It appears that Russia is getting short of S300 complexes considering the distance they have sent the last one from, it also means there are none left in that area.

Erm, two thick planks at work, one soon to be terminated. I think you can say he achieved his bomb disposal aims.

Mass round ups of fresh meat, this time in Moscow for transfer to Ukraine. At least it will start to sink in to Moscows population that they too are expendable.

This interview with Greg Bagwell is required viewing! He has plenty to say about recent Russian air force performance. It's 53 minutes but it's all gold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6_bhjwc2Lw
He is also remarkable positive about training old Soviet style trained Ukraine flying aces on become savvy on the F-16. I've read other stories, where this turned out to be a complete disaster.

Another full scale Russian missile attack on the remaining Ukrainian power stations last night. Up to 70% already destroyed or damaged and predictions that most homes will only receive 3-4 hours electricity a day during next winter.
As well as missiles a real effort is needed on getting generators, transformers and other replacements into the country and linking them up to the grids in neighbouring countries.
12 Missiles and 13 attack UAVs were shot down.
7/10 Kh-101/Kh-555;
1/2 Iskander-K cruise missiles;
4/4 Kalibr cruise missiles;
13/13 Shahed-131/136 UAVs.
Approximate route of missiles and UAVs during this morning's attack.

Bomb disposal is supposed to make the device harmless not make the operator armless.

[Last] night, Russia, for the first time, launched 4 Kalibr missiles from the Azov Sea, not the Black Sea - Ukrainian Navy
"This is an important turning point because they now consider the Sea of Azov safer," - Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk.

VideoConsequences of the arrival of missiles at the Russian air defence training center near Yeysk! Not only the barracks were destroyed, but also the warehouse, probably with "Shahed-136".

Video - literally dragging them out of their cars...With Russia's new "Army or Prison" legislation, Putin's hunger for more trench meat intensifies as shopping malls around Russia are raided, a Saturday night out with friends becomes death in Ukraine. In Bernaul, 200 more for Putin's corpsegrinder.

Russia is now reportedly using Iranian-made Arash kamikaze UAVs on Ukraine.
— First strikes with Arash were reported near Ochakov, Mykolaiv region.
— The UAV was initially mistaken for a cruise missile, but after studying the debris found, it was concluded that they were similar in appearance to the Iranian Arash-1 or Arash-2 UAVs.
— The Arash and Arash 2 are Iranian long-range loitering munitions, also known as kamikaze drones, that have been in service with the Islamic Republic of Iran military since 2020.
— The Arash 2 has a reported strike range of up to 2,000 km and carries a 150 kg warhead.
— It is a larger and more capable version of the original Arash drone, with a wingspan of up to 4 meters and a length of 4.5 meters. — There were also reports that Russia has ordered a significant number of Arash 2 drones from Iran.
