I am very aware. It’s just connected. The video I posted was the discussion. But it had the column video as a tag (it wasn’t me adding it, it’s automated). It’s often like that.
This is why they are talking about it btw:
Casulaties were, supposedly rather heavy…
And just for context, this is the relevant strike:

Anyway, last night Ukraine bombed a gas extraction platform in the Black Sea which was full of military sensors. It had a 40 man strong Russian garrison:

Russian commander of the Sector has called in…Iskander ballistic missile strikes to strike Ukrainian Recce, located far to the north of Ukrainian control area. Seems a bit…I don’t know, Russian maybe.

Maybe after seeing what they did in Kursk he’s terrified of what that small team might do to his forces…

I guess whatever munitions are available barring nukes
This has not been fully corroborated and numbers are unknown. But if Ukraine manages to draw most of these reserves, then the operation will have been a success

Some bad news and I have been worrying about this, Koronevo was supposedly a minimum goal, but garrison has held out for 4 days now and it’s quite bad since UKR can’t move past it towards the highway, or gain access to defensible terrain west and south of it. But time will tell, early still but time might be running out (but we’ll see).

It makes me sad to think about how so much human ingenuity and scarce resources goes into killing one another…

Always…
It’s a tragic aspect of history, that much of the major technological advances have been made as a conquence of human conflict. Both now and in antiquity.
Yeah, that’s a constant in human history. If the same amount of inventivity and energy had been all invested in positive things, we’d be in another place as we speak. Very sad indeed.

It’s perhaps a discussion for anothe thread eventually, but sadly, much of the technology we have today, originated out of developments related to warfare too. Much of what later come to good civilian use. There are too many examples to list, but the most obvious one are those in the field of medicine and space exploration. I wish we could develop them in another way, based on different needs.
