Russian Invasion of Ukraine

[Dennisch]

There are some convincing rumours that the Ukrainians have encircled up to 6000 orcs in the Kursk region.

Pretty ordinary thing for liquid fuel missile.

Gotta be honest, these images look reversed. That blinding white concrete and dark black asphalt is brand new and there is no evidence of either of them in the image with the crater. So unless the shiny concrete image is several years old, this is showing me that the crater shot is the old one, and the shiny concrete and asphalt is actually new construction.

Everything is covered in dirt from the exploded missile silo.

Ah, so it blew up while it was still in the silo. That would definitely create a huge dirt geyser then. You can see the outlines of buildings and it looks like the tracks in the upper right show some of that bright concrete underneath.

But hey, one less missile silo to worry about then, so that's nice.

Ah so that's not just surface damage from a bomb, that's a deep crater and the concrete is covered with deep dirt. That makes more sense.

You didn't see a crater in the ground because it isn't there!

Based on history, the safest place for a Russian aircraft carrier is the front line.

I don't think the ship is anywhere near the front line, only the people serving on it.

Sailors as ground troops.
Good plan. 😀

 

[EngieDiesel]

They may as well just go ahead and mothball all their ships at this point, before the Kremlin Gremlin decides to continue his plan of permanently reducing military upkeep by letting the entire country's navy get promoted to artificial reefs.

41 year ago Stanislav Petrov saved the world. "Eye" early warning anti ICBM system did false warning of multiple US ICBMs launches on 26.09.83. Petrov decided that it was false alarm and didn't report about situation, situation didn't escalated into thermonuclear war. Investigation said its sunlight mirrored by clouds was reason for system to decide that its time to end our world.
