What is the strategic advantage of storing soldiers, ammo and fuel in buildings that are in range of Ukranian artillery?
Wait, they did it again?
A second, or perhaps even a third time? After the previous strike was so widely publicised that they felt the need to write fiction about a retaliatory strike that was then publicly ridiculed even by their own propagandists?
>pulling the wounded out of the rubble, one of the officers died from shell fragments
I always wondered why it´s not more common to repeatedly hit a target after the initial attack to kill off the survivors and rescue teams. I bet this would have an extremely demoralizing effect. I guess it might be a war crime, but you could always claim that you weren´t trying to hit any rescuers but were still shelling the initial military target.
This happens literally all the time. Ukies just can't do it to rusBlack folk as much because rusBlack folk don't send anyone to rescue their recently fricked formations
US and Russia do it all the time. Likely others too, but those are the big names it gets talked about occasionally.
It does require stopping your bombardment because rescue services generally don't drive into an artillery curtain. So you pause it for five or fifteen minutes for the ambulances to arrive and get out and start trying to move rubble, then do it again.
Sometimes they even do triple-taps to get the people rescuing rescue personnel.
Imagine being a mobik and your commanding officer drives you up to a fuel depot close enough to the front to hear artillery explosions, and then points at the cellar and tells you that's your barracks, before he himself speeds off
So bottom right makes me question what exactly Putin and Co’s plan is when they banned the use of civilian vehicles. Did they actually get enough APCs and Trucks going that they don’t need them anymore? Or is it a PR stunt that doesn’t care about the military reality on the ground and is just trying to improve the image of the war on the home front? I feel like it could be the latter because as an American it would be extremely embarrassing to see US marines going through Baghdad in stolen shitboxes.
Some mid level staff officer in the russian military probably noticed that their mobiks keep getting grilled in civilian vehicles, so this is passed up the chain and eventually "solved" by banning the use of civilian vehicles. That this then leaves the troops on the ground without any form of adequate transportation isn't even considered, because the guy making that decision has a dozen reports in front of him that say that there are enough trucks and APCs and everything is fine.
According to Russian law, Mercenaries are illegal and cannot be used in warfare. These laws however have no significance since Putin just ignores the law anyway and only severely applies it to people he doesn’t want to have mercenaries.
Same can be said about military orders. They are official but unofficial ignored because they’re domestic propaganda and nothing else.
Currently watching pic rel.
in one episode there is an interview with manager of Soviet city laundry, that is being assigned quota of scrap metal to delivery every year. That quotas are a part of centrally designed recycling plan, whole building of the best Moscow specialists crafted it to perfection using cybernetics and statistics. The only small problem is they had input the required quantity of metal after this one year when the laundry was being refurbished and old machines went to be scrapped. Naturally there is no way to meet this numbers again, so poor manager has to buy scrap from the proceeds of his establishment or send his employers to collect it on the streets instead of doing their actual jobs. Or if they cant manage, then take spare parts for the washing machines and turn them over as scrap. Gradually the laundry accumulates deficit of everything, machines break because parts were signed off as scrap and people have no time to repair them. Money is being used for buying scrap instead of renovating the building or giving workers a pay raise. Everything gradually goes to shit, but at least Moscow completed their grand scrap collection plan. Such is the life in Russia, where everything is centrally planned and the plan is sacred.
[...] >You see, Ivan, if we place the ammo on the top floor it's like the whole building has reactive armour, safer than before
>On top of an ammo dumps
If OP is correct these mobiks were housed under an ammo dump. Can't say I've heard that before.
Russians are logical minded people. Ammunition only blows "up", therefore putting the mobiks "under" the ammunition keeps them safe. It's similar to ERA.
>Igor , we need to house mobiks in here >Dont you remember Ivan, after last time we are not allowed to house mobiks on top of ammo dump! >But igor, our orders dont say anything about housing them BELOW the ammo dump! >Ivan, yuo are of genius!
Vids or pics? I need for my himars collection
Strike was the other day but now commented on. Check wartranslated on twatter.
Wait, they did it again?
A second, or perhaps even a third time? After the previous strike was so widely publicised that they felt the need to write fiction about a retaliatory strike that was then publicly ridiculed even by their own propagandists?
>Wait, they did it again?
yeah at Kadiivka. probably what OP's picrel is talking about.
>Wait, they did it again?
Some repurposed factory building in Luhanks a couple of days ago.

It's a thing with terror attacks sometimes. Blow a bomb, wait for rescue work to begin, blow another. IIRC, SAA did it too with barrel bombing.
Russia did this in Syria, "Double Tap" strikes,
US and Russia do it all the time. Likely others too, but those are the big names it gets talked about occasionally.

US did that shit in Iraq and Afghanistan all the time, the ol' double-tap strike.
Is he talking about the strike on Kadiivka?
and what proofs are there? americans will believe anything at first reading even without government confirmation & aprroval
This should be an obvious troll, but Russians actually think like this.
yeah I'm waiting on confirmation from RuMoD before I make a decision here. Keep me posted
Wasn't technically russian army so doesn't count. I'm pretty sure kadyrovsty are under rosgvardiya, on paper at least.
RuMoD here. This didn't happen.
Besides that, even if did happen only 10 people died.
And even if more than 10 people died they're easily replaced
Yeah, it's barely 0.2% of mobilized
It's okay because Motherland has the mobilization reserve of 25 million!

How do I see this as a non-bong
People have uploaded to youtube:

Now that they have the high threshold of that strike the other day anything less than that is not worth mentioning.
Damn mobiks' treatment just gets worse and worse.
Come on, at least make these fantasies somewhat realistic. Russian officer trying to save the wounded lmao
>Save the wounded cellphones and wedding rings
>On top of an ammo dumps
If OP is correct these mobiks were housed under an ammo dump. Can't say I've heard that before.
>above doesn't seem to work
>let's try below now!

Puccia plays angry birds on pigs side
>You see, Ivan, if we place the ammo on the top floor it's like the whole building has reactive armour, safer than before
Ukrainians used up some shells and a few lucky Russians no longer have to live (in Russia).
I'd call that a draw.

>Dont you remember Ivan, after last time we are not allowed to house mobiks on top of ammo dump!
>But igor, our orders dont say anything about housing them BELOW the ammo dump!

Wasn't there an airfield that the ukies bombed something like 10 times? Time to do that, but with mobiks.
>they touched the stove again
Would the average russian pass the turing test
