Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Still not good if true, but storing unstable munitions at a military explosives and propelants plant doesn't seem like the best of ideas, other than isolation and security would already pertain to the site.

Also stories of 500 soldiers, 10 armoured vehicles, howitzers etc where on the train.

@Bass Reeves I have to disagree. Its exactly the same as the blitz. It reinforces the general population against the aggressor. It reminds them of the he cost of losing..

The difference between the blitzkrieg of London was the British had the spirit of knowing that if Hitler bombs us our boys will be hitting him where it hurts ,they were already were fighting over the skies an they also had daily reports of British victories, something we're not seeing in Ukraine,

This thing about an old chemical plant has come from a single tweet that's been parroted by other accounts we still don't know what was hit , but whatever they hit it was significant

I never said it would stop the counter offensive,but it could cause issues if the Ukrainans have to evacuate and move munitions further into ukraine for protection,

They haven't hit anything significant with with missles military wise ,I still believe that they are purposely hitting civilian population and infrastructure in the hopes the people who start turning on the government,

Against that argument ( which I'd agree with normally) but with Russia its different because they treated the populations of any Ukrainian territory they held with unbelievable atrocities. So for the Ukrainian population there's not much choice. Fight, defend and maybe die, or definitely die. The Ukrainians are under no illusions where Putin is concerned, and what living under his control would mean for them.

And of course, Russia has never held a referendum that they did not control and know the results of beforehand.

That's something I believe too, amunition dumps, airstrips, barracks etc in Russia, grand blow the sh*t out of them, but civilians no way, the cost could be the actual end of Ukraine for a few generations (though they will never destroy the idea of a free Ukraine whatever happens).

This is why I respect your posts , while we generally are 98% in agreement on things it's not a Big issue not to agree 100% of the time ,

Train derailment in byransk, apparently the work of partizan

I remember the reports of it was going to fall any day now from months ago.

No idea if it will survive long term but what the Ukrainian forces have done there is nothing short of brilliant.

At this stage you’d think the likely application would be to halt the Russian advance by hitting targets in the Ukraine border. Staging the missiles well inside the Ukraine lines.

Has there been an official acknowledgment about the attack on Pavlograd yet ,and what was hit ,

We've seen some random tweets from less than reliable sources saying it was only old rockets and fuel.

But nothing official
