  1. Nice coincidence...

    Russian government resolution No. 873, dated 30 May 2023

    "until 1 January 2028, a technical investigation of accidents at hazardous production facilities and accidents of hydraulic structures, resulting from military actions, sabotage, and terrorist acts, is not conducted"

    Looks like mines being pulled into the flume.

    Hard to tell. Anyways looks like we have another vid from the morning showing the dam already breached and a explosion in it. Odd stuff going on. I guess they tried and failed to stage some things. The first vid is from 2:45 am at night, the other one after sunrise. Here:

    Another potential reason for the dam breach: It might have been rigged to explode but the explosives were triggered by some kind of technical malfunction or mistake.

    The malfunction were the orcs blowing stuff up. It's scorched earth policy they are known for.

    While I'm not a dam engineer either, I am pretty sure such structures are engineered to be strong enough that they won't break even if the dam is at full capacity.

    It seems bizarre that it would have been in operation for so many years and then suddenly collapse just as the Ukrainian counteroffensive is imminent.

    Ukraine would have no incentive to blow up the dam either, so the arrow clearly points to Russian sabotage on this one.

    Quite obvious. They now can shift troops eastwards. However they shot themselves in the foot. They basically gave up water supply for Crimea. They will pay the price.

    So if the Russians mistook AMX-10RCs for Leo 2s, those Russian soldiers who are still alive are firmly in the AMX-10RC is a tank camp.

    Remember those never ending debates on Twitter if the AMX-10RC is a tank or not, when France first agreed to supply them to the AFU? 😎

    The average Ivan in a trench can't tell the difference anyways. Those guys have other problems.

    From yesterdays ISW:

    Less than half a meter for each man.

    Gives me some Blackadder and Gen. Melchett vibes...

    General Melchett: 'Err what's the actual scale of this map darling??' Darling in response: '1 to 1, sir'

    "Seventeen square feet, sir." "Ah, you see... young Blackadder didn't die in vain after all."
