The Ukraine war thread

This sounds like it might be a big-ish deal:
curious 'container' that Ukrainian troops captured today looks to actually represent a significant Russian loss and a potential intelligence goldmine. What Ukraine's forces found looks to be a containerized command post that is part of the Krasukha-4 mobile electronic warfare system. The Krasukha-4 is primarily designed to detect and jam large radars, such as those on airborne early warning and control aircraft, such as the U.S. Air Force's E-3 Sentry, and spy satellites.
Ukrainian forces reportedly found this command post container outside of the capital Kyiv. Twitter user @UAWeapons was among the first to identify it as most likely being a component of the Krasukha-4 system, which is also known by nomenclature 1RL257, based on a picture that had emerged online. A complete Krasukha-4 consists of two vehicles, both based on the 8x8 KAMAZ-6350 truck, one with the electronic warfare (EW) system and the other carrying the command post module.

Fun thread to read. Let’s hope it’s true.

Fascinating video and audio:
The best part is where a Ukrainian jammer whistles "Dixie..."

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The sinking of this ship is a HUGE deal.
- It's a supply ship and was docked at the port of one of the first cities to fall in the early days of the war.
- Secondary explosions destroyed a fuel dump and munitions dump.
- Getting that boat out of the way for another supply ship will be a major undertaking.
- Other ships that were damaged will need extensive repairs.
- The Ukrainians are silent on how they did it. Speculation runs from ballistic missile attach, to a commando raid. Keep the Russians guessing is the strategy.

It’s ok, it’s psyops. Since Russia considers them part of the same nation, a Traitor’s theme fucks with their heads.

@jon-nyc I saw that yesterday. It's clearly a residential area of no military value, other than being a potential spot for snipers.
The White House actually said "War Crimes" yesterday.
The link from the New York Times I posted earlier talks about Russian soldiers "clearing" residential areas.

I work with a guy who's wife has twin sons of military age in Mariupol. He managed to get the older folks out, but they're staying...
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

I can’t imagine the anxiety.

A joke from Moscow: "According to Putin the special military operation is really a conflict btw Russia and NATO about World dominance. Whats the situation now?" "Russia has lost 15000 troops, 6 generals, 500 tanks, 3 ships, 100 planes and 1000 trucks. NATO hasn't arrived yet."
DON’T let them eat cake.
