Neat!

All Russian gear is secretly drones. That's why it seems to just fly away and vanish as soon as it's issued. Drones get blamed for everything!

I think that's what was happening with some of those 'mobik abducted by drone' stories. Guys were deserting and the Russians have been at the 'punishing the man in the foxhole next to you when you desert' sort of level for a while so I expect some guys were blaming drone abductions to avoid being blamed themselves. Drones have taken on a sort of reputation as a mythological sci fi do anything machine.

Putin is a real piece of poo poo.

As funny as the idea of the Russians attacking that spoil tip en masse is in the abstract, I can't help but feel bad for those on the ground, no matter what kind of people they were. How badly beaten down and/or propagandized must someone be to look at that black hill and know you were going to have to assault that on foot across open ground? At least the Allies on D-Day had air and ship support against an enemy of similar technological level, while the Russians were facing technology a generation or two ahead of what most of them had.

What a senseless waste of human life, and the scumbag who's ultimately responsible still sits in the Kremlin, instead of being fertilizer, which is what people ought to do with poo poo.

I understand why the ukrainians endure all the suffering since they are fighting for the continued existance of their country - but I don’t understand the mentality of the russian troops. Most of them had no issue with Ukraine just a few years ago and they are now dying in droves in bombed out frozen hellscapes.. and for what? For Putin? It’s nuts

Many vatniks come to Ukraine to die for money and the promise of loot. The thing is, though, most of them don't actually get paid or even receive combat pay.

Its simple, its money. The salary and enrollment pay is huge amount of money to someone who is minority living in Russia, and from the rural, poor areas.

There recently was an article that summed it up something like "they know very well that everyone doesn't come back, but many do, and with money to buy a house and car, with all new furniture and appliances they could dream of".

/4. Comments from the Ukrainian source about the Berdiansk.

“details on night work in Berdyansk:

Just yesterday I “praised” how Russians dispersed the helicopters in Dzhankoy, but in Berdyansk the situation is different - the helicopters were there very close to each other

the airfield in Berdyansk is the main airfield of the Russians, which they use (used?) to launch attacks on our front-line units

there was a large fleet of KA-52 and MI-8 helicopters, as well as several MI-28 and MI-24

there were up to 30 units of all this stuff

The airfield’s defense was also impressive, namely several units of Pantsir S1/S2, BUK M3, as well as a TEREK-type radar

on the way to our “gifts” in the Osipenko area, BUK M3 launches were also heard

but that didn't help

- arrival was into an aviation weapons warehouse, it detonated for more than an hour;

- some number of damaged helicopters, according to preliminary data, up to 10 units, some were completely destroyed;

- Pantsir S2 was also damaged (according to some sources, destroyed) along with the personnel who were located directly at the airfield

the attack was combined, very competent and very successful, even based on preliminary data

other details are being confirmed”

They are gonna set one off to prove to the world their nukes aren't as flaccid as their army. Either it works and we know about it or it doesn't and now they are in a position to develop new ones. Or maybe Putin rattles the saber too hard and he falls out a window.
