Russia cannot manufacturer a lightbulb but apparently it an intercept nuclear missiles

Not sure why you feel anything that might have happened between the 16th -23rd would have any bearing on what is happening now. The Russians had a full invasion force on the borders well before the 16th, they had been building it for months, and the west (US) had been warning of it for months.
Russia had been planning this for years. To try and claim otherwise is idiotic in the extreme.
Diplomacy is not possible. You might as well be of the opinion that face slapping with wet fish will cure Russians of being Russian.
Then write to your lying mates in Moscow. Ukraine can't stop, only the aggressor can.
"Statement from Russia at UN on satellite use: "Quasi-civilian infrastructure may become a legitimate target for retaliation". It's clear that Starlink has become an important part of Ukraine's command, control and communication system in parts of the country"
I presume they must mean attacks in the west on Starlink ground stations.
Not at all being serious, but Musk could launch a 90 tonne chunk of tungsten into orbit, with the Starship and a strapped on guidance package, slingshot it around the moon to accellerate it, then take out the Kremlin and a large chunk of Moscow with it. Careful there Vlad.

Avid Spacex buff here. What Musks engineering team are building both in Boca Cica and Florida is nothing short of incredible!
Have the Russians forgotten that the Starlink Satellite Constellation consists of THOUSANDS of mini-sats in low earth orbit travelling at 17,500 miles an hour? Almost impossible to take down. Starlink was specifically designed that way.
Plus the resultant debris-cloud from an explosion in Space would jeopardise ALL spacecraft along, and each side of their orbital planes. The ISS, for example, currently hosting Russian cosmonauts and Russian Soyuz would be in serious danger.
Attacking Starlink is a non-runner
... and the uncovering of yet more large scale war crimes begins.
"A large mass grave of Ukrainian soldiers and about 500 civilian burials were discovered in Izyum"
That's why I suggested ground stations. Starlink must be rendering significant chunks of ground based astronomy un-doable. I'm not a fan.
You would be surprised at what stages development of kinetic weapons is currently in quite a number of countries.
Surprise us
Wait & see seems wise in this case. Reporter closer to ground was saying earlier that this may be a municipal grave i.e. a lot of people died in the initial bombardment and assault on Izyum and that for sanity reasons, the local authorities remaining dug & placed the bodies here. No immediate evidence that people tortured / executed after the Russians took over are buried here. But it may turn out to be the case.
I have my doubts that the Ukrainians would be digging if the local officials told them they buried them and not to bother, unless those officials were collaborators.
You do get that a large number of civilian deaths caused by deliberate targeting of civilians is a war crime?
I wouldn't be so quick to believe the rumour that Russia are not sending more men into Ukraine.
Interesting video showing the Russians using precision guided missiles to strike a Ukrainian pontoon bridge, presumably the Inhulets given the width of the river.
Using an expensive munition like that to target a relatively low value target like a pontoon bridge seems to suggest their precision missile situation isn't as critical as people make out.
Ah no it’s just a conspiracy against poor Russia.
All staged.
Maybe. The missiles themselves were pretty ineffective - the bridge didn't suffer that much damage, and those were anti-tank missiles. Maybe some general wanted to show progress up the line. This tweet sums it up:
As for what it suggests, RuSSia's military has shown little or no capability for planning in this war, their strategy seems to be taken from WWII where they out-bled the Nazis to defend Stalingrad and met with a serious modern defense have been badly damaged. Not yet defeated, but that might be the head cut off from the snake that still snaps its jaws.
Although you're not being serious, the pedant within feels the need to point out that Musk can only get 25t to the moon.
And to think, if the Russians hadn't been so... 'Russian' to Musk on his visit to them in 2001 ,they wouldn't be in as big a mess as they are in now.

not necessarily... blocking anything across the Inhulets will inevitably slow the flank attack to Kherson
Too many people here assume that because Russia lies constantly everything the Ukrainians claim must be gospel truth. It's seldom that simple....a lot of uncertainties remain...
Or Russia is in fact in **** streets they used similar missles to target a bridge support they claimed was a barge carrying Ukrainian forces .
The bridge was blown up in WW2 ..
The oul is glass is only half full
If that is a pontoon bridge what were they firing at it... wet toilet rolls? In fairness the first strike seemed to take out some sort of transport truck.
AND is this the best the Russians have of attacking their enemy... a pontoon bridge getting tickled?!
As for the prisoners being sent to Ukraine, these could very easily be the likes of those holding up blank pages in demonstration, either way they are going to be bullet catchers.
Ukraine got a great victory at Kharkiv, I think people have extrapolated a Russian collapse from that. Unfortunately, I see no evidence of this. Just look at the Kherson frontline which has barely moved in weeks of sustained Ukraine attacks. I see two sides pouring forces into the meat grinder with little evidence either is ready to give up.
I think this war will go on until next year, easily.

Ever hear of the Kessler effect (or Cascade Effect)? Kessler syndrome - Wikipedia
What?? I don't have mates any mates in Moscow.... I don't think I personally know a single Russian. I met a Russian once on the till in Tesco, she seemed crazy but nice but don't know if she was from Moscow....
Well they have hypersonic missiles, I don't think anyone is denying that.
https://news.illinois.edu/view/6367/1254629557
What countries have this technology?
China and Russia have fielded weapons capable of hypersonic speed, and now Russia is the first to deploy this weapon in the battle space. Other countries, including the U.S., Australia, France, Germany, India and North Korea, have also tested or are actively developing hypersonic capabilities.
It's amazing how the incredibly backward N Korea can invest in hypersonic missiles too.
The only effective defense against nuclear attacks is the MAD principle, it's proven to work during the decades of cold war and the reason russia won't nuke anyone. Stop your fearmongering.
Finally they managed to struck nazis' infrastructure, so "operation " is justified 😂
Turns out their hypersonic missiles are just aircraft launched cruise missiles .
