Military bases in Russia and Belarus were rocked by an outbreak in fires and explosions Thursday, just days after a Russian airbase in Crimea saw explosions that wiped out nine warplanes…

Nothing to see here, just more incompetence at handling munitions, move along….

Do you count as KIA when you die under such circumstances as a member of the military of greater ruzzia?

The going rate for a Cargo 200/son is said to be around 200.000$.
Can any ruzzian father on TMP confirm this?
Of course, KIA Buryatians are cheaper and MIA, whatever ethnic is unfortunately not a win.

Just asking for a ruzzian I know who has fathered too many good-for-nothings and so far can't afford a Lada.


-----
Ceterum censeo…
Stop them in Ukraine, send more heavy weapons.
The more dead ruzzian soldiers pile up there, the better.

And a new Lada for every ruzzian father!

The Russian Military seems to be totally inept, careless, etc.

'More' shelling at Nuclear Plant?

Hmm. 'Something' here does not add up.

If Russians using area as a 'shield'… yes, they would… but why would THEY, then, shell it?
If Ukraine now has better Arty / Munitions to target Russians there… yes, they would. But would lose a LOT of Cred if they did… surely not so stupid?
Would Russians 'Fake' an attack? Hmmm… 'maybe'.

'Someday', accounts of this war 'May' be researched properly?
Would make 'interesting' reading!

In Belarus, there are many opposition groups against Russia

If what happened to that airfield was an "Accident," so was Pearl Harbor.

By looking at the before and after satellite photos posted here and there, the number of CRATERS distributed around the place obviously prove it was no single accident. Munitions of some kind were neatly distributed to help take out aircraft, as well as direct hits on multiple ammunition bunkers--exploding simultaneously, not in succession--prove that this was a brilliantly planned and executed attack.

The Ruzzians are so deeply mired in their world of lies that they can't report--much less accept--the truth without both 1) Admitting that their foe is highly capable, and 2) Proving to the people in Moscow and St. Petersburg that their vaunted Armed Forces can't prevent such an attack.

Does anyone who accepts the story this was an "Accident" also believe the "Moskva" was destroyed by another "Accident?"

Wake up and smell the borscht!

Looks like coordinated attacks at multiple locations including Belarus & Moscow possibly:

Incompetence just flinging random artillery salvos at the horizon?

" brilliantly planned and executed attack"

Western advanced munitions and Western intel given to Ukraine?

but why would THEY, then, shell it?

They have knocked out 3 of 4 high tension lines connecting the NPP to the Ukrainian grid. The motive is to have it connected only to the Crimean grid, while blaming the Ukrainians.

It may seem strange, but electricity and gas are still connected across front lines.

That may be a big factor.

I suspect the NPP is part of a large campus of buildings, warehouses, offices, and etc and that only portions of it may be under Russian control. The media and others may be doing sloppy reporting or be intentionally vague when they report an attack on the nuclear power plant. Hitting the building where they store spare wire won't get as many headlines as when you imply they have hit the reactor.
