Starting to think Russian AD crews drink more than most Russians. With AD fire like that it looks like they're helping the AFU.
Makes me wonder how many Russian civilians have been injured, killed or made homeless by these boozed up fascist twats. I'm sure it's a number greater than zero.

What you are not supposed to wildly fire heavy caliber machine guns into your own city?

I love geo locating positions from video.

More proof that one of the first things that float off and vanish when chugging on cases of vodka is situational awareness.
Side bar: This newer Russian AA platform is going to be wasted if panic firing is the norm and from what I've witnessed in that clip, it sure does look that way.

Sat imagery indicates heavy damage to the infrastructure at the Novorossiysk oil terminal.
All loadings are currently suspended and the pipeline that supplies oil to the port has shut, per reports.

Its rumoured that Ukraine's new cruise missile/drone - the Bars - was used at Novorossiysk.

Ukraine already operates 2 SAMP/T systems so they would be at 10 at full delivery.

Well what the hell. Does this mean someone is implicated in that corruption scandal that was just uncovered? Sounds like he knows Zelenskyy won't accept excuses.
I've found that source to be less than reliable.
Good way to bring Turkey into the war:

The Russians would have to shoot down something Turkish for that to happen. They're not going to war over a damaged propane carrier.

I'm not too familiar with them, and I think I see why now. My bad.
Russian or Hungarian FUD, has to be, right? Umerov was put through crazy vetting after Reznikov. The slavic penchant for side hustles and 'wetting your beak' are as dangerous to Ukraine as Russians are, I would hope they all understand that perfectly by now. Not the Justice and Energy ministers apparently.
Orban does seem pretty intent on getting the EU to abandon Ukraine. God I hate that guy.
Says the one who wants to attack Ukraine and the neighbours by later in order to recover territory. Orban is really a hypocrite.
Not only pissing off turkey russia decided to also go after poland:

Update on Shield AI's formidable V-BAT in Ukraine: they friggin love it. These units, used correctly and in sufficient numbers, might be the next best thing to having real time satellite intel. I don't believe there is a Russian analog to this drone. Or a jamming method it gives a shit about.
Can go almost anywhere, keeps getting better. Plant in Dallas can do better than 6-10 per day if it wants to. I hope Kyiv uses some of that Norwegian cash to make it rain in Texas. While working on domestic designs with similar abilities, of course.
Shield AI has also developed a sensor payload known as Sentient Tracker, which combines artificial intelligence with Shield AI’s (formerly Sentient Vision Systems) moving target indicator. Its AI-enabled tracking allows operators to automatically detect moving objects within electro-optical (EO) or infrared (IR) full-motion video.
“During a recent demonstration, the Shield AI team performed a search over an area twice the size of Dallas, in about 90 minutes,” explains Harris. That demonstration enabled us to get an image file of every person and every single vehicle in that entire area. Comparing that to a moving target indicator radar image, for example, where you get loads of little dots on a map, with our system you get an actual image.”

“In Ukraine, there has been a massive emphasis on a fourth-generation fighter capability in the form of the F-16, yet F-16s can’t get anywhere close to the front-line because of the surface-to air-missile [SAM] systems that are prevalent here,” Harris says.
“V-BAT is able to operate without GPS in a hostile communications-jamming environment. It can fly into an area, locate and identify targets, and fly missions way out ahead of fighter aircraft. Historically, the suppression of enemy air defense [SEAD] mission has been considered to be a role for fighter aircraft, but now we’ve proved in Ukraine that a V-BAT in the danger zone can team with a stand-off weapon such as HiMARS to execute the mission, which is a very effective strategy.”
