For a while until he too is blamed for Russia just being shít.
A lot of posters here see and imagine things they want. We'd one yesterday talking about "putinbots disappearing from the thread" even though i've yet to read a single post in support of Putin. It's just bizarre carry on. I'd say some of these sort of posters would argue with in the mirror if the opportunity arose.
The Kremlin has announced that the air force chief General Sergei Surovikin is taking control of all of the troops in Ukraine.
Yeah, more psychological strike than anything else. But does make the jubilation look a bit premature.... I'm surprised how quickly repairs could be done
Partial civilian evacuation in Kherson.
Unfortunately it looks like traffic is back crossing the bridge but hopefully this isn't the last attempt to disable it. Looks like real pressure will come to bear on the botox dwarf to respond from the hawks within Russia.
It was you who made the original snarky comments about people saying videos of the explosion were fake if not corroborated by Russia Today. I merely said there is not a single person here who says that. Which you know is true, which is why you pivot away and start talking about Twitter. If you didn't want to be called out, you shouldn't have posted the lie.
But yeah, we can drop this now, the facts are established
..
It was real. It blew out windows in Norway and Sweden with a flash seen 1000km away. Whether there were any more made... perhaps the CIA knows.
Solovyov's reaction on social media is to go all Goebbels 1943 and demand 'Total War' against Ukraine. Presumably he will be ranting about this on his TV show tonight.
Looks they're doing it right now (according to BBC)
"We need to win the same way our grandfathers won during the years of the Great Patriotic War, with a wholehearted faith in the Motherland, in our commanders, and out commanders having faith in the soldiers".
Yeah.. lemme pull up the stats on Russian casualties in WW2, and remind everyone that in that war, the West was supplying Russia with equipment and munitions. Now it's the other way round.
Love the last line "And who needs the world if there is no Russia in it?". 😂
Read into this what you will:
You watch to much tv
It was real - it was detonated in a 50s test by the Soviets. Claimed to have a 50MT yield, the largest ever deployed.
Whether the Russians currently have something that big in their arsenal, doesn't seem to be currently known, or at least I don't know about it if it is.
🤣 Best post of the thread yet
This Russian "Tsar" bomb. Is it even real? Is this a real life weapon that could be deployed, or another "hypersonic" boogeyman.
This is from last night (so before the Kerch bridge explosion)
If Solovyov was demanding the destruction of Ukrainian civil infrastructure before this morning's explosion I can't imagine what he will be demanding afterwards.
Just seen a map on Sky News and it shows Russians advancing in Kherson positions?
Is that correct, also seemed the advances are in territory Ukraine reclaimed last week.
That map was just a wishlist for Ukrainian nationalists, based on any place there were any Ukrainian speakers at all (hence the Cossack areas in the east)
I was called out a few times myself as I didn't have the right information. Had to sit down for a while to look at all the variables.
Nukes were what drew the line with me, that's not cool. FFS that's it lights out.
I remember the end of the planet of the apes, and your man on the beach and the statue of liberty in the sand.
That's one scary moment, on the beach on a horse with his lady, quite romantic and finalized. Then comes the horror and macabre......
From the link
I chuckled
Looking at this picture, and the way the bridge dips lower, it does seem like the perfect spot for a Boat attack.
Was the train in the same spot just a coincidence? Or also part of the plan?
I also noted in some of the video footage, that the sea looked quite rough!! Maybe this was just weather-related and it just sank!!🙄
Yeah it's nothing new if you have been following the situation in Ukraine over the last 8+ year's,the Americans have been on the ground in Ukraine training forces right up until the invasion,last summer they had a joint exercise with the US Marines and the guys girls who defended Mariupol so valiantly
Should have known.
I don't think anyone is 'downplaying' such a weapon, just the idea that it would swamp Ireland and Britain in one go as Russian state TV boasted about. The numbers like wave height and travel distance aren't necessarily going to uniformly scale up as you increase the explosive yield, for one thing and if you detonate too close to shore to try and mitigate that, you don't have as much volume of water to move. To get an idea of what a nuclear torpedo of, say, 10MT could do, it might be a good idea to contrast the energy contained within to the surface energy of large tsunami-event earthquakes.
What we know:
One of the road carriageways has been destroyed.
Ukraine has the ability to attack the Kerch bridge and inflict major damage on it.
What we don't know:
If there is any damage to the other roadway or the railway
How long it will take to repair them if there is.
This is more a physiological blow than anything but will certainly effect Crimena in the short term.
Expect to hear a report of how on the 6th hour another supply train falls into the sea because they didn't bother to check the stability of the joints on the burned segment of the rail-bridge.
Could also be in ok condition...but 5 hours is just plain headless. A day at least to see if the bridge needs to reinforced or if essential parts of the structure haven't been warped by the heat of that fire.
Actually, earlier on there were posts here about a big increase in houses for sale in Crimea. After the bridge bombing, I imagine that property prices in Crimea will plummet. Anyone looking for a bargain, could start looking at Crimea.
Yeah I understand that NATO have revolutionised how the Ukrainian army operates but for them to do that and have it hold up in battle a mere 8 years later is nothing short of stunning (and a severe indictment of the RU). The Afghan army got twice as much time and a lot more resources and collapsed at the first sign of pressure. You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink.
