It’s nice to see another ship – even a patrol boat – go down. Six Russians were killed in this attack.

The KS-701 Tunets is a patrol boat used primarily by Russian border guard and rescue services. The hull is 8.8 meters (29 feet) long and 2.5 meters (8 feet) wide. Various sources say that there is space for 6 to 10 people on board plus a captain.
Top speed is 37.8 knots (700 km/h; 435 mph). The range is 200 nautical miles (370 km or 230 miles).
This is what they get when they hijack a kindergarten.
Everything happened in the temporarily occupied village of Konskiye Rozdory. The occupiers used the building of a kindergarten for their needs: the main hall was converted into a café and ammunition was stored in the utility rooms.
“It exploded for more than an hour and a half. The flames spread to two Rashist KamAZs and the collaborators’ equipment,” said Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov.

Sapper has to be one of the most dangerous missions in all of Ukraine.
You have some nice rockets there. It would be a shame if something happened to them.

The reason no one has ever seen an Armata on the front lines is because Russia equipped them with the new cloaking technology they received from the Klingons.

Attention❗️ The Russians need help: There were not enough bags to fortify the border of the Belgorod region with Ukraine.
Business-minded Belgorod residents are selling used bags for 5 rubles to “strengthen the world’s second army,” locals complained to the governor.

A force of elite Russian soldiers wages a fierce counterattack against the Ukrainians en route to a glorious victory.
Note: comic relief
Buryatia has killed a disproportionate number of soldiers in Ukraine, but don’t mess with their black market trade or they will get really upset. WARNING: At the end of the video, one of the Buryats is shot dead by the police.

1/ “I screwed him over so much that the bastard fainted,” says Major General Ivan Popov about the conversation he had with the head of the Russian Armed Forces, General Valery Gerasimov, that led to Popov’s dismissal as commander of the 58th Combined Arms led army. ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/HNhv4UXJiE

2/ An audio recording of part of a conversation between Popov and his former subordinates has been released, in which he discusses his dismissal in July 2023 after complaining about high casualties and a lack of artillery support.
3/ According to the Telegram channel VChK-OGPU, the 58th CAA is suffering from increasing personnel losses as well as “cases of covering up problems in reporting to the leadership.” It describes the contact of Popov’s recorded remarks:
4/ “The officers of the 58th Army did not wait for the support of the new command and the General Staff and turned to their former commander Ivan Popov. In response, General Popov urged officers to stand firm and report only the truth.”
5/ “He also described in detail how his conversation with Gerasimov took place on the eve of his decision to resign.”
6/ In the recording, Popov tells an unknown person: “You and I are absolutely similar in that, [that’s] only the truth. Especially when you have soldiers behind you and suddenly the lives of 1,000 people are in your hands.
7/ “If I were a coward, then I would look into the eyes of my soldiers and officers, I would simply lose face for the rest of my life and then I would never forgive myself for this cowardice.”
8/ “I fucked [Gerasimov] so bad that the bastard passed out. It was a straightforward conversation.” This fits with an earlier description of Popov’s confrontation with Gerasimov in a leaked audio message posted on Telegram by Russian MP Andrei Gurulyov.
9/ In this message Popov says: “I also raised a number of other issues and expressed everything openly and extremely harshly at the highest level.”
10/ “I had no right to lie, so I outlined all the problematic issues that exist in the Army today regarding combat work and support.”
11/ The recording is likely related to recent reports that officers of the 58th CAA, fighting on the Zaporizhia Front, have maintained contact with Popov as the situation there has deteriorated during the Ukrainian counteroffensive. He is said to have been a popular commander.
12/ A Russian Telegram channel comments that Popov “states that all the problems he reported in his report have only gotten worse and no one is doing anything to eliminate them.”
Good boy.
