Nutloose,
You're generally doing a grand job but that link is from 9 months ago, and the recent "Russians are advancing" post was a laughable fake. I thank you for providing all the info that you do, but a little scrutiny might be appropriate before posting things that are clearly old or garbage.

HFD (returning to receive mode)

I take a different view. I do not believe he should filter content, but present it on this forum for our interest. We can all judge for ourselves what is fake or otherwise. Given the repeated threats to use nuclear weapons by various Russian mouthpieces, I think a reminder of a possible US/NATO response is apposite.

Clearly we can't all.

Does it being 9 months old make it less relevant?

As for the Russians advancing in the Kupyan region, that contained two separate post from two separate individuals. But hey ho, there are lots of links referring to it.... read below

Mastiff hit by two mines, all survived, looks repairable.

F-16 training heads up

Looks llike they are attempting to lift the twisted bridge span and the factory at the other end is open judging by the car park, that was the place that produced the last repairs IIRC

I am always amazed that people are so desperate for "Likes" and attention that they post up to the minute intelligence for the enemy to use.
The Ukrainians are pretty hot on stopping this, but not always successfully. The Russians however are just dumb.
Remembering the old WWII posters, "The Walls Have Ears," the Russians need to start their own campaign.
"Idiots have phones too."

Here's hoping the Ukrainians hit the bridge again soon and take out that crane at the same time. As a crane that powerful will likely be in short supply, with no civi human shields in the way.

russian su-25 crashed in yeysk on the azov sea... the pilot ejected but ended up drowning.

now russians on telegram are bvtthurt that none of the people on shore seemed to care, they just kept on drinking beer and swimming even though there were a lot of jet skis around and an enterprising person could have reached the pilot and helped bring him to shore....

this is the result of conscious russian government policy for 20 years telling people to stay out of politics and don't look out for each other and if you do show initiative you'll be punished....

as for the pilot, I won't say I'm happy he died but at least he won't be attacking any Ukrainian civilians now....

I like “we have ways to incentivise these people”! As developed and practiced on the frontline with reluctant conscripts perhaps?

Not at all.

Herr Flick with a new employer, perhaps?

Yes, unfortunately.

Not sure what you mean by the twisted span? Looks to me as if that crane is connected to the Northern (Westbound) carriageway. They may be trying to shift it back or just to support it to stop it going further.

With regard to the bridge, I am puzzled as to why Ukraine doesn't finish the job? Perhaps I'm naively missing something?

Putin: “If you destroy my bridge…”

The Ukes: “Well, we could, anytime. Mind if we just bend it a little to show you, then?”

I'm no expert but that crane does not look hefty enough to me to lift a bridge span, especially angled that far from its base. I think it more likely that they are leaving the offset between sections of the far span as is for now and just dropping some plate steel across the gap so that vehicles can continue to drive over.

Or a manbasket to do inspection.

The naughty boy in me wants to put another bomb under a bit ot the bridge somwhere behind all that plant and leave it marooned.

I think your bomb might be better placed on the railway line!
