Christo Grozev’s Bellingcat investigation into Russian missile targeting has been a top subject of the week on Twitter.
He talks about it from 2:20 in this video, but the whole CNN report has some eye opening stuff in it. Wagner group’s diseased troops for a start.

Currently there's an E-8C Joint STARS, an E-3A Sentry, two RC-135W Rivet Joint (one RAF one USAF) all kicking about Poland, and a U-2S has just taken off from Fairford.
This is building up to being one of the busiest signals gathering days since the start of the conflict. Something is definitely up.
Rick - this has nothing to do with an impending nuclear attack.0 -

If Putin does lose grip of power due to ill health, I just hope the next leader of Russia realises they are sat on a natural resource gold mine and just sit pretty. I mean I'd half get it if they didn't and it was the size of the UK, but it ain't by a long bloody shot.0

One to get MF eyes rolling. A seriously unimpressed Russian soldier running through the 'kit' he's been issued with. Includes a pair of wellies.

blimey! grazie for vid.rjsterry said:One to get MF eyes rolling. A seriously unimpressed Russian soldier running through the 'kit' he's been issued with. Includes a pair of wellies.
ok, it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch but it looks like they've completely run out of winter kit or anything useful at all.
Hopefully they'll all suffer horribly but, tbh, they don't stand a chance from the begining.
Long may it continue..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Russia have pulled out of Kherson city aparently0

Not just yet. Today was an announcement that they’re going to withdraw to the other side of the river, but the timescale is still grey. What happens next will be interesting. The Ivans only have a few pontoon bridges, and they keep getting a regular HIMARS pumping. There’s a chance ‘withdrawing’ will mean abandoning yet more equipment and men.Dorset_Boy said:Russia have pulled out of Kherson city aparently

Still think your expert picked a better example?
In the absence of pictures of huge piles of equipment and prisoners it would appear as if the new Russian General knows what he is doing, or UA messed up.0 -

Still lost the main city of their new annexation.

A ballerina too. I don't know how big Banksy's profile is abroad, but props to him for making the journey there and using his art to celebrate the Ukrainians' spirit, and, one hopes, giving them images that will resonate in their souls.
