There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
What’s that sound?
Ev’rybody look what’s goin’ down
“There are reports of explosions and the activity of Russian air defense in many places in the occupied east of Ukraine. According to even Russian propagandists, arrivals were at Donetsk, Makiivka, Khartsizsk, Ilovaisk, Mariupol and other places.”

“The Ukrainian army reportedly used new types of ammunition for the MLRS. Mass shelling was seen in a number of far cities of Donbass. Air defense was actively working over Donetsk. In total, more than 30 explosions occurred.
Mariupol is under attack. There were more than 15 explosions in the city. Most likely, the Armed Forces of Ukraine used new types of long-range weapons, the supply of which was previously announced by the United States, since Mariupol is located deep behind the frontline.”

“Earlier this evening, Rybar reported that GLSDB (150km) missiles were being used by AFU forces.
I personally doubted this however now, numerous sources and officials are saying that the strikes against Mariupol tonight were indeed GLSDB. Still nothing confirmed now.”

“🇷🇺 channels write about a series of “arrivals” in the cities:
- Donetsk
- Khartsyzk
- Mariupol — 15 💥
- Makiivka
- Debaltseve
- Ilovaisk
- Chystiakove (form. Torez)
- Shakhtarsk
- Snizhne
AFU hit several cities with new types of ammunition; in the deep rear under shelling”

“Rockets soared into the sky from Donetsk and Mariupol.
The mayor of Khartsyzsk said that the air defense forces are repelling the attack. Power went out in some areas of the city.”

Putin’s ICBM test failed on Monday. Satan II missile not stronk.
Possibly, 200 were in stock?
“According to an interview with a SAAB representative when the GLSDB was tested at Andøya rocket range (Norway) autumn 2019 the beauty of it is that it takes two well known components and joins them with a cheap adapter. Someone also told the press that Boeing had 200 in stock.”
“Putin’s ICBM test failed on Monday.”
Par for the course.
“”A Boeing spokesperson said in an email they were not sharing any details on how long it would take to get the GLSDB into the hands of Ukrainian forces.”...they had the rocket motors, and sdb’s ready, the interstage, and loading could most likely be done pretty fast”
The terrifying unstoppable Satan II missile ain’t so terrifying.
And the leaking of the news of the failed Satan 2 ICBM test right before Putin’s victory concert tomorrow is a nice touch.
ICBM Launch was from Plesetsk. 2nd stage failure. Just too funny. Russia’s military is a sad joke.
Oh well.
“[The SARMAT ICBM] has been successfully tested before and had this one worked, US officials believe Russian President Vladimir Putin would have highlighted the test in his State of the Nation address on Tuesday.”
50% success rate.
