War with Russia

[Ian H]

*There's a video from a drone of a man lying partly underneath what seems to be a military vehicle looking like he's trying to fix it except the man is a dummy and the van is made of plywood. The drone operator must have sat there thinking the Russians must think we're stupid.

Interesting example of something that works, fools people, when viewed from a plane, but new cheap technology has made obsolete.

Chaos in Russia (this is a packed episode)

• Russians are fleeing Crimea.

• Tolyiattikauchuk* petro-chemical factory in the Samara region struck multiple times (*say that when you're drunk) This is the second largest petro-chemical plant and refinery in Russia and..

I like this post:

• Sitting ducks: Repairs on the Kerch bridge which the Ukrainian drones keep tapping away at, means a makeshift pontoon bridge and very slow moving traffic. But the Ukrainians will keep certain routes open to allow the Russians to escape.

Here is one of those disguised vehicles:

Good news of a different kind:

I see that Russia is celebrating Trump's birthday with fireworks.

Lots of clarity here, especially on Crimea: https://phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-update-189-can-ukraine-isolate?r=1tgexa

Have you done this one yet, @Pinno718 ? The first footage of a Ukrainian Flamingo long-range missile, direct on target?

 

[Pinno718]

Yes. Frikkin ace footage though, didn't see that before so that has surfaced.
First, clear air defences and then send in the expensive stuff. Makes sense really. Russia's major assets/cash generators with no air defences... The writing is on the wall Putin. Do the honourable thing and chuck yourself out of a high window.

That piece from o'Brien is really interesting too - generally sounds like Ukraine has adapted superbly now it's not looking over its shoulder to Trump and is just doing stuff as it sees fit, both in use of arms, and how it recruits and deploys troops.

On another level, it's thumb in Trump's eye.

Only Trump and Maga can't see that they are increasingly making American increasingly irrelevant: Ukraine was an early example of how the US withholding armaments, once Biden was out of office, Ukraine was forced to make alternative arrangements, while Trump took instructions from his mate Putin.

I think this is the same one.

• Pontoon bridge in Chongar struck which means that the routes into Crimea for HGV's are very limited. As Trucks wait in rest areas/clearing points, they are getting struck .
• Between 350 and 400 military vehicles are getting hit on a daily basis. These numbers will reduce as this is totally unsustainable.
• Krymski Tytan - Titanium di-Oxide and Sulphur dioxide producing plant near Crimea hit with dozens of drones.
• The black market for fuel as Russians buy petrol on the mainland and sell it for 5x the price in Crimea.

• Russians stealing fuel from each other in crime spree

• Fuel shortage spreads all the way to St Petersburg with 20L max purchase restriction
• Main oil depot in Rybinsk not far from Moscow hit (as above - BT's post)

Watch this short video with sound. You can hear the 'air defences' - which sound like Kalashnikov's but you then hear the strike. It puts a smile on your face: It's now raining oil in Rybinsk.

Boom

• Chemical plant in Tula hit causing massive fire https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2026/06/14/8039204/
• LPG and oil terminal in Krasnodar struck
• UK Marines board the shadow fleet tanker Smyrtos in the English channel
• Putin says drone strikes aim to divide Russians... ha ha! https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2026...n-drone-strikes-aim-to-divide-russians-a93006 Putin: "...it was them [NATO, the West] who unleashed this war... We did not start the hostilities with the launch of the special military operation..." WTF?!

Russian military units sending vehicles to purchase fuel at their own expense!

Petrol station shop assistant explains that the 'Kamiz' (military unit) isn't allowed to fill up barrels with fuel as 'it has been banned'
