Fires breaking out in Russian nuclear forces ICBM storage areas...wonder what other bits of Russia will burn down before they finally withdraw.
The Russians who actually handle their nuclear weapons know when they need to stop things from escalating.

So the French are saying Russia has lost over 28k troops so far...

It's probably a feint or false flag and one of the missiles will "cook off," igniting a nuclear launch and accidentally land in Kyiv or Lviv or Rzeszow, Poland. 🤯🤷‍♀️

Very Sad. :p

Eh, that is normal for guided missiles. From what I remember, US missiles didn't perform any better.

Maybe the reliability rate could be excused, somewhat. Very few weapons systems of that range and complexity have been in service as long, or have gone through as many iterations, as the Tomahawk missile. And even they have an occasional failure in flight.

The accuracy issues are inexcusable, however. If you recall the day 1 Iskander strikes that missed their aimpoints at that airfield, they all looked like they were off by the same margin, and in the same direction. In other words someone didn't punch in the coordinates right. Compare to this article about the "very precise miss" the Indian Air Force had in their strike on Balakot. Advanced weapon systems are not just "plug-and-play," they require trained professionals to program and use and even those people can make mistakes. Now consider what RUSI pointed out two months ago once the persistent absence of the Russian Air Force in any significant strategic strike role began to raise eyebrows - the best explanation is that the Russians simply don't have the operational-level staffing required to really plan big air operations. Strike planning and all that takes work. Though we're all loath to admit it, staff officers actually do have useful jobs that need doing. If Russia doesn't have enough operations staff - and given the absolute clusterfuck they've made of everything else, that seems to be likely - they're going to suffer misses not from technical flaws in their weapons, but from insufficient strike planning.

I wouldn't want to be him right now.

Don't worry; his gravesite will become a pilgrimage in due time. :)

*Gasp* Apparently Sailors Were Killed On Board the Moskva. But Since it Was an Accident, the Insurance Payouts Won't be as Large to the Families, What a Relief...



When do you think that the Russians will actually get to Sloviansk? Sloviansk is a highly important city to the Donbass separatists because it was their Alamo back in 2014. It would be highly symbolic for them and Russia to conquer it. It would be the most glorious victory that they'll have in the war up to date other than Mariupol.
