The Special Military Operation continues as Russia's most advanced air defense system gets annihilated by a missile coming from what can only be the air.

I don't think Georgia has to worry that much. Russia has shown the world that their army is a laughing stock, they can't even conquer Ukraine and want to open up another front? Lmao.

Prigozhin is now prigone. Non credible defense has lost a great source of memes. The world at large though has lost nothing of value.

Insane amount of mines, liberated Kherson Demining Update:

(Since Aug 18), sappers surveyed 75,028.7 hectares (290 sq mi) of territories in the de-occupied Kherson Region, of which 63,681.6 hectares (245 sq mi) were agricultural land. In these territories, 93,116 explosive objects were detected and neutralized.
(As previously reported on Aug 18) sappers had by then surveyed 72,855.7 hectares of territories in the de-occupied Kherson region, of which 61,943.2 hectares are agricultural land. In these territories, 92,240 explosive objects were detected and neutralized.
From (August) 18th to the 22th in Kherson you have:+2173 hectares, 1738.4 of which are agricultural land+876 explosive devices detected and destroyed
That is
*434.6 hectares (1.68 sq mi) per day
*175.2 explosive devices per day

This is for the region Ukraine liberated last November. The regions being fought over right now are mined orders of magnitude heavier.

And:
How do you explain to your boss that a drone was flying over your "super high tech air defense system", filming it as it was hit by a missile it's supposed to be able to shoot down?

Several people predicted that he would not last long after that half assed coup of his. And there it is.

Still, the world is a better place with one less bastard in it.

Killed by Putler or faked his death, in both cases Wagner is not a problem anymore.

Wagner is still a big problem, especially in Africa.
It's just under new management.

 

[F0rneus]

I am shocked I tell you! Shocked!

 

[dem]

What the fuck was Prigozhin thinking?
He really thought he was gonna just make a deal and hang around?

Everybody wins.

I bet most countries who bought S300 and S400 systems are now regretting their choice of hardware.

Successful denazification by RF forces. Wait a minute...

[Goalus]

This is an unexpected coincidence.

 

[FUBARx89]

A wagner affiliate telegram channel apparently reporting shot down by Russia air defences.

Wonder if Wagner troops in Belarus will retaliate. Apparently very loyal to Prigz.

 

[Nikodemos]

I'm huffing a bit of copium and hoping it was a feint, and he's still alive. It would 100% cause him to openly rebel against the entire Russian state, not just Shoigu.

Obviously, it's most likely Putin.

...but then, his death could martyr him to a rather large section of the Russian public.

Who would benefit most from that kind of fomentation?

Wouldn't surprise me if Russia tries blaming Ukraine.

 

[DragoonKain]

If you come at Putin, you need to deliver the killing blow, otherwise he'll make it his life's mission to take you out.

Probably.

Could be
Interesting if it's
Another group, though.

But that would imply Russia cant protect their own, and that Ukraine has the power to kill high ranking people.

 

[Liljagare]

Ukrania, the country’s Ministry of Defense has published a 50-second tribute video to Sweden on its social media platforms.

In the video, Ukraine thanks for all the military support that Sweden has sent to the country. A variety of Swedish weapons and military vehicles are displayed to the tune of the old Abba song “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)”

 

[MisterFalcon]

Well, this time Igor Girkin has an alibi, he did not shoot it down by 'mistake'.

Russian Day of long knifes, its about tighter control and he was popular with some African leaders, so that also can't be had.

 

[FUBARx89]

Another group, though.

Another, internal group would most likely imply doing Putin a favour or trying to save their arse if he's going on a purge.

External could be Chechnya rebels. Lol. Or they could try blame Georgia since Putins already eying up territory to annex.

Same day they've officially removed Surovikin from his post aswell (has he been windowed yet?), so it looks like a purge for the failed coup, to me anyway.

They should of kept marching to Moscow tbh. They had the Kremlin buckled in fear.

Could be.
But that would imply Russia cant protect their own, and that Ukraine has the power to kill high ranking people.

Wouldn't be good to say it was Ukraine, as you say, makes Russia look weak as piss and unable to protect its airspace, but then again having drones crashing into buildings from Ukraine already makes them look weak and unable to protect their airspace.
