Russians must be in awe of UKR organizational talent. Not only did they manage to capture a city that voted 99.99% to be annexed by Russia without a fight, they even managed to bring along hundreds of civilian crisis actors to cheer them on while they strut around in the place.

Does anyone know what happened to @Grigb? Hope he didn't get mobilized or arrested or anything.

It will be interesting to see what exactly the repercussions will be, I don't think some further economic sanctions are going to cut it here. Maybe put a Kaliningrad blockade back on the menu, or send modern air-dropped ASW weapons to Ukraine (covertly) or declare to sink any Russian sub spotted anywhere near critical pipeline infrastructure. I doubt the EU has enough teeth for any of these, but they would be resolute responses.

Too close for comfort.

Glad to hear it. While unpacking some more random campaign files I found one that didn't work and fixed another edge case, so here goes v0.10.1
uncam-0.10.1.zip

Hello,
I haven't touched CM in ages, having mostly lost interest in it, but today I had an itch and looked at the code I had written for the uncam tool and somehow ended up rewriting the entire thing in one setting. I fixed some issues and it should be possible to unpack CMCW campaigns as well as potentially campaigns of yet unreleased games, as long as BF does not muck with the file format. Anyways, I don't have CMCW so I can't test and there are no campaign files in the scenario depot. If it doesn't work, send me the campaign file (or a download link) and I can take a look at it. I don't even have a Windows PC anymore, so I couldn't test the Windows version either, so please report any issues.
Best regards

I am not sure if it has been mentioned before, but this channel does regular interviews, mostly with Muscovite(?) zoomers and millenials, but I thought it gave some valuable insights into a certain subsection of Russian society, i.e. young urbanites, so definitely not representative of the whole country.
What these videos show particularly well is the utterly destitute state of Russian civic culture, with standard answers like "I'm apolitical", "these things are decided at the top", "we have no say in it", etc and a general disconnect from reality ("the rest of the world is envious of Russia's wealth and resources").
Some other interesting videos are the somewhat regularly posted (every few weeks or so) "are you affected by sanctions yet?" videos, which most people tend to answer with no, even if all acknowledge issues such as severe price increases.
This one answer I found particularly funny:

A few weeks ago the official line was that sending Gepards is no good because the ammunition is no longer produced in Europe and would have to be imported from Brazil or something. Probably just some more German weaseling, now that everyone and their grandmother is sending 155mm SPGs and the previous line of "we only send what our allies send" no longer works. What a disgusting country... (that I happen to live in).
Oh well, maybe we they can at least send another company's worth of MG3s...

I saw a BBC report on the fate of the 331st Guard Airborne Regiment earlier today, quantifying some of their losses via Russian social media. Seems to confirm the view that a good portion of Russian airborne forces are pretty much combat ineffective by now.

Sadly. no. While I can clearly identify the blob of bytes were all this information must be stored, it bears no resemblance to a normal .btt file and contains no clear text either, i.e., it's likely compressed data. The campaign script is extracted, however, at least partially, so you get rest/refit percentages, win thresholds and the overall campaign progression.

Interesting take by a DNR recon guy on the situation in Mariupol from two days ago. I found it odd that he says there are no Russian forces, since I thought the 150th MRD was also fighting in Mariupol, but maybe he is just referring to his sector.
