Storm shadow strike in Mariupol
A command bunker was struck by a Storm shadow around the same time Shoigu was visiting Mariupol. This is a satellite image of the damage. Is he dead?
Is this today or from a strike from yesterday?
If yesterday, I thought the airport strike was on the actual runway with the parked choppers.
It's from yesterday and no, it was gayolocated with high confidence to this bunker, which is now seen destroyed.
That being said, killing Shoigu would be unironically a bad thing for Ukraine
>That being said, killing Shoigu would be unironically a bad thing for Ukraine
I know her personally pockets like 25% of the entire defense budget himself, so his corruption only is a hinderance. But the damage is done, and it's not like competent uncorrupted people are behind Shoigu, he would be replaced by one of his underlings (ie co-conspirator for corruption). And the disruption and shame of losing such a high ranking figure would be worth it.
Autocracies select for loyalty and low-ambition over competency, ergo whoever replaces Shoigu would more than likely be less competent than him (since Shoigu wouldn't want a competent underling as a potential rival).
>Putin is the only competent person in the empire
>it progressively gets more incompetent the lower you go
>all the way to the lowly grund with 80 IQ digging ditches in Chernobyl
All of this makes sense...
Now remember that at one point Putin was someone's less competent underling.
People meme about Shoigu and Gerasimov but their involvement is literally the only thing keeping Russian forces together.
Early attempts to sideline them (even to assassinate them by their competition in Russia) resulted in disastrous defeats for the Russian armed forces.
Idk man, Shoigu seems really incompetent. Gerasimov appears to be a brilliant military theoretician, but lacking in practice.
Strelkov really takes a piss on both
Strelkov is FSB stooge, of course he hates MoD
I've watched a long video with zaluznyi and he said that the only rus general he respects and has read every work is gerasimov. He's credited with codifying hybrid war concept.
Strelkov on the other hand says the he only respects a guy named Teplinski
What do you know Teplinski is a VDV commander lol
VDV had some high profile failures, but they also scored some successes this war
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Teplinsky
I was recently watching an interview from a ukie captain. He presented Teplinski as one of the most competent russian officers.
The satanic anglosaxons roosters have clucked around the bear cave for too long.... now the bear is awake and when it looms over the cockerels.... they will know....
That was pretty good m8
Thanks.
>satanic anglosaxons
>Anglo-Satanists
I'm keeping this one.
I can't claim credit for it. Apparently at the start of the war, Russian troops were given booklets explaining t hat Russia is the only true Christian country left on Earth and that the West is run by satanic Anglo-Saxons who are devil worshippers and want to corrupt poor Russia.
da, the bear will eat many cocks. It has been foretold through history.
The French are the cocks.
>they will know....
eyebrow status?
ass status?
olga from leningrad oblast here. gloves are slowly but surely coming off and eyebrow is being raised in response to provocation. there will be military action over...
>Shoigu was visiting Mariupol
Wouldnt that be a favor for Russians to get rid of this corrupt fucker?
So Shoigu....could be dead? There wasnt any russian chimpout after the strike yesterday.
There have been 43,257 Russia has taken Bakhmut posts today.
And it's only gotten worse over the last 8 hours.
they could be too embarrassed to admit it.
memory hole shoigu haha
>Verification not required.
Ukraine would never do this. Shoigu is their best agent.
10 bucks says Prigorzhin leaked coordinates to Ukraine
Even the Ukrainian MoD sent him a letter of commendation for his efforts in disarming the Russian army.
>They got Gerry
Naaah, it'd be fucking hilarious, but I doubt it.
I'm retarded, read Shoigu as Gerasimov
>how
I need to sleep
No, Russia wouldn't get that lucky.
Unlikely. I do wonder what was there though, and why we haven't really heard anything from official sources.
>I do wonder what was there though
Before the full-scale invasion (2014-2022) there was a heavily fortified soviet era bunker that was used as a command center for the entire sector. I think russians used it in the same way
doubtful they just fucking with them
I think that Putin needs inverst on "gas recuperators" to rematerialize his generals.
If they scored someone important there, they should make a gaping rusball edit lol
Tbh an old Soviet bunker outside of himars range but still close enough to the front seems exactly like a place where some of the most important officers would sit
Jesus Fucking Christ, this would be like a historic event, like if they wiped out the OKW in 1942.
>Tbh an old Soviet bunker outside of himars range but still close enough to the front seems exactly like a place where some of the most important officers would sit
Is Russia manned by Slowpokes? Ukraine and UK announced the Storm Shadows, confirmed they were being used, and given the Russians ample time to adapt. If they put a bunch of generals and officers in a bunk that got hit by a bunker buster storm-shadow then that is 100% on the Russians. Should have moved out like a week ago!
>He forgot about Makiivka PTU strike with 300-500 KIA just because they decided to listen to monkey new year speech
I am pretty sure they were geolocated after some of them called home for New Year's.
I'm always reminded of their accurately portrayed mental gymnastics in HBO's Chernobyl.
The conversation probably went something like this:
>I think we're in Storm Shadow range, they might hit the bunker.
>They don't hit bunkers.
>But...
>Have they hit a bunker before?
>No...
>So what the fuck are you talking about?
>But now the Storm...
>They don't use Storm Shadows to attack bunkers, they never have. What the fuck do you know about HATO missiles anyway? I say we're safe, I say we're staying, and say NOTHING, got it? You shut the fuck up!
>Yes, comrade colonel!
Later Storm Shadow hits bunker:
>Nobody could have predicted this. What was the fucking GRU and the VVS doing all this time? It's definitely not my fault.
You know, that's this entire fucking war in a nutshell.
I hope these guys weren't all gathered in the bunker, that'd be a tragedy
>Camo tarp used on interiors
So they do have them but decided to use them in the most retarded way possible, so many vatniks died because their trench was open air.
Inside of the Russian Tigr armoured car is camouflage, the exterior? Olive green. Why do they do this.
Where is the knee deep trash and gear everywhere?
Sanctions cut the access to factory trash making equipment
Tacky as fuck, like a golden chain on a gangsta
>Camo on the fucking inside
Absolute stupid.
You're stupid.When it gets blown up, the insides will be seen in the debris, and soldiers can use the carcass as concealment or cover.
It has to have A color, i guess that a brother in law of the procurement officer produces green camo upholstery
I have no idea how practical is this layout, but looks comfy
Probably some fucky with the subcontractor that supplied the fabric.
>"hey, we need this many square meters of fabric for our military project"
>"military you say? "
And then the contractor just sends bales of camouflage fabric to the Tigr factory.
I assume in the American arms industry it would have been specified what Federal Standard color to use.
I think Russians have a functional misunderstanding of how camouflage works
kind of unrelated but wasn't the TIGR-M one of the very few pieces of russian equipment that the ukrainians were genuinely impressed by? i think i remember reading they were sad there were so few numbers of them too, because they were loving the idea of capturing them and using them themselves
They hit the oily rag depository, nothing else.
I want to see a before shot. Circles and MS Paint's Insert Text Tool aren't evidence.
Before the strike
from another thread
I'M SORRY STORM SHADOW
Live scenes moments before the bunker was hit
Go Stormshadowchu the Hedgehog. Shill away to the maximum
You are the cringiest poster on the board by the way with that bong obsession of yours.
Armatard you are one cringe tier gay.
Oh nevermind the original was fine. It was the edit that was cringe.
Fuck you kevin.
>expects to see underground bunker from the air
It's clearly collapsed something hollow below it, storm shadow makes this kind of hole on impact when it fires it's shaped charge.
Depends on the fuse setting anon. It can create a larger hole if detonated just after entry or even before the surface.
Also, iirc they can replace the shaped charge with a different warhead if they want, but on its own it's already quite explosive so yeah.
By the way, Russian state media released a video of Shoigu visiting Mariupol and flying in the southeast part of the city. The flight path was geolocated and you can see the distance in this picture. Red line between the bunker and recorded flight path.
next time make the red line brighter and thicker
And more arrows
I took the image straight from the geolocator thread on twitter
ok, carry on then
Russia also showed him and his buddies walking through bunkers and corridors before reaching the meeting room, thankfully they blurred part of the image so it would be impossible for Ukrainians to locate which bunker he was in.
Bunkers would be easily recognizable by personnel who'd spent time in them, especially if you know the general area. Can't be too many of those around.
No way they aired that video while he was still present. They can't possible be that stupid. Right?
Yeah I was being sarcastic, what's the point of blurring a bunker that the Ukrainians have used for years before the invasion? I bet Shoigu left before the strike but some other general(s) were flattened.
I've no idea how on earth I didn't pick up the sarcasm. Christ.
>thankfully
have a nice day.
>bakhmut has been captured
Again?
Eh... uh... legally
May I see it? Bakhmut is still ongoing
All I'm asking is if it's been captured again. I've heard it's been captured by Russia a lot since last year so I'm curious.
>killing C&C
>retarded power moves
eternal moron strikes again
>Verification not required.
You literally had gay Vatniks coming in to PrepHole every day for the past TWELVE MONTHS claiming Bakhmut was captured, and even official Russian state media would claim Bakhmut was taken every ~2 weeks.
It could be captured but no-one would fucking believe the claim until a non-Russian run media reported on it or Ukraine itself admitted it was fully, 100% captured. Boy who cried wolf.
A shepherd-boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village,
brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out,
"Wolf! Wolf!" and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at
them for their pains. The Wolf, however, did truly come at last.
The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of
terror: "Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the
sheep"; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any
assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure
lacerated or destroyed the whole flock.
moron, there's a video, there's geolocation, there are before and after photos
Something blew up.
That's orders of magnitude more than you retards were spamming about patriot
Senior officers would be a better prize than Shoigu. He does way more damage being alive
What's with the 9gag frog?
He's an unironic Russian that came here to gloat because this time the Bakhmut success is really real this time. This has literally happened a few times since the beginning of the year. They stand out with their posting styles and picrel choices.
>Making up fanfic about an ongoing war so you can feel good about the side you are rooting for winning
Projection is a helluva drug.
>It's captured
considering that Wagner keeps taking videos several kilometers from area they supposedly captured today...I don't think it's captured
As funny as Shoigu blowing up would be that sounds too good to be true
>aljazeera
What's next the hindustan times?
I'm still waiting. A single pic of gen Z from the last two weeks would make my day so much better 🙂
burden of proofs is shifting, the eybrows are raising.
So what you're saying is.... Russia still hasn't taken Bakhmut?
Why is it every time Moscow comes up with a new disinfo campaign you're all over it like lemmings? You wouldn't be glavset, would you?
I hope so, but he likely was never anywhere near Ukraine.

You ziggers were posting that Zaluzhny might be dead for the past month. As is typical of Vodka induced memory holes.
>Storm Shadow is as good as the Patriot
This is not the own you think it is.
>Russia is not the defenseless Black-nation your God West is used to bully
You see, this is the fucking problem with you ziggers: nobody is trying to bully Russia, but you fucking paranoid retards cannot chill the fuck out and accept that because you've bred social PTSD into your bones. Chill the fuck out and refrain from committing national suicide for one fucking generation, and maybe you'll learn how to actually have friends.
