Mamoulian War

Well, 10 casualties and 60 wounded out of 75 missiles shot is pretty good statistics for Ukraine. If they blew up the bridge, they surely knew, what would happen, and they still did it, because strategically it was still worth for them. And I bet, they even have statistic numbers, how many Ukrainian lives they saved with slowing up the Russian GLOCs over Crimea… Still no one has given a plausible explanation, how Ukraine was able to manage to fill a truck owned by Russian company deep inside Russian territory with tens of tons pf explosives, and pass all the control checkpoints on their way to Crimea…

As of 11:00 or so, Russia has launched 75 missiles, 41 of them was shot down by air defense systems. And as we can see many of the rockets, which hit the target, did not hit the crucial infrastructure. Yet. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/10/10/7371095/ Edit: so far critical infrastructure hit “only” in Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kharkiv and Khmelnitsky Oblast. Edit2: as of 11:00 the UA confirmed critical infrastructure hit in 8 Oblasts. With the observations, that most of the missiles hit non-critical civilian objects. As you have seen above.

It is unimaginable for most of the civilized people. But Ukrainians stopped being afraid long time ago. And this how they see it after this morning. For them, these attacks are just an evidence, that they are winning.

And this is why they will lose in the end. By wasting valuable war resources, which they cannot replenish under sanctions, on non-military targets

Probably from Russia Today or RIA Novosti

LOL… now I have seen everything… and you actually proved my point, why are people dehumanizing supporters of Russian Army…

I didn’t knew Russians dehumanized Iraqis as well… I know, that this might be useless… you probably wave it away, as any other of their atrocities, but this is one small example among thousands, why people are calling Russians orcs, and are cheering every time a HIMARS is launched

You both are forgetting one crucial thing. Most Russians, which did not run away from the country yet, are supporting the acts of RuAF in Ukraine. You should not be surprised, that because of this, most of the people are judging all of them, based on these gruesome actions.

@Gorgon The only people dehumanizing Russians in the eyes of general populace, are Russians themselves, with their own actions…

Well, if it was a truck bomb and not something under the bridge, it makes things even more interesting, as the truck was driving from Russia to Crimea. According to BBC Russians are already investigating someone from Krasnodar area. edit: probably unrelated to this event, yesterday started big purge in Moscow, and army officers have been detained (report by Ukrainian intelligence, Russian media did not report such things happening). Some Russian milblogers started writing, that this explosion helped Shoygu to stay in his function a little bit longer, and there are starting to be rumours (probably psyops, but in Russia you never know ). That the Crimea Bridge incident was also a part of the ongoing war between Russian MoD, FSB and Prigozhin. Just few hours after the explosion, the security of the bridge was handed to FSB by Putin himself.

After few hours of theorycrafting, According to some (ex)firefighters in the discussions, the explosion was under the bridge. Their conclusion is, that top of the bridge with traffic lines do not show the marks of explosion on top of the road. So the explosion was definitely not from missile, nor from truck full of explosives.

This forums really needs facepalm reaction

The thread has one more explosion on camera. And it looks to big for the Truck Bomb. That video looks to me, that something big hit the bridge from the north… Of course I might be wrong

Actually Kerch Bridge was priority nr1 since day 1, as this was used as a primary supply route to southern occupied Ukraine. Unfortunately it was always out of range of UA weapons. edit: Russia already ordered rationing of goods in groceries in Crimea. Little bit insight on how it was used, and how it complicates things for Russia.

How big must have been the truck, that it was able to collapse the bridge... Antonovsky near Kherson is HIMARSed weekly for few months, and it still stands. And 6 week repair job in Russia might be 6 months

It looks like Part of road bridge has collapsed. Those Russians, and their smoking habits, tsk, tsk, tsk…

These are long range bombers. They can hit Ukraine even from Caspian Sea. They never fly into Ukrainian air space. They were also bombing Azovstal in Mariupol with these bombers.

If true, that would be first two down.

At one of our news, I have found an article, that Chinese media are slowly starting to criticize Russian war in Ukraine. I tried to find some other source, but with no luck. Have any of you found anything, which might support this statement?

It needs to be said, that thankfully the box full of dentures is probably someone getting to conclusion to fast. So at least there are fewer hurt Ukrainians… According to this Ukrainian Pravda article, it is probable, that Russian soldiers has stolen it from some dentist ambulance, which owner had collected them over years. The dentures has been sent to DNA testing to identify, if the statement of the doctor is correct. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/10/6/7370621/

Since the start of Souther counter offensive, Out of 25k soldiers on the right bank of Dnepr in Kherson Oblast, approximately 2.5k dead, 5k wounded, unknown number surrounded. Most of the surrounded soldiers have lost 10-15kg of weight due the lack of supplies comming across the river. Winter time will be crazy for the rest of them… Well unless Russia counts that with more dead soldiers, the flow of the supplies would be less demanding

My knowledge on Prigozhin, except his Wagner financing, is very limited. In the case, that these former intelligence are correct, is there any consensus on how much of a c**t he is, compared to Putin?

Sorry for another post, but Oh My God, this is so ****ing ridiculous… It has been translated from a pro-Russian Telegram Z-Channel… source included… If anyone was still wondering, why Russia is so incompetent on the battlefield, and why they got kicked out of Kyiv so fast, this will give you another hint…

Hehe, after few minutes of searching, some people are suggesting, that this was staged by Prigozhin. It looks like the the war for influence has seriously started in Russia, after all of the ****ups at battlefield. Bellow the initial tweet, there is a video of FSB arresting one of the Wagner media “managers” behind the Shoigu discreditation campaign.
