⚡️⚡️⚡️BREAKING: Hits on the Bryansk Chemical Plant (key producer of gunpowder, explosives, and rocket components for Russian artillery/MLRS) are reported in Russia, and the 67th GRAU Arsenal (storing North Korean shells, KAB glide bombs, anti-air missiles, and MLRS rockets).

As ever wait of confirmation but if true it’s interesting. The AFU seem to have no issues with ALCM attacks during the day. Despite the Russian NV passive thermal on gun systems seeming to be poor and therefore worth exploiting, previous strikes ( BSFLOT HQ) have gone in daytime.

If this was filmed near the target, then the absence of any AA fire is telling. And no NATO wouldn’t do any better at point defence of critical infrastructure. Guns guns guns right David Brookfield (大卫) - #NotACat 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ?

Meanwhile…

Jesus where has time gone.

The circle of American disappointment begins again. Excitement Expectation Prevarication Disappointment Anger Rinse and repeat.

We should absolutely not repeat not go within one hundred miles of this. It’s got long term COIN ops written all over it. A population with a fucking grudge the size of Wales. Terrorist organisations who won’t disarm and are just on the back foot, not out yet.

Meanwhile, RAF AAR and RC135 arrive in theatre.

It is warm work; and this day may be the last to any of us at a moment. But mark you! I would not be elsewhere for thousands.
