The KS-701 Tunets is a patrol boat mostly used by Russian border guard and emergency services. The hull is 8.8 meters (29 feet) in length, and 2.5 m (8 ft) wide. Various sources say it can take 6 to 10 people aboard, plus a captain. The maximum speed is 37.8 knots (700 km/h; 435 mph). The operational range is 200 nautic miles (370 km or 230 miles).
That’s what they get for hijacking a kindergarten.
Everything happened in the temporarily occupied village of Konskiye Rozdory. The occupiers used the building of a kindergarten for their needs: the main hall was turned into a cafe, and in the utility rooms stored ammunition. "It detonated for more than an hour and a half. The flames spread to two KamAZ of the Rashists and the equipment of the collaborators", said mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov.

Sapper has to be one of the most dangerous assignments in all of Ukraine.
Nice missiles you have there. It’d be a shame if anything happened to them.
x Ukrainian Soldiers have destroyed three Russian Buk-series missile systems in the Luhansk region.

The reason no one ever saw an Armata at the front is because Russia has equipped them with the new cloaking technology they got from the Klingons.
x Russia announces Armata tanks ‘pullback’ from Ukraine.
TASS announced last week confirmed the “withdrawal” of Armata tanks from the front line in Ukraine.

When your high-tech air defense system can’t stop cardboard drones.

Speaking of high-tech defenses.
x Attention❗️ Russians need help: there were not enough sacks to fortify the border of the Belgorod region with Ukraine.
Business-minded Belgorod residents sell used bags for 5 rubles to "strengthen" the "second army of the world", locals complained to the governor.

Buryatiya has suffered a disproportionate number of its soldiers killed in Ukraine, but don’t mess with their black market trade or they’ll really get upset. WARNING: At the end of the video one of the Buryats is shot by police.

Well, I guess this explains why he was fired.
x 1/ "I fucked him up so bad that the bastard fainted," says Major General Ivan Popov of the conversation he had with the head of Russia's armed forces, General Valery Gerasimov, that led to Popov's dismissal as the commander of the 58th Combined Arms Army. ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/HNhv4UXJiE — ChrisO_wiki (@ChrisO_wiki) September 3, 2023
2/ An audio recording has been published of part of a conversation between Popov and his former subordinates, in which he talks about his dismissal in July 2023 after he complained about high casualties and the lack of artillery support. 3/ According to the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel, the 58th CAA is suffering from multiplying personnel losses as well as "instances of problems being glossed over when reporting to the leadership." It describes the contact of Popov's recorded remarks: 4/ "The officers of the 58th Army, not waiting for support from the new command and the General Staff, turned to their former commander Ivan Popov. In response, General Popov urged the officers to stand their ground and report only the truth." 5/ "In addition, he described exactly how his conversation with Gerasimov took place on the eve of his decision to resign." 6/ In the recording, Popov tells an unidentified person: "You and I are absolutely alike in this, [that's] just the truth. Especially when you have soldiers behind you and suddenly you have the lives of 1,000 people in your hands. 7/ "If I were cowardly, then I would look into the eyes of my soldiers and officers, I would simply lose face for the rest of my life and then I would never forgive myself for this cowardice. 8/ "I fucked [Gerasimov] up so bad that the bastard fainted. It was a straightforward conversation."This fits with an earlier description of Popov's confrontation with Gerasimov in a leaked audio message published on Telegram by Russian MP Andrei Gurulyov. 9/ In that message, Popov says:"I also raised a number of other problems and expressed it all at the highest level frankly and extremely harshly. 10/ "I had no right to lie, therefore, I outlined all the problematic issues that exist today in the army in terms of combat work and support." 11/ The recording is likely related to recent reports that officers in the 58th CAA, which is fighting on the Zaporizhia front, have maintained contact with Popov as the situation has worsened there during the Ukrainian counter-offensive. He was said to be a popular commander. 12/ A Russian Telegram channel comments that Popov "states that all the problems that he reported in his report have only worsened and no one is taking any action to eliminate them."
Good boy.
