Special Unit Kraken in the liberation of Balakliya:

That is basically what happened in Chechnya, and in that case there were even reparations paid.

The Siberian divisions are coming!

Speaking of, much better quality:

Breakthrough without reserves to stabilize would certainly explain the massive loss of RUS tac aviation today.

This one seems embarrassed:

No, this is from preparations for a 2020 parade.

@sburke @Kinophile Might be an error, but this says that 27-year-old Senior Lt. Igor Boychuk was commander of the Engineer-Sapper Battalion of the 138th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade when he was killed:

Emphasis on former. He is now a commentator / think tank guy.

Hmm…release of Azovstal defenders, including dreaded Azov Ukro-nazi leaders, in conjunction with mobilizing 300,000 Russians. Maybe it was all just to try to keep the Nat-Zs reined in online? But didn’t mobilize enough cannon meat to appease the Girkin:

Hmm...

Ahahaha. Some one needs to hack Russian TV to play this over and over again:

The children of the powerful are completely unaffected so nothing will happen. The disadvantaged will try to avoid as much as possible, but then passively go to die in Ukraine when they run out of options.

Well, I guess we know who is getting mobilized first.

I guess it’s time to finish off the 98th Guards Airborne Division:

@sburke @Kinophile Capt. Evgeny Orlov, Deputy Commander of an Airborne Battalion (a Major’s position), 56th Guards Air-Assault Regiment, 7th Guards Air-Assault Division: Maj. Dmitry Murasov, unit unknown:

Captured T-72B3M tows away the captured T-90M, aka Shame Train:

Interesting exchange amongst RU channels on events in Kharkiv and the future in Kherson:

More imagery: Not sure if this “2 in Hexagon” is related to 2nd GMRD or not. Might be a BTGr marking.

Gotta catch’em all!

It’s just a BMP-2 that has already had the cannon scavenged. No markings visible to identify unit, but could be 4 GTD. They’ve always operated BMP-2, and this is one that received a light “modernization.”

This is a really, really dumb sentence. Korea? Cuban Missile Crisis? Vietnam? Israel during several wars? Etc. All raised the prospect of warfare were nuclear weapons were an option, but rejected for a various reasons, some of the same that will likely lead to rejection of use during the current war.

@sburke @Kinophile Maj. Tkharo Abataev, battalion commander, (probably) 5th Separate Tank Brigade: Police Lt. Col. Denis Lazutin, commander Samara OMON operational company “Smerch”:

Not getting killed by Russians.
