Safe to say Azerbaijan sees a business opportunity at Russia's expense. What's even worse for Russia is that this war has really reduced their standing on their own region.

All bets are off and no targets are off limits when your enemy starts firing ballistic missiles into your cities in my view.

I wonder how much the accusations about Syrski playing deadly games with major units to punish them factored into him being gone?

I feel like this was more of a situation of Syrski having Zelenski's ear over Federov. Those two don't get along, and Federov is more focused on the war rather than political maneuvering so he ignores Syrski. Syrski convinces Zelenski to oust Federov, and then reality comes out and shatters Syrski's narrative that he had Zelenski believing. A tale as old as time in government, military, and corporations. The battle between those focused on the mission, and those focused on political power.

Looking like a good choice.

Taking out the trash



On the evening of July 20, in the temporarily occupied territory of the Zaporizhzhia region, agents of the volunteer unit "Budanov's Detachments" destroyed the Russian war criminal Roman Vnukov with the call sign "Batman". The villain was shot in his own car with a PM pistol with a silencer.

Vnukov was an officer of the 5th separate motorized rifle brigade of the 1st army corps of the "DPR" and a figurehead of the "Myrotvorets" base. Previously, he participated in the terrorist groups "Oplot" and "Shield of Donbas", carrying out "cleanups" and "filtration".

During the full-scale invasion, "Batman" engaged in the torture of civilians, the forced deportation of Ukrainians, and their exploitation in slave labor.

"The Russian retailer Wildberries has officially introduced a category for military equipment called "Everything for the SVO." This category currently lists 228,322 different products.

For example, Wildberries sells: fiber optic spools with optocouplers for drones, payload release mechanisms for drones, specialized drone modules, interference-resistant antennas and navigation receivers for combat drones, thermal imaging cameras adapted specifically for light aircraft, electronic warfare tools, portable anti-drone detectors, firing pin devices for igniting munitions during drone drops, and much more.

Still any questions about why these warehouses are being attacked?"

Shouldn't be hauling material that could be useful to the Russian military...

Define "a lot". I see single digits. And they're not even in their trucks. Sooooo….

Dual purpose goods are open season. I'll become concerned about Ukraine taking out trucks shipping dual use goods and logistics hubs when Russia stops leveling cities, dropping missiles on apartments, and hunting civilians with drones.

Didn't the orcs start disguising their fuel trucks as civilian trucks? This would be an expected consequence of doing so

Seems like that $400 mil isn't ever going to be released (assuming Durbin is on the up and up).

Brought this up as a possibility a couple of weeks ago and looking like it may transpire. Only chance Russia has to salvage their "SVO" and subjugate Ukraine politically as desired total victory in which they take Kyiv via Chernihiv. Needless to say that something of this nature would be a true human wave assault undertaken with the willingness and intent to stack tens upon tens of thousands of their own dead and raze everything in their path. Would be on par with the bloodiest Soviet battles of WW2, IMO.

Hope Russia thinks better of it.

There have been reports that Russia started to use horses again.

From what we've seen the past couple of years, do we think they care? I wouldn't put it past Russia to give everyone a grenade and a sharp stick, and send them in waves until Ukraine runs out of bullets.

My question is how they'd manage to amass the troops, transports, and armor without it getting wiped out well on the other side of the Russian border.

I think the orcs need to revisit fire suppression in their building codes and inspection phases.
