Another careless smoker:
In a clip shared online, massive plumes of grey smoke can be seen filling the sky in the Samara region of Russia.
They reportedly came from a major fire that raged through a “huge amount of equipment, including military equipment” at a bearings factory.
According to local Telegram channels, the blaze engulfed an area of 100 square meters and was triggered after oil caught fire.

Some of these I wonder are just ordinary occurrences.

Could be. How many shopping centers in a major city have burned in the US over the last year?
And the other one was a strategic site - ball bearings.

Sanctions are biting.
Interesting that it's taking so long. I guess it goes to show how long it takes for this kind of stuff to trickle down.
Paper? Tires? I can understand aircraft parts and computer chips, but I would never have thought about such mundane things.

Big hole on a sub seems like it might be problematic.

A new analysis has found that mobilised Russians who have been sent to Ukraine have only survived, on average, for 4.5 months before being killed. One in five of the mobilised has not survived longer than eight weeks.

This tempest in a teapot is not going to accomplish anything good for either party. I hope it gets sorted out as quickly as possible. In the meantime I am certain the Kremlin is rubbing its bloody hands in anticipatory glee.

I have to wonder how much intelligence is coming from Russian sources.
