Looks like it is the Oktod Tower, not the Shukhov Tower. That is deffo an own goal, there is just no way the Ukrainians got a semi truck up there by themselves. It may be the antenna coupler couldn't stand the BS any more and committed electrical seppuku. Hopefully it took Vladimir Solovyov off air... The tortology that he employs suggests that he never had a cat called Schrodinger!

One's daughter spoke 10 different languages, and was delightful. I hope she is in any other country that she could talk their language. She could go anywhere though, and speak like a native in a day or two. My Russian friends are very quiet now, and that is the way it has to be, they have a vindictive pathological government, and have had for centuries. They do have vodka though. P.S.: While it is easy to demonise Russia, there are some true, visionary, patriots who understand the damage that the junta of Putin is imposing on Russia. The history of totalitarianism with the attendant violence towards it's own people have subjugated much of Russia and the client states to cattle, as the former Colonel in this video said to the police when they were picking up protesters against the incarceration of Alexi Navalny once again on 2nd February 2021. At least 100 Protesters were carted off for an intimate education of the benevolence of the Putin regime. Navalny had more than 30% of the population in Moscow vote for him, in spite of Putin and his repugnant fascho-criminal regime. There are heroes within Russia, but they have to act in unison to bring down the man who has single handedly brought Russia to this time and place in their current condition. https://twitter.com/i/status/1578893319119450112 |

Google translation:
There is a power outage on the whole of Bornholm this Monday morning, and department manager Ole Westh from Trefor El-net Øst states that there is a break in the submarine cable to Sweden. Bornholm's Energi og Forsyning, BEOF, is about to start electricity production at the power plant at Rønne Havn. The power outage occurred approximately ten minutes after eight, and the entire island is covered, says Trefor, which is responsible for distributing electricity on Bornholm. "We are currently waiting for BEOF to start up the plant so that we can start supplying the island with electricity", says Ole Westh to DR Nyheder. According to Ole Westh, it is not yet known whether the break in the submarine cable is on land or in the sea between Sweden and Bornholm. The message at 8.35 CET is that Trefor expects to have the power back around 9.50. Parts of Rønne have received power again. |

It is not yet made clear who is sabotaging whom; we are still kicking each other under the table.

This has major implications, I would suggest Poland and the Baltic states may well take some sort of action - closing their borders being the least.

The power supply, via sub-sea cable from Sweden to the Danish island of Bornholm was ruptured this morning. Sabotage ? If so, guess by whom... both do break on a regular basis around the world due to many causes (subsea avalanches, ships dragging anchors etc..) so might be a bit premature to jump to conclusions at this stage. |

both do break on a regular basis around the world due to many causes (subsea avalanches, ships dragging anchors etc..) so might be a bit premature to jump to conclusions at this stage. The problem I can see is if the gas pipelines were ruptured with explosive, they could easily have been on a timer or remotely detonated, then why would you simply stop there knowing that once detected the security would be tightened up, surely if you were going to plant charges undetected you would also plant they on other systems at the same time, i.e internet cables power supplies etc. indeed they could have been prepared pre war for all we know. |

The power outage was caused by a local fault on the island, and power has been restored now, via the cable. No signs of sabotage. Sorry if having caused alarm.

Local sources report that one of the Russian Navy's main warehouses has been set on fire.
Arsenal No. 6, is located near the village of Burmakino, Yaroslavl Oblast. This is one of the most important warehouses owned by the Ministry of Defense. |

I would not bet against them going into Minsk and removing Lukashenko. Belarussians are in the war already, on the Ukraine side. Perhaps Lukashenko didn't get that memo?

https://twitter.com/COUPSURE/status/1579465601231507457 One really wonders: GPS disturbed? GLONASS so bad? Run out of High- Tech components? Bad build quality? All of it? It is just one video. Of just one event. And still it tells A LOT (besides targetting civillian/urban areas in general). When will they finally realise that they are destined up sh*t creek - without a paddle. What's the miracle they are waiting for?! The miracle for Ukraine is clear: More an better systems (IRIS-T) going to arrive (sadly not as quickly as one would love to). |
Now that's a near miss: "Russian missile strike misses a pedestrian bridge in Kyiv this morning" https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFoota...eb2x&context=3
Where traffic lights save your life: "A driver records another set of rocket attacks in Dnipro - 10/10/2022" https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFoota...eb2x&context=3 |
When Kyiv is specifically requesting twitter users not to post images/videos which will identify precise time and place of missiles arriving , it is disappointing to see publicity eager posters doing exactly that. (Read history about how 3rd Reich were misled about V1 targeting).

That's my take on it too, when the Belarusian military are presented with a bunch of conscripts a representation of what remains of the russian armies fighting force, that should give them the confidence to arrest lukashenko and end this madness, at least from the Belarus perspective. I suspect if any shots are fired from Belarus then that's all the excuse Poland will need.
My take is that Putin is once again trying to persuade the Ukes that it'll happen and divert resources away from the east + south. |
