Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Rumors that the commander of Russian Black sea fleet has been killed earlier today in a Ukrainian missile strike on his headquarters in Sevastopol. Headquarters building has been destroyed for sure (video evidence).

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Do you know what technology the Ukrainians are using? Meaning, who gave them a missile that could do that?

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Yes, British Storm Shadow (range ca 250 km) and possibly homemade Neptune (similar range). The latter is a repurposed anti ship missile, the same which sunk cruiser Moskva last year.

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Might be even better. Latest news are that the strike was timed at the exact time of a higher leadership meeting for the entire Southern front. Several admirals and three/four star generals in attendance. If so great work of military intelligence.
Overall I think it was possible due to recent weakening of Russian air defence in Crimea. Remember those special forces raids on S-400 missile complex and oil platforms.

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Here is a very recent interview with Lt. General Kyrylo Budanov, the current head of Ukrainian military intelligence: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/e ... hotel-room
This general has become very prominent because of the war and the outstanding performance of his branch. He's only 37 years old.

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Thanks for that info. And the article, although I wonder how smart it is to have his photo in it.
(I know, the Russians must have him completely profiled, but not need to spread that sort of data around).

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Oh, it's way too late for that. He's very well known already and all over Internet as a meme. They tried to kill him at least once shortly before the war and failed. Now he must be as well protected as anyone in Ukraine.

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
If you saw pictures of missile strike on Kharkiv on 23rd - that 5-store building which was hit is where my father lives (lived, because now his apartment is no longer usable). He is alive with small superficial wounds from shattered glass. I would say that he is ok, except he is dying from cancer. 10 ppl were killed in this building this Tuesday.
I'm also unharmed, my building is next to his, it lost 3/4 of windows and even some doors were blown outside by the shock-wave. But somehow our windows and doors survived. At least till today. Utilities are disconnected so far (only central heating was restored quickly), so we had to move to my mother-in-law for the time being.
