I wonder if the commander objected to the surrender, & that's why there's only the two crew ?

Some also say there's a 2nd video, where the Z is visible, but I guess we'll find out eventually

Looks like Kherson, there's been video of assaults from there like this before. Seems like when they break the line they rush right up to Russian positions with fast moving Humvees dropping troops off and giving suppressing fire. Looks absolutely crazy.

Ukraine should give their highest military honor to whichever Orc Marshal came up with the BTG concept

That, & 30 odd years of institutional rot, & corruption have turned the 10' tall bear, into a timid hamster, frozen in fright on its wheel, that runs away at the sight of it's own shadow.

Elon Musk getting facts wrong again..

And to think that Musk could probably buy his way to be President of the good ol USA if he wants to in a few years time.

There's three crew. The driver is the last one to get out. The original video is 5-6 mins long.

He can't. He wasn't born there.

You don't have to be born there, just a "Natural born citizen". Nobody's actually legally defined what that means strictly, so Ted Cruz (born in Canada but born an American Citizen) is probably okay, but either way Musk is out. Will have to settle for ruling his volcano island base instead.

Didn't stop Ted Cruz from running.
GQP probably figures they'll trigger the constitutional crisis after the elections and the Supreme Court figure it out.

In the first one you can see a boat of some kind appear under the bridge at the same time as a lorry crosses above. One of those? Both?

Everybody is looking at how Russia might try to use a nuke on Ukraine but what if the plan would be to use it on his own people as a false flag? He's got form for this sort of thing.

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2022 9:47 am**

Typical quality Russian engineering !

Lazy gits didn't bolt all the road sections to the piers.

I don't think it would take much to finish off the rail bridge either, after that fire, & if they could, that would fuck up their logistics massively, so it would be worth the risk !

Additionally, panic buying of food and fuel in several Crimean cities reported, Russia hurriedly now setting up a ferry service from Krasnodar area.

And due to the bigger news from Dun Kerch, this got a little overlooked

Because invasion, mass killing, rape and plundering; indiscriminate shelling and rocket attacks for over 7 months isn't of course terrorism...have to wonder what revenge he will plot now as letting it slide will make him look weak to the other hawks in his orbit

Probably atacms or hrim2's. Same as was used on the Saky airbase.

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2022 2:38 pm**

Maybe as a reaction to today's unexpected event, could be a purge in process to find some scapegoats?

[EDIT] well for now it could just be fake news, or something minor blown up out of proportion

It doesn't sound like it & the blast was just too big for any missile the Ukranians have.

The Beeb has an expert that reckons it was a SF operation, with placed charges, but even that is hard to believe, as you'd still need a shitload of explosives, & plenty of time to place them ?

One explosives expert told the BBC the fire was probably not caused by a missile.

"The lack of obvious blast / fragmentation damage on the road surface suggests that an air-delivered weapon was not used," he said.

He said it was possible that "a well-planned attack from below may have been the cause".

"I suspect explosives on the road bridge and train deck were initiated near simultaneously using coded radio command," he added.

Meanwhile Russian sources claiming the rail line will re-open at 20.00 local time tomorrow! Pfft who needs health and safety checks...

that's what I'm wondering about, & the Orcs are saying it too !

It could have been a cunning piece of sabotage of one of the Orcs own shipments, with maybe a GPS trigger added, so you make sue it goes off in the optimum position.

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2022 3:50 pm**

It's said that the truck was going in Krasnodar to Crimea direction, and the driver was named as a resident of Krasnodar.

A test train did at least [EDIT] though inevitably someone claims elsewhere it's not the Kerch Bridge in the video
