Well, seems that no-one got any great ideas during the Charles III's coronation that happened today in London.

The Russia we all know and loath would have sent a bomber squad to exercises in Atlantic and "accidentally" take a flight path that goes over London right when the event takes place.

Not enough spare parts. Those bombers are needed for Ukrainian hospitals, apartment buildings, and orphanages.

How does the command structure work for Wagner troops? I assume that they have low-level officers of their own but that at some point up the chain there's a Russian military official overseeing their actions. Do they enjoy less oversight in Africa, and if so is it because Russia simply doesn't care as much about what Wagner does there so long as they deliver results?

I always assumed it was dragon rules. The bigger your mound of stolen poo poo the higher your rank.

New vid from Insights just arrived. This time it isn't an intercepted phone call, but the translated statement of a journalist made to the officials of the court after she was sentenced to nearly seven years in prison for speaking out against the war. It's pretty powerful, to say the least. Unfortunately in fascist Russia it'll probably fall on deaf ears.

From what I see it seems to be a simple Subway Surfers clone with a new coat of paint. If you probably liked that game, you'll like this. Or any endless run simulator for that matter.

Aren’t they supposed to be down to a few thousand mercs after throwing them at Bakhmut? Unlikely to be a decisive factor.

It’s probably a face saving exit while he’s still got enough guys left to pillage in Africa and before he gets tainted with loser stink along with the rest of the Russian army.

A general panic seems unlikely, but I don't think Wagner leaving would be good for the morale of those soldiers remaining in theater, particularly the mobiks.
Also Russia threw another tantrum today, more missiles and drones sent to attack Ukraine's cities. Explosions reported in Odesa, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Nikopol, and Mykolaiv, threat of strikes to Krivyi Rih, ongoing air raid alert in Kyiv. It seems in Odesa and Mykolaiv the air defense mostly worked.

No but the problem is that they will be replaced by Chechens who are scary muslims hence why Ukraine should surrender. This has been another episode of War Nerd Radio. Thank you for listening.

Reason would have me believe it's because he's used to seeing his shithouse rat rape-brigade win battles against poorly-trained/untrained militia groups, and the meat grinder that is Bakhmut has opened his eyes to just how poo poo his "anyone & everyone" goblin horde actually is when it's forced to fight against a determined, legitimate military opponent which has received modern training and is armed with modern weapons gifted from the single most powerful military alliance on the planet.

But then maybe I'm just some globohomo Ukronazi propagandist.
