    On a proper website instead of dogshit ones:



    I do have to say that this was absolutely beautiful looking kaboom, I love how you can see the sound moving towards you

    Shame it wasn't during the day like one in Beirut

    Oh and yeah, that whole place is gone, anyone saying otherwise is eating copium flavored shit

    In total, it was an explosion with a power of several to several dozen kilotons.

    I am hearing some 300 rockets were taken out, Putin has got to respond to this one now. The entire eastern flank of NATO has got to cease to exist. These chihuahuas have got to learn that if you are saying you are not in an active war that means exactly that. If you are launching attacks from your territory then you must suffer the consequences.

    China, North Korea, and even fucking Iran is pumping up the nukes and delivery warheads. Of course Russia is massively expanding its already overkill arsenal.

    If you know this you know what Putin's true red line is.

    Pics from MAXAR. In the next few days, it will be known if any hangars were left after the attack. Western part (left part in the pic) of the ammunition storage base was old, from Soviet period. In HD sat pics many boxes of ammo can be seen stored under the open skies, even some in the new part (right or eastern part).

    Why would he respond now when his entire history as a leader of the Russian nation is a long list of non-retaliation after another?

    I quit being emotionally involved in Russia's success for this reason. It is too taxing for your psyche to always be at the receiving end. To be the one who is always taking the punches (and kicks under the belt). To be the one who is always the one humiliated.

    Now I am just an observer. It took a few years to shed off the emotional side but I guess I am fine now. Tver explosion seems to have been a big military loss for Russia but it did nothing for me. Not hate, not anger. Just a mild disappointment.

    Most of the other crap Ukraine has done has not really had an impact on the war.  Moskva and the landing ships? They were old.  Air force bases? They didn't destroy that much equipment.  Over the horizon radars? Those were back up in days.  Nordstream? That actually hurts the Eurotrash far more than it helps.
    Kerch Bridge, various terror attacks? Sad, but so what.  Invasion of Kursk that got cleaned out? PR stunt.  Ultimately these actions showed an amateurish stupidity.  Actually hitting large munitions dumps and major military installations? That shows a competence.

    Evil stupid can actually be entertaining.  Evil competent or evil smart? That would be a terrible development. Also, these recent attacks show direct participation by NATO members. If Putin does not punch back hard now they will hit Moscow, Petersburg, Volgograd, Murmansk etc and they will escalate. Again if you want to send weapons and advisers to a nation at war? Okay that is bad, but it is not direct involvement. When you are launching attacks yourself? You have gotten directly involved.

    Crocus hall massacre was also arranged by Ukraine. What was Russia's reaction to that? A complete non-retaliation. Hundreds of innocent civilians were massacred.

    In order to garner respect you have to defend itself. Putin should have learned this in schoolyard and streets of Leningrad.

    I cannot understand what he thinks he can win by letting Russia to be humiliated.

    I have removed the conversation above... I wont do that again... message to everyone... post conversations or long posts for tiny replies and expect to get a time out. GarryB

    In regards to Crocus, civilian dead in war is lamentable but again a US destruction of state dept/Pentagram/CIA trained and operated terror cell is not direct involvement. Nor does it impact the course of the war. However, when you let people who mean to do you harm launch attacks from their territories when they say they are not directly involved without reprisal then you pave the way for escalation. Civilians in Finland and the Baltic banana republics should not be targeted, but their air force bases and munitions dumps better be, but after and only after you meet with the press and have your ambassadors and backdoor channels talking so that they know that article v does not apply.

    Math.

    Russia starts a nuclear war today. Arsenals are roughly parity - both sides lose.

    Revisit the equation after 5 years and Russia and her allies have up to 10 times the nuclear weapons.

    Checkmate.

    That's why Putin calls it the red line. During the age of musket, the British infantry were infamous for slowly marching in formation, line abreast, and steadily absorbing fires from their opponents all the while. They will only fire when they could see the whites of the enemies eyes and 9/10 when they finally return fire the shock is enough to cause a rout. Then they put on the bayonets...

    That is a pretty massive loss, 300 Iskandars, that is at least 3-4m at full rate production. What negligent fool left them out in the open and did not distribute them, knowing NATO is watching and Ukraine does have drones that can strike? Treasonous negligence

    This corresponds 100% with my estimations made in the thread.
    I will say more. There is nothing left here. If the muricans won't open wide the gate of M1 deposit, there is NOTHING left. I feel sounding sort of Scott Ritter now Laughing but seriously ...

    300 Iskanders? Ouch!

    But what's the source?
    We should be careful about trusting any old claim. There are also claims circulating that the Ukrainians actually launched JASSMs from their F-16s, with bunker-busting munitions, and that's why they managed to hit where the depot was vulnerable. But without confirmation or more info none of these claims hold any more water than any other

    But supposing it's true, I'm starting to think it's a lost cause. Putin needs to go full Stalin on these wastes of oxygen but he's never going to. Really the more I watch this whole war, the more I understand why Stalin did everything that he did.

    Anyway we should be thankful that personnel weren't lost, or at least that's what they're implying. Doesn't matter how many missiles they took out, Russia has the capability to produce as many as needed, and it's not running out of money either.

    He will do nothing.
    He will do the same as before: winning the SMO against Banderites and NATO.
    After that Russia can put troops at the borders of Romania and Hungary again.

    But what's the source?
    Some dude on the net pulling numbers out of his ass.
    Or Rybar repeating western propaganda.
