Otoh, Dragon flies funny and makes funny noises, so who can say if it's bad or not.

Ukrainians said Russians were very determined to take it out. Apparently even contained some gunpowder to simulate secondary detonations on hit, by the looks of it?

On the other side of the war, there's footage floating around of a T-90 getting hit by an ATGM and doing what Russian tanks do best.

Just a heads up, it seems very likely that the Finland-Estonia gas pipeline Balticconnector was deliberately sabotaged by Russia last weekend. There's an official press event later today by the government but I think it can be considered confirmed when the public broadcaster is already saying it out loud.

I love how, clearly aware that one of their best bets is to cool everyone's motivation to support Ukraine, either with patience or disinformation, Russia decides that "hey, lmao, what if we reminded everyone why they need to stop our bullshit?" https://twitter.com/wartranslated/status/1711707621944623465 quote:On Avdiivka, where Russians attempted an assault today. Butusov says a Russian column of 9 vehicles left Donetsk in an attempt to cut off Avdeevka. However, something happened to the first vehicle in the column Video content: Russian column's first vehicle fails to drive across a bridge and topples rear end over teakettle into the water instead, lmao.

You'd expect a spotted tank column stuck doing a U-turn on a narrow embankment would quickly turn into 8 × I imagine they just kept rolling. Stopping will get you killed. But then again, Russia hasn't exactly been the most proficient of forces. Like having a bridge too narrow for your tanks, or not having a scout or engineers check it first.

Even the US is good at drowning tankers in shallow bodies of water. Unless there’s an escape hatch in the bottom somewhere, I doubt anyone pulling them out could do so fast enough to save the people inside.

Sticking around means that you will be someone else's future problem. The US lost a few dudes to drowning in Iraq when Bradleys rolled into canals.
