6 War for the East

After targeted strikes behind Russian lines, various ammo depots and C&Cs have been hit, some 100km into enemy territory!

Russia may be experiencing a hiccup in artillery shells as they have been tapping into a Belarus ammo store.

Would love to see these high quality strikes continue.

Did you see the mall they supposedly bombed? Iā€™m skeptical of the initial reports and have been waiting for more info, but that fire was raging.

I did. I have no doubt Russia struck it. Itā€™s one of many civilian targets they hit every day. The question is whether it was a valid military target or not.

In the past, Russia has sometimes made statements to that effect, like when they previously bombed a closed mall that was housing military vehicles. This case looks like civilians were shopping and got hit, so I donā€™t know.

Word is one or two KH-22 anti-ship cruise missiles hit the mall, launched from a TU-22 bomber.

These are the least accurate of Russiaā€™s cruise missiles. Thereā€™s a factory just north of the mall that was a likely target. If it was indeed an ASM it would show that Russia is using whatever it has on hand.

Oh absolutely. I meant the reports of 1k people in the mall at the time of the bombing (not that that many people died).

This is pretty wild. After several days of shelling Snake Island, Russia has retreated. Surprisingly, Russia addressed the action in the media, making a statement that they withdrew as a ā€œgesture of goodwill.ā€

LMAO these guys

The battle for this island has been a roller coaster and who knows if Russia will return again or leave it be. It seems with Ukraineā€™s increased strike capabilities, it doesnā€™t make sense for Russia to attempt holding it anymore. Their troops and equipment there are sitting ducks.
