🧵Russia just lost $200M in supersonic bombers because they lacked an extension cord. Crews crammed six Su-34s wingtip to wingtip around one power cart outside empty shelters. A missile hit the exact center. Pro-war Russian channels are annotating the ash. 1/🧵

🧵"Dobropillia taken. On the map, one more dot. Only you had to get to that dot alive." When a Chechen general posted this tribute, he accidentally exposed the truth: Russia's latest victory was just a suicide mission for a photo op at a Ukrainian coal mine. 1/🧵

The real bill lands where maps cannot hide it. Ukrainian drone strikes on Rostov fuel terminals crashed port cargo volume by 65% in a month, stranding Russia's massive wheat exports. A general can draw fake wins, but a governor cannot export wheat from a burning port. 10/

While Ivanayev feeds Putin fake dots, Ukraine's 159th Brigade quietly raised its flag in Karaichne, a village Moscow claimed to take in May. A dictatorship can lie about its ground, but fake map dots do not stop real flags from rising. Report: 11/🧵 professorbonk.substack.com/p…

Russia has invented a new way to capture a city: Tell Putin. It has one flaw, and a Chechen general named it this week: somebody still has to reach the magic dot alive. Plus, four in five of the men called up to fight did not come to the phone. 🇺🇦⬇️🎧 professorbonk.substack.com/p…

He deployed before football season started and returned in week 7 of the next one. A heavy hexacopter drone flew into hostile territory and executed the first-ever battlefield rescue of a soldier by air, pulling him out from the one angle Russia wasn't watching. 13/

Moscow fakes victories for TV, arrests train-spotters, and promotes defeated generals. Ukraine keeps real wins off the map until the job is done and leaves no man behind. The Full Report: 14/🧵 professorbonk.substack.com/p…

At sea, Russia reflagged shadow fleet tankers with gemstone names like "Sapphire" and "Jet," wrapping their decks in chicken wire cages to protect against suicide drones. Luck is cheaper than air defense, and Moscow has priced both. 11/

The ultimate contrast played out near the Oskil River. After a drone strike wounded both his legs behind enemy lines, Ukrainian infantryman Kostiantyn Vlasenko self-amputated his lower limbs to survive. Nobody marked him on a map. He held his position for 491 days. 12/

When asked why air raid sirens didn't sound over St. Petersburg, officials admitted that turning them on would "cause panic." In Rostov, the governor told citizens that if a siren sounds, they should check their smartphones to see if it’s actually real. 7/

To fund the war, Russia’s budget arithmetic matches taking the US defense budget, adding Social Security and Medicare to it, and telling hospitals to read the memo. Meanwhile, Ukraine spent the night burning the Druzhba oil pipeline 230 miles inside Russia. 10/

While failing generals get cabinet seats, Russia’s 2027 budget channels 35% of all national spending into defense, slashing healthcare, social policy, and education. Regional governments even cut burial payouts for dead soldiers from 2 million rubles to 100,000. 9/

In Moscow's war machine, catastrophic failure is rewarded. Colonel General Alexander Lapin, who lost Lyman in 2022, was confirmed as Vice Premier of Tatarstan in an 87-to-1 vote. His new job: running support for veterans of the war he helped lose. 8/
