Just a hedgehog that follows the war in Ukraine. I post stuff I find interesting. I sometimes write newsletter about the war, I am bad at keeping up with it.
Very little fluff, almost exclusively war stuff

I thought this was interesting. This guy argues that the Midvolga-2, the ship with sunflower oil wasn't actually targeted by Ukraine. He makes at least a decent case based on the little public information available. He thinks it's possibly a Russian false flag

From a Russian. Complaining that they're running out of MLRSes in the 37th Motorized Rifle Brigade and have to use terrible Chinese ones they can get their hands on. Says their industry has fallen apart and can't make more MLRSes.

Russian drone spotted in the Sumy area. It's a bunch of smaller FPVs ziptied together basically. My guess is this is their way of making a Baba Yaga style heavy bomber

Russian Molniya-2 drone failure. This is why Ukrainian bombs have an arming delay in them much of the time. If this thing had even a 1 minute delay, they could have recovered and reused this drone and not endangered themselves with this explosion. They're just being lazy and not smart.
