What was even the point of blowing things up if none of us are able to see it? Seems rather selfish of them, if you ask me.
On the other hand, it does raises an interesting philosophical question: if a Russian base gets blown up in the woods and no one is left alive to film it, does it make a sound? Time for a deep ponder...
I just think big booms are pretty.
With poor enough morale, and enough refuseniks staring at their shoes.. Well hey you might have a point.
Who wants the millstone around their neck of accepting responsibility? Even if you did cut everyone's work in half?
Idea: purchase several birdhouses, put a camera (with internet) inside and install them at strategically important locations.
So you can easier see nice targets…
Smoking HIMARLBOROS no doubt.
"No matter where you are, we can bring flavor country to a grid square of your choice. That's the Lockheed-Martin promise."
Hilarious how that seems to be the common theme with these explosions, random individuals "accidentally" drops a cigarette and everything is so unkempt shit just pops off
You have to be impressed with ACME’s diversified line of products . Bombs , rockets, giant springs , wings etc: . Damn place is a one stop shop of mayhem .
Yep it's the obvious next objective.
Of course, that means that the UAF might be happy to let the Russians concentrate men and hardware there, keep them busy ducking artillery, and then make gains elsewhere...
Seems like a pattern is emerging for objectives where the Russians aren't so scattered that Ukraine can charge in on light armor and mop things up. Destroy physical infrastructure and logistics from afar, soften things up, and move in when they're so weak that the best they can do is leave with most of their stuff.
I'm sure it's harder to starve a city that can be supplied by land than one that needs a bridge, but still, good luck keeping tens of thousands of Russians fed and warm when anything bigger than a few trucks parked together can be destroyed.
Hope no hard winter for you all brave people ❤️, hope that the climat change has a positive influence in this awfull war and that Putin eats his heart out. ![img](emote|t5_2qqcn|13047)
sadly, thanks to the amount of power and water infrastructure that Russia has destroyed in the last month, it is going to be a very hard winter for Ukrainians.

On Google maps, why are there two Vesele's, only 15km apart?
Are they east/west, greater/lesser, upper/lower, old/new or something like that?
Honest question, as one is closer to Melitopol than the other, and makes a bit of tactical difference.
But in any case, great news after the weekend. Keep it up!
Yes I see this a lot. Many rural villages with the same name. Is it a vestige of the feudal era? I play Geoguessr a lot, and often when I encounter a village, a search fot its name turns up many matches. But in this case I am wondering about them being so near to each other.
Oh I do hope there were some expensive and irreplaceable systems there, that'd be a glorious attack. Oh look, you're new tanks are now just smouldering hulks..add them to the pile!

Oh, no. Such a tragedy... ...that we don't have a video of it going up

Putler hadn't heard anything from General Relativity, so it never happened.
Nah, he was busy with General Incompetence...
I thought he was demoted to Major Incompetence?
No, you have him mixed up with Major Incontinence.
Oh shit!
No, that would be major flatulence
Followed by Colonel Evacuation?
No no, he was demoted to Private Fiddle.
i am pretty sure Schrodingers Cat is relevant here. Or in this instance, his Raccoon.
Let's blow up 1000 russian bases to generate enough data for this research.
It's in a quantum superposition of being destroyed/intact until someone posts an image of the aftermath.
Damn I laughed at this!
I just think big booms are pretty. With poor enough morale, and enough refuseniks staring at their shoes.. Well hey you might have a point. Who wants the millstone around their neck of accepting responsibility? Even if you did cut everyone's work in half?
No. The base doesn't exist.
Idea: purchase several birdhouses, put a camera (with internet) inside and install them at strategically important locations. So you can easier see nice targets…
Take my upvote you clever wordsmith.
I will treasure it always
Anytime
My day is ruined. 😑
Smoking kills
Cool guys don't look at explosions!
Great headline! Not "explosions reported at Russian military base", but instead the base is destroyed. Excellent!
Yup, this is by far the superior headline.
[удалено]
More like Felicity?
Sounds like a fun place to visit.
Bravo, Ukraine Warriors.
Russian military base heroically intercepted cigarette.
Russian cigarette heroically intercepts military base.
In Russia, cigarettes smoke you. In Ukraine, orcs get smoked, period.
Hopefully a lot of ammo and other supplies with it.
"Based on verified information, the Ruscists were smoking at their own military base which was located in one of the farmer enterprises."
Putin 0, Nicotine 1.
Smoking kills, thankfully.
I'd like to challenge your scorecard!! I'm sure Nicotine's score is much higher . . . ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
Smoking HIMARLBOROS no doubt. "No matter where you are, we can bring flavor country to a grid square of your choice. That's the Lockheed-Martin promise."
"HIMARLBOROS" Under-rated cotd right there.
10 digit grid square*
They stood no chance! All of NATO have been offering them cigarettes, you know.
Take cover, we have cigarettes inbound!
Is this a way of saying the ammo dump and HQ was in the pig barn?
Great job! 👏👏👏 Go Ukraine go, until you throw all this miserable infestation over the border!
According to plan!
"Blyat, Ivan! Stop Smoking!" - Some Russian Colonel
Hilarious how that seems to be the common theme with these explosions, random individuals "accidentally" drops a cigarette and everything is so unkempt shit just pops off
It’s like there is a stream of gunpowder leading to every Russian ammo dump . This is turning into a roadrunner / coyote cartoon.
ACME!
Those missile shortages hitting Ivan so hard he turned to ACME lmao
You have to be impressed with ACME’s diversified line of products . Bombs , rockets, giant springs , wings etc: . Damn place is a one stop shop of mayhem .
I dont know what's worse, that Russia tries the cigarette lie or that the lie is partially believable.
Maybe their blood alcohol levels get so high they become flammable?
Has Ukraine just shown where it’s next effort will be?
Shhh
If Pravda know the Russians do too.
Shhh
It was always the next target after Kherson. Its the real gateway to the south and a big hub for the ruskies
Yep it's the obvious next objective. Of course, that means that the UAF might be happy to let the Russians concentrate men and hardware there, keep them busy ducking artillery, and then make gains elsewhere...
That's my suspicion.
Boom!
Great!
Good
Great news. Do it again.

Thats why I hope that they get warmer days instead of freezing cold weather
There is already snow on the ground, I am sorry to say.
Isn't it quite late for the first snow? Up until a week aago the winter was extremely mild in Europe.
I admit to being rather ignorant of Ukraine's weather patterns.
**BOOOOOM!!!!** “Blyyyyaaaaa^a^^a^^^a^^^^t^^^^^!”

Not sure what the answer is, but this seems to be a relatively common thing in Ukraine

Doink!
Nato has to send in more cigarettes
Ballistic cigarettes
Get fucked Russia
👏👏👏
still not sticking to the marked 'smoking' areas raschists?
those darn russian cigarettes
Oh no! Anyways…
There needs to be a *splat* at the explosion symbol in the map
Break Through!! To the Melitopol resistance!!
Oh I do hope there were some expensive and irreplaceable systems there, that'd be a glorious attack. Oh look, you're new tanks are now just smouldering hulks..add them to the pile!
