Can’t believe @LongTimeLurker biting at @Sergeant Wilson’s stock schtick. 

Given the apparent interest in all things military I do hope he doesn’t have access to the key cupboard. A badly timed Simpson’s gif and we could all be toast. 

You're a stock schtick.

Big explosions in Belgorod, rumours that a fuel or ammo depot was hit by a Ukrainian missile. Lots of photos and videos of mushroom clouds, secondary blasts.

Looks like some of the missiles were shot down over the city by air defences but likely at least one got through. Reports of civilian casualties although that could be from the shoot down or the hit. 

Also overnight, a Russian base, possibly and airport, was hit at range in Melitopol. That’s likely to be HIMARs.

Edited to add, there also seems to have been a strike in Kursk. Not heard of them being targeted before.

That's where they keep all their tank spares...

Worth noting that one is in southern Ukraine close to Crimea. They have promised not to use HIMARS to target Russian territory

 

Have seen it claimed that the range for the HIMARS rockets that were sent is probably significantly further than what is usually publicly stated. Melitopol being targeted accurately may provide evidence for that.

A bit like Inverness with Tesco.

The only route out is a retreat north to Ross-shire, it's an invidious if not impossible situation

The key word there is Ukraine, M9. Not fucking Russia.

Then you'd get trapped again in Dingwall. Run to the West and you'll get mortared from Ullapool.
