France 24: Putin oversees Russian rehearsal of 'massive retaliatory nuclear strike'
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday oversaw ballistic missile drills remotely, the Kremlin said, hours after Russia moved to revoke its ratification of a landmark nuclear test ban treaty.
Moscow's defence minister Sergei Shoigu also said Russia's forces would also be practising a "massive" retaliatory nuclear strike.
The drills came 20 months into Moscow's Ukraine offensive -- which has raised some fears of nuclear war -- and hours after Russia moved to revoke a key nuclear arms control treaty.
"Under the leadership of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Russian armed forces, Vladimir Putin, a training exercise was conducted with the forces and equipment of ground, sea and air components of nuclear deterrent forces," the Kremlin said in a statement.

Destruction of a Russian MT-LB along with the crew. Krasnohorivka, north of Avdiivka.
Wat is E(x)? 7 or 8?
2 crew and 11 passengers
Bayesian: It is headed to the front. So E(x) = 13
Is the crew still in the vehicle dead? You can see 11 bodies.
But Gerasimov and Putin have more to waste. There are 4 motorized rifle regiments behind the 2 regiments that got mauled on the north flank. These are not mobiks. IMO the Russian will keep pushing until they succeed or all 6 regiments are hors de combat.
It would be nice the president who is sometimes lucent during the middle of the day when given the right Frankenstein concoction would send AMRAAMS and fighter jets to attrite those glide bomb sling dicks.
Gerasimov is like an Iraqi general or Milley. Not bright but loyal.

Never send a spy even a good one to do a JO's job. That is Putin's problem. He was never a grunt, noncom, JO, filled grade or armchair.
I am so happy for Putin. He is good at Judo, hockey, speaking German and Russian law and a spy.
I do not see him as any good at being a statesman, military science, or economics.
Putin is like a lot of American losers. Somewhat bright. Got a JD. Went into politics.
So this Russian JD cum spy cum politician is playing with nukes. What could go wrong?

History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
Hypersonics on Planes over the Black Sea
Unexpected Visits to southern (near the zones of conflict) Military HQs and inspection of units.
Participation in nation wide Nuclear war games.
They are Sending of messages to Europe and the west.
there are reasons the Russians have not utilized their Strategic Rocket and Air Forces in the war with Ukraine. You have to ask, Why are they holding back? It only makes sense if you think about how they see current events.
They do not see this as a fight between themselves and the Ukraine.
But as a fight between them and the west. Being a fatalistic people, They are waiting on NATO.
2:11. nice
The ukies shot down 1 plane
I guess that might make up for the 20+ Ukrainian air craft shot down in the last week or so. Notice you do not hear of many storm shadow attacks lately. Guess the ukies are running out of air frames to launch them.
BTW. British news "Independent" reports that the Ukies are almost surrounded. And they lost control of the slag Mountain. Looks like their lines of re-enforcement and supply will now all be under Russian indirect fire.
Did you not tell us that the Russians were losing down there?
Guess the Russian 70th Division is going to be ok.
The 70th is losing. I cannot believe the Ukrainians are still there. Some nongovernmental Ukrainians site have said Poima was a raid and the troops would leave, that was several days ago.
The Ukrainians troops are not there to trad punches with the Sitskrieg Russians, but if they do 3 to 5 to Russian will die for every Ukrainian.
They are sitting there and strangling the 70th. The roads are covered. Only the long way is really viable. That puts additional strain on the logistical system. The 70th is at the end of the tether.
Are they farming on the left bank? Guess not. Have the supermarkets been done raided? Yup.
The E97 is the MSR. the R2206 is interdicted. If the E97 is interdicted then the P57 is the MSR and that would really suck for the 70th. Longer route means less deliveries. more wear and tear on the vehicles.
"Guess the Russian 70th Division is going to be ok."
Says the paid Russian troll, who does not look at the map, the highway system or consider drones effect on MSRs and ASRs.
Thats if your drones are flying.
I do not see the 70th going any where you I guess your ukie buddies will be throwing themselves against a defense line again. If they do not get run over first. Just like they did at the Slag pit.
As far as interdicting the supply lines, not happening georgio. Not enough ukie rounds , tubes or AC for the ukies to keep it covered 24/7.
Also look out for the counter battery fire. They know the area you are in and are just waiting for you to fire. Bonne Chance
Israeli demand for war supplies has really scuppered the Ukrainian war effort.
Interdiction does not have to be 100% to start degrading and attriting a fighting force. None of those boys in the 70th are overweight anymore. So there is that.
It will not make anything easy for them, that I agree.
That is why both sides fought so hard for the slag pit. Artillery is not called "the king of battle" for nothing.
The Russians are not on the slag pile. A group went up, planted 2 flags and ran away.
Now, if we can get 10 or 20 to run up and replant the flag, we can frag them. the goal is to destroy 2 regiments and the 4 in reserve in the north.
A better goal would be to replace Putin and end the war and not killing Russian soldiers. Since we cannot do the former, we have to go about it the old fashioned way and kill the Russian soldiers.
They took the slag pile yesterday and still hold it.
Your ukie soldiers could not hold on. Not enough Geritol supplies and Geriatric support to keep those geezers going.
Now the price will be paid with that whole area being under russian observation.
Like Bakhumt, There is only one major road in and out. With the mud season. That will become the highway of death.
Epic gamer table
they took the slag pile. So they have people or sensors on it? No.
Other than the photo op to buck up the Russian troops the slag pile became part of the grey zone.
You do not own it until you occupy it.
Now fuck off loser.
