Jun 06 2023 The Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant destruction
In this thread I will gather Russian comments and updates.
For a moment, it was easy to fall into ‘wrong-think’. Much touted offensive fails spectacularly – Ukraine blows up own Hydroelectric Power Plant – Blame Russia. In reality, winners have no need to blow up power plants and dams. They have a need to preserve… Continue reading

May 25 2023 Marine drone (USV / UUV) Sitrep
With thanks to Nat South
