heh, Wagner killed at least two Lt. Colonels in a single day:

BEHOLD! The ultimate cope:
-
Prigozhin remains defiant and defends his actions, but reiterates it was not aimed at “top leadership” of country, and walks back more extensive goals for “justice” to simply preserving Wagner:
EDIT: better summary from Dmitri:

3rd Assault Brigade clearing more trenches:

What is more interesting is the units we know about belong to all three of the armed organizations within Russia:
- Rosgvardia (National Guard)
- Rosgvardia (National Guard)
- GRU Spetsnaz (MoD)
- Unit of nuclear forces (MoD)
- Border Guards (FSB)
- Border Guards (FSB)
- Border Guards (FSB)
- Rosgvardia (National Guard)
- Rosgvardia (National Guard)
Might have missed it due to formatting and his exclusion of complete unit title, but he also included the 1st Separate Tank Brigade, 20th Guards CAA, WMD (в/ч 63453) in his list.

Things can still spin back out of control very quickly (in comments said it is actually VDV, not Kadyrovites):
-
Previously seen Terra Unit footage, but now with more context. Good insight on cost / benefit of "drone bomber" ops (they consider it only a secondary role when artillery ammo is short because it burns through drones very fast):
-
Russians firing on wrong side of river and pulling troops out. Hit on BTR cut from video.

I have found Galeev to be a very bad predictor of what is to come. He often correctly identifies things to watch and what the variables may be, but then he... I dunno... jumps to something that isn't supported by what he just outlined.
You do NOT rehearse a coup because the regime will lock down as many of the identified problems as possible. Which means the second time around will need to be significantly different than the first time, which negates the concept of "rehearsal".
You may wish to test some theories, but you'd do it on a small scale. Like testing the police response time to a particular bank you wish to rob. Call in a bomb threat or something, watch what happens, then plan accordingly. What you do not do is burst into the bank, take it over, have the vault open, then walk away without taking anything.
In fact, the Russian Liberation activities gave any Moscow plotters all the information they needed about Russia's ability to handle internal security. No need to stick their necks out for redundant knowledge.
At best Galeev is probably correct that there will be another grab for power if there isn't a hidden winner as I think there is. However, whatever power grab might happen in the future, it likely won't look anything like this because there will be no Wagner or equivalent because it effectively doesn't exist any more and NOBODY will be stupid enough another PMC to be formed. In fact, I expect we'll see many burgeoning PMCs, like GAZPROM, seriously curtailed in the very near future.

I do not think Galeev means literal rehearsal here.

7 aircraft down and Wagner out of Ukraine. The Battle of Moscow was a resounding victory for Ukraine.
Poor Igor:
Putin is now puppet Tsar.
-
Consider how many units now have to be repositioned to protect future internal security of Russia. Probably Kadyrovites won’t be seen in Ukraine ever again.

They were going to take away his army.
He rebelled.
He keeps his army.

Ahahaha, ZOKA no longer allows replies.

Oops, more:

Another one:
2x Mi-8 EW
1x Mi-35
1x Ka-52
1x Il-22M

Is there a way to do a poll on this forum software?
I propose
A actual Putin speaking sense, at least by Putin standards
B Badly done deep fake
C Recorded speech about fertilizer production or similar
It will be delayed, so I think I’m gonna sleep.

Wagner takes over SMD and has captive sit down with deputy defense minister. OMON raids closed-for-weekend Wagner offices.

Time for some more truth-telling about SMO:
-
WTF is happening here?
-
-
Rostov is now Valhalla. Also they claim to have shot down another helicopter.

Now he is claiming they shot down a helicopter which opened fire on Wagner column. Still no visual confirmation of any of this...
