Now they say "15 days"... 🤡💩

Stocks of food, non-food essentials in Crimea are up to 15 days, there are no reasons for increased demand, the Ministry of Industry of the Republic said. They noted that in order to avoid artificial excitement, the sale of groceries in the Crimea is limited to one person up to 3 kg.

Crimea is fully provided with fuel, gasoline and diesel stocks are now enough for at least 15 days, work is underway to ensure delivery - Ministry of Energy

It's NOT "defeatist" to see and say the truth. Rissua is taking it in the ass RIGHT NOW, and if they don't start fighting back HARD, RIGHT NOW, they will be fucked to death. I am in Donetsk and will stay and fight here. VICTORY OR DEATH, so let's fucking make it victory!

Now if I was a NATO officer, I’d probably go ahead and start my offensive on the back of this attack in Zaporozhye. It also lines up with the attempted attack on the airfield earlier in Russia. Two huge morale wins and then a push to Crimea or Mariupol.

========================
The most stupid thing that can be done now is to start reassuring the country, assuring that nothing terrible has happened. Happened. Yes, the bridge has not collapsed completely, yes, it is subject to restoration, yes, other logistics chains will be involved through the liberated territories. But who will now guarantee their safety?

There are several aspects to what happened.

First, the Khokhols, using typical terrorist tactics, hit the symbol. The Crimean bridge is a symbol of the fact that the peninsula is securely sewn into Mother Russia and nothing will tear it away from it. But, unlike the previous attacks on the Crimea, this informational victory does not turn out to be called language. And that's why.

Because, secondly, the Crimean bridge in our time is primarily military logistics that supplies our group in the Kherson direction. Moreover, both the automobile branch and, to a greater extent, the railway, which, apparently, was also disabled for some time. Against the backdrop of the already not very prosperous situation near Kherson, the terrorist attack can be considered as the final touch before the storming of the regional center. And then - a trip to Zaporozhye and the Crimea.

Thirdly, Kyiv demonstrates an enviable consistency, which many (including myself) have been calling for for several months now. Namely, to driving Ukraine into the 18th century, without senseless reflection on how this will affect the civilian population. Bridges, dams, thermal power plants, traction railway stations and other critical infrastructure. Kyiv is gouging it methodically and without moral torment. We always have some chivalrous excuses. They should not be in principle, if we want to win. But do we want to?

The answer, of course, should not be emotionally spontaneous. But it shouldn't be a one-time event. Maybe it's time to stop pointlessly blowing up the barracks, the defeat of which absolutely in no way - neither tactically nor strategically - affects the situation at the front, given Ukraine's mobile resources? Let's fight more wickedly, for real, without excuses about the impossibility of blowing up the bridge along which weapons are coming from the West. Nothing is impossible, Ukrainians show us.

========================
Самое глупое, что сейчас можно сделать, это начать успокаивать страну, уверяя, что ничего страшного не произошло. Произошло. Да, мост обрушен не полностью, да, он подлежит восстановлению, да, будут задействованы другие логистические цепочки через освобожденные территории. Но кто теперь будет гарантировать их безопасность?

В случившемся есть сразу несколько аспектов.

Во-первых, хохлы, используя типичную террористическую тактику, ударили по символу. Крымский мост - это символ того, что полуостров надежно пришит в Матери-России и ничто его от нее не оторвет. Но, в отличие от предыдущих атак по Крыму, эту информационной перемогой назвать язык не поворачивается. И вот почему.

Потому что, во-вторых, Крымский мост в наше время - это прежде всего военная логистика, которая снабжает нашу группировку на Херсонском направлении. Причем, как автомобильная ветка, так и, в больше степени, железнодорожная, которая, судя по всему, на какое-то время тоже выведена из строя. На фоне и так не очень благополучного положения под Херсоном, теракт можно рассматривать как последний штрих перед штурмом областного центра. А дальше - поход на Запорожье и Крым.

В-третьих, Киев демонстрирует завидную последовательность, к которой многие (в том числе и я) призывают уже несколько месяцев. А именно - к вколачиванию Украины в 18 век, без бессмысленной рефлексии о том, как это скажется на мирном населении. Мосты, дамбы, ТЭЦ, тяговые жд/станции и прочая критическая инфраструктура. Киев ее выдалбливает методично и без моральных терзаний. У нас всегда какие-то рыцарские отговорки. Их не должно быть в принципе, если мы хотим победить. А мы же хотим?

Ответ, конечно, не должен быть эмоционально спонтанным. Но он и не должен быть разовой акцией. Может быть уже пора заканчивать бессмысленно взрывать казармы, поражение которых абсолютно никак - ни тактически, ни стратегически - не сказывается на положении на фронте, учитывая мобресурс Украины? Давайте уже воевать злее, по-настоящему, без отговорок о невозможности взорвать мост, по которому идут вооружения с Запада. Нет ничего невозможного, показывают нам украинцы.

In the video of the truck explosion on the Crimean bridge, the most disconcerting thing is the large amount of sparks from the surfaces and in the halo of the explosion. We see this repeatedly in war, when fragments hit the surface at the speed of a bullet after a munition bursts. There are a lot of sparks, so they are not from vehicle wrecks, unless the vehicle is made of cast iron, of course. This speaks in favor of a missile blow. However, the explosion is very powerful, something big must have come. In general, we have to wait for the conclusion of the expert and never rush to make final conclusions.

@NeoficialniyBeZsonoV

Moving red lines castrates sovereignty. Political scientist Nikolai Sevostyanov specially for the Voenkor Kotenok Z @voenkorKotenok channel :

The main process that we have observed all these months is the constant transfer of "red lines", after crossing which Kyiv had to wait for a crushing answer or even "Judgment Day", which Dmitry Medvedev spoke about. All these months, the Nazis consistently crossed these lines, and "Judgment Day" did not come.

Today they crossed one of the most "fat" lines, hitting the Crimean bridge. And the first thing we saw was how some deputies and figures immediately urged "not to hurry with the answer." Allegedly, it is necessary to abstract from emotions and calculate everything. If I translate it into Russian, let's move this "red line" somewhere far away.

You can wait until the Armed Forces of Ukraine strike at Kaluga. Although no, it’s also not good - they already hit the Kaluga region yesterday. So let's wait until they launch a rocket in Moscow.

This once again speaks of the need not to talk, but to do. Do not threaten "Doomsday", but destroy those targets that will instantly bring down the rear of the entire Ukrainian group. The Kyiv regime can lie as long as it likes under the drip of endless Western trenches and loans, but if the equipment itself is destroyed, the regime will crumble.

Equipment in this case is infrastructure, without which it is impossible to wage war in principle. You cannot move troops when bridges and railroads are destroyed. And you can’t keep control if your power plants are knocked out in winter.

I note that this is not the "Stone Age" in which the States sought to bomb Vietnam. And not the carpet bombing of Germany approved by London. The destruction of thermal power plants, bridges, railway infrastructure will not lead to mass deaths of civilians. But it will instantly bring down the existing control system, which is tailored for the most comfortable conditions.

And, of course, this once again raises the topic of infiltration of the liberated territories and Crimea by enemy agents. To carry out such an action, we need not only a group that will be directly involved in the preparation, but also accomplices who will provide cover for it. Not to mention the fact that the truck obviously did not cross the front line, but began directly on the spot.

Today Russia has all the tools to win this war. This requires three basic things:

1) Start fighting for real without constantly looking back at the possibility of new "Minsk" or "Istanbul" trials. There are tools, goals - even more so;
2) Remove those who do not want to fight and cannot, regardless of the reasons. It is not necessary to plant - just a kick in the ass and a well-deserved retirement;
3) Switch to the military format of eradicating enemy agents, the Ukrainian underground and active elements of the fifth column.

Once again, we need a powerful interdepartmental structure with emergency powers. You are afraid to call it SMERSH, call it something else, at least a "raccoon lovers club", but give it the opportunity to burn out with a red-hot iron that network that blows up, kills and sabotages. People who would be ready to do this, who are not afraid to take the initiative and who are interested in it - in a country of 140 million people.

But we can continue to pretend that we have a police operation on the distant approaches. How will this end - need to explain?

Перенос красных линий кастрирует суверенитет. Политолог Николай Севостьянов специально для канала Vоенкор Котенок Z @voenkorKotenok:

Главный процесс, который мы наблюдали все эти месяцы — постоянный перенос "красных линий", после пересечения которых Киев должен был ждать сокрушительный ответ или даже "Судный день", о котором говорил Дмитрий Медведев. Все эти месяцы нацисты последовательно пересекали эти линии, а "Судный день" так и не наступал.

Сегодня они пересекли одну из самых "жирных" линий, ударив по Крымскому мосту. И первое, что мы увидели — как некоторые депутаты и деятели сразу же призвали "не спешить с ответом". Якобы надо абстрагироваться от эмоций и всё просчитать. Переведу на русский — давайте и эту "красную линию" передвинем куда-нибудь подальше.

Можно подождать, пока ВСУ нанесут удар по Калуге. Хотя нет, тоже не годится — по Калужской области вчера они уже били. Значит давайте ждать, пока запустят ракету по Москве.

Это еще раз говорит о том, что нужно не говорить, а делать. Не угрожать "Судным днём", а уничтожать те цели, которые моментально обрушат тыл всей украинской группировки. Киевский режим может сколько угодно лежать под капельницей бесконечных западных траншей и кредитов, но если уничтожить само оборудование — режим посыплется.

Оборудование в данном случае — это инфраструктура, без которой невозможно вести войну в принципе. Ты не можешь перебрасывать войска, когда мосты и железные дороги уничтожены. И не можешь сохранять управляемость, если зимой у тебя выбиты электростанции.

Замечу, это не "каменный век", в который Штаты стремились вбомбить Вьетнам. И не ковровые бомбардировки Германии, одобренные Лондоном. Уничтожение ТЭЦ, мостов, железнодорожной инфраструктуры не приведёт к массовой гибели мирного населения. Но оно моментально обрушит существующую систему управления, которая заточена под максимально комфортные условия.

И, конечно, это еще раз поднимает тему инфильтрации освобожденных территорий и Крыма вражеской агентурой. Чтобы осуществить подобную акцию нужна не только группа, которая будет заниматься непосредственной подготовкой, но и сообщники, которые обеспечат её прикрытие. Не говоря уже о том, что фура явно не пересекала линию фронта, а начинялась непосредственно на месте.

Сегодня у России есть все инструменты, чтобы победить в этой войне. Для этого нужны три базовые вещи:

1) Начать воевать по-настоящему без постоянных оглядок на возможность новых "минских" или "стамбульских" процессов. Инструментарий — есть, цели — тем более;
2) Отстранять тех, кто воевать не хочет и не может, вне зависимости от причин. Не обязательно сажать — достаточно пинка под зад и выхода на заслуженную пенсию;
3) Переходить к военному формату искоренения вражеской агентуры, украинского подполья и активных элементов пятой колонны.

Еще раз — нужна мощная межведомственная структура с чрезвычайными полномочиями. Боитесь назвать её СМЕРШ, называйте по-другому, хоть "клуб любителей енотов", но дайте ей возможность каленым железом выжечь ту сеть, которая взрывает, убивает и саботирут. Людей, которые были бы готовы этим заниматься, которые не боятся проявлять инициативу и которым это интересно — в 140-миллионной стране валом.

Но можно и дальше делать вид, что у нас полицейская операция на дальних подступах. Чем это закончится — нужно объяснять?

@voenkorKotenok

INTERESTING THEORY - QUITE POSSIBLE, BUT NOT CONFIRMED.
The terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge - the explosion could have been organized by suicide bombers located in two cars at once

It is obvious that the terrorist attack that took place this morning was being prepared by Ukraine for more than one day, ro even a month. At the same time, the question of how an explosive device with a capacity of 10 to 20 tons in TNT equivalent could have ended up on the bridge, which is a zone of special control, remains open. It is logical to assume that the SBU has developed a more complex plan than just trying to transport such a huge load of explosives in a heavy truck.

Experts interviewed by Readovka agree that two vehicles could have been involved in the sabotage at once, one of which (heavy truck) was carrying ammonium nitrate or other similar cargo with all accompanying invoices, and the second (car) was a detonator and had an explosive device on its board. This is also confirmed by the video from surveillance cameras, which shows that at the time of the explosion the truck was overtaking a passenger car (carefully review the video from the cameras).

The absence of an explosive device on the heavy truck as such can also be an explanation for the fact that the truck passed through the checkpoints without hindrance. The inspectors let the heavy truck through precisely for this reason - the truck itself could not explode. In a passenger car, an explosive device, in turn, could either be well hidden, or its inspection was not carried out properly.

Another humiliating Russian failure is laughed at by the world... If Russia does not completely change its strategy and tactics, these ukrops will be taking these photos in Moscow.

Ukraine has made civilian bridges fair game. Will Russia finally snap and start destroying Ukrainian bridges over Dnieper?

That river is MASSIVE, and except the Kherson and Zaporizhia bridges, none of them is of much importance to Russia. Crimea is not even seeing much military involvement, but Ukraine's capability to supply its regions will get seriously crippled if those bridges are destroyed.

Well, looking from the moods in Russian Internet, Russian people now see it as fair game and in fact demand a strike on ALL Ukrainian bridges saying that this should have been done long ago. Many call for strikes against other civilian infrastructure (power supply, water supply, roads, airports). Considering the number of Russian missiles spent on destruction of supply depots and other minor military facilities, at least one more big missile strike is not a problem.

Russian people are waiting for Putin’s decision and they are getting angry. It’s in fact the first time we see such number of hawkish statements, usually Russians stay silent about the matter aside for usual internet commenters.

Maybe Russian society is really waking up and getting angry. Better late than never.

By Sasha Kots :

On February 24, they were afraid to stick their nose out into the street. Now they are photographed on the streets of Kyiv against the background of a poster with a burning Crimean bridge. The West applauds the Ukrainian terrorists.
Obviously, the NATO command took part in the development of this sabotage. Everything fits into the plan, which ukroreyh has been implementing since mid-summer. Attacks on warehouses, headquarters, preparation of reserves, transition to active offensive operations. Destruction of transport logistics. Their next steps are also obvious and accurately spelled out by Evgeny Poddubny. The goal is to cut our group. A blow to Kherson and beyond.
What is our answer?
We have given up the initiative and are now responding to their attacks and threats.
What is our plan?
All this "game of humanism" is perceived as weakness and is just an excuse to mock us.
For the "Western world" we are already villains. It's better to be afraid than mocked.
It's time to answer. By all means and means.
It's time to remember to advise military school and act decisively and creatively. Not following the enemy's script, but breaking their plans, delivering unexpected strikes in directions where the enemy does not wait.
Ukraine must be plunged into dark times. Bridges, dams, railways, thermal power plants and other infrastructure facilities must be destroyed throughout Ukraine.
There should be no administrative quarters in both Kyiv and Lvov. And not only.
The reaction of the West should not go unanswered. And these are not statements from the Foreign Ministry. Not calling ambassadors. And not loud statements.
Specific economic measures.
Lenin was right: “The war must be waged for real, or it must not be waged at all. There can be no middle ground."
And if someone has not yet understood this, then they should be replaced by those who clearly and clearly understand that the Fatherland is in danger. And the orders of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief must be carried out. Unquestioningly. And definitely.

The country must move to a military footing.
All.

Federal DefenseCommittee, Smersh.
Everything for the front.
Everything for the Victory.

@kotsnews

It is a step in the right direction, but we need some STOMPS in the ukrop direction. Russia still MUST regain the military initiative to stop looking like they are losing. Because to look like they are losing IS losing.

By Zastavny

The appointment of General Surovikin as commander of the SMO somehow failed to capture the essence of the event, which was nothing less than the de facto removal of the Chief of the General Staff. At least, he was removed from command of the special operation. Sladkov wondered why there was no post of commander of special operations before, it was so simple - the special operations were commanded by the Chief Operative Directorate of the General Staff, directly controlled by N.G.Sh. i.e. Gerasimov.

And what does it mean to transfer command of the SMO to a specific person, General Surovikin? It means that the General Staff is either completely removed from command of the airborne forces, including in the person of General Gerasimov, or now the General Staff is completely controlled by General Surovikin (this is more probable).

In both situations, Chief of Staff Gerasimov is being "moved" away from direct control of Russia's most important military campaign for a very long time. In essence, it could be called a soft suspension.
