Someone asked me one time how many followers I had. I honestly didn't know or even how to look. I got on twitter for its original purpose: To allow me to shout my thoughts into a dark void and not at unsuspecting staff, or the delivery guy.
Unconfirmed (but): Oh fuck. So they sent an A50 crew up to pick up another A50 to return it to Taganrog to replace the ones that were damaged last week on that IL76 and it fucking had a bird strike and crashed. Do I have that right?
My name is Will, I am an Australian citizen, and today, I stand with Ukraine more than ever before.
There are millions of us.
I wish strength and courage to the Ukrainian people.
Never should the aggressor be rewarded for its brutal war and invasion.
Slava Ukraini ! 🇺🇦🇦🇺

Nothing quite like a penetrating strike to set the entire hot hydrocarbon contents of a distillation column off in one go for your 💥Boom!💥 of the Day @OckersM
By the way, this is what a 500 kg bomb looks like when 🇷🇺 used it on a hospital in 🇺🇦 on 3 October (same day they killed 51 in Hroza at a funeral) Where is the world outrage? x.com/realwarmonitor…
Based on the nature and colour of this fire, I reckon they have hit the gas processing and storage area 🔴 in the picture below. Good choice as it is a sympathetic target for a small drone and will definitely take the whole facility offline. This facility . . ./1
Ukrainian drones successfully hit the Russian Konakovo Power Station outside of Moscow this evening.
The natural gas-fired power station is heavily burning.
See, the 🦉don’t care if the S200 is 50 year old kit. If you want to shoot down and A-50 Beriev (Feb ‘24) or a Tu-22 (Apr ‘24) nothing beats this bad boy right out of Thunderbirds. It uses launch boosters and a liquid fuelled main engine to . . ./1
Ukraine's GUR just revealed the first footage of its S-200 Gammon SAM unit, restoring and using the massive Cold War-era missiles to hit Russian targets.
Ukrainian S-200s have reportedly been used to down multiple high-value Russian aircraft, and hit Russian ground targets.
So, the question of the day seems to be: Why is 🇺🇦 now targeting very small refineries like Maryiskiy and NS-Oyl?
Well it certainly isn’t for their capacity or complexity, with both having limited unit operations and crude capacity of only 2 MM and 600 K tons per annum . . ./1
Really considerate of 🇷🇺 to put the weapons magazine right next to the jet fuel tanks at Engels. That concussion with a mushroom cloud that looks like a nuke went off created secondaries at the magazine that could affect the fuel tanks to the NW.
I applaud the decision of the 🇦🇺 government to donate 49 M1A1 Abrams tanks to 🇺🇦 so thanks to @RichardMarlesMP and @AlboMP on doing the right thing. Let’s make sure they arrive expeditiously and I hope that this is only the start . . ./1
. . . serves to balance loads for the nearby nuclear power plant, and its loss in conjunction with any others that can be hit as well as strikes on major substations near the NPPs could cause some serious problems for 🇷🇺 industry (oh look, and without killing heaps of civilians).
