Russian special military operation in Ukraine #55

Christian religious terrorism is a tiny fraction of Islamic terrorism. Some people doubt whether it exists at all.

Blackness at night and no power for trains/industry etc is rapidly closing in as Russia starts to act like the US.

You couldn't make this up

Do they mean bombs or what?

LOL

cheaper then a divorce I guess.

Is that the Koalitsiya in action? Wiki says 80km for the rocket assisted rounds, so that may be conservative or maybe they were able to use prevailing winds at high altitude.

This war needs to end soon. For both Russia's and Ukraine's sake.

At this rate Russia and Ukraine will end up destroying each other while the West laughs in the sidelines.

Abandoned T90M?

In two days nonintensive striking campaign, Russkie took down 80% of Ukro power generation.
They really didn't bother much.
The sole reason why there is any electricity left, is because it is being sent from Romania and Poland.
But it won't last long, even if they have made some underground cables that connect grids, this power supply must "emerge" on the surface somewhere on the Ukro side of the border.
Toast that transformation station/s and we can say daswidanya.

About the drone strike on Yelabuga and Nizhnekamsk

This morning, Ukrainian formations carried out a multi-drone attack on the Republic of Tatarstan. Specifically, the cities of Elabuga and Nizhnekamsk came under attack.

One of the drones, visually resembling a converted A-22 light aircraft, hit a dormitory next to a plant in the Alabuga special economic zone. There are people injured.

Another device was suppressed by electronic warfare equipment over Nizhnekamsk, but it fell on the territory of the Taneco oil refinery, hitting one of the installations. The fire was extinguished within 20 minutes.

The drones were launched from the border areas of the Kharkov and Sumy regions and they covered a distance of over 1200 km , flying at low altitude over the western part of Russia. This is the first attack by Ukrainian Armed Forces drones in Tatarstan.

The purpose of the attack is obvious. In addition to refineries, attacks on which have become increasingly frequent in recent weeks, the Ukrainian Armed Forces intended to hit a plant, which in the West is called the Shahed UAV production complex.

It is unclear what specific type of UAV was used. But with a high degree of probability, these are the same drones that were recently used to attack an oil refinery in the Leningrad region . And they are produced at the complexes of the Antonov plant, which easily fulfills power steering orders.

Why such enterprises are still functioning is a rather interesting question. Maybe people in high places still think that Ukrainian UAVs are unable to cover such distances, but this has not been the case for a long time. Examples of recent attacks are illustrative.

Why weren't the drones shot down? Also a very good question. There are plenty of systems to counter low-flying targets. The same Ukrainian formations effectively use mobile rifle squads and anti-aircraft guns to shoot down Geraniums.

Failure to understand the imminent danger from such raids is fraught with consequences. And the sooner we understand this, the better we will cope with the coming attacks.

This means heavy security checks on all pilots and just outright grounding them if needed. 

But that´s exactly what the west wants to achieve with this stunts, to disrupt
normal life in Russia.
Banning all private light aircraft from flying because one or two were or could
be used in such terror strikes would be an overreaction.
