 15-30 min of endurance so if this drone is a "waiter", then they know something is very close.
