Ukraine War Thread Part 2
Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
Well, Ukraine has crossed its self-imposed line to striking Russian Military supporting civil electrical infrastructure.
#BREAKING Very powerful explosion reported at Sevastopol Thermal Power Plant.
So, I knew the generator transformers at the sanctions-busting Sebastopol natural gas combined cycle power plant were "buried" by concrete barriers which were "buried" in the center of the concrete structures of the plant itself, to understand it was a low probability of success high value target, but I never turned-on terrain to look at it in more detail.
The power plant is in the bottom of a mountainous valley, well beyond the navigational precision capabilities of Ukraine's long-range UAVs, making this a very, very low probability of success high value target…..
If true, the only weapon system Ukraine had available to do any damage on the thermal plant in a steep valley, were Neptunes, Storm Shadows or SCALP-EG.
Hopefully, they hit the protected transformers with this strike.

If Putin continues this war, then Ukraine will start to get very angry.
Now the Russian public are facing reality.

Reference #5266 and the strike on the Naval HQ, hopefully this means it was accurate enough to hit the briefing room and the others killed were his senior command…
It appears Russia's Black Sea Fleet Commander, Admiral Viktor Sokolov will not face trial at the Hague for war crimes. Reports that he has been killed in the daytime strike on his headquarters in occupied Crimea.

This pretty well sums it up.
An admiral and half his staff got taken out by a country with no navy to speak of

This sounds totally reasonable to me, rather like the U.K. is now buying replacement artillery to replace that supplied to Ukraine.

A Ukrainian Mig 29 getting hit on the ground.
In war, one's enemy usually shoots back.

There could be two more Generals taken out of the equation too.
The one thing this shows me is the arrogance and total lack of understanding and respect the Russian higher command have for Ukraines capabilities, no wonder they appear to be losing the war.
Having had one Black Sea Fleet Headquarters hit days ago, with the apparent loss of senior staff, they still operate out of a building that is such a prime target, believing in their impunity to be next in the Ukrainian cross hairs.
Even Saddam Hussein wasn’t stupid enough to go anywhere near a building of high strategic importance and would meet in different innocuous houses.

Interviewed Ukraine’s Commanding General for the counteroffensive in the South, Oleksandr Tarnavsky.
Main points: Praised strikes on Russian navy in Sevastopol, said he expects big push when his forces reach Tokmak, says fighting will NOT be slowed in Winter because they are using mostly small units and less heavy vehicles to advance, is not very concerned about the Surovikin line.

New explosions are reported in occupied #Sevastopol. A strike is reported near Inkerman, where the Black Sea Fleet's oil depot is located.
