BeauBo: "Impressive blast wave effect, surprising fireball."

Perhaps the link below shows a GLSDB impact.

The video was taken by a SHARK UAV which can laser designate the target.

Also note that some of the GLSDB variants have laser guidance.

Yes, that was the video.

In retrospect, it was likely enhanced with a brief overlay of a nuclear blast, for visual effect.

Ukraine shot down 3 enemy war planes this morning.

On the morning of February 17, 2024, in the Eastern direction, units of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed three enemy aircraft at once - two Su-34 fighter-bombers and one Su-35 fighter.

Another Patriot trap?

Avdiivka is ours. What’s next?

Our army with heroic efforts and great bloodshed took Avdiivka. Noting the heroism of the Russian military (glory to them!), we cannot help but wonder what will happen next at the front.

Firstly, almost all military personnel really want to rest. “In the last few days alone, we have almost 5,000 killed and wounded in Avdiivka. You need to stop, heal, strengthen yourself so that the enemy does not launch a counterattack.

Many soldiers want to go on vacation, and those who have been mobilized hope that they will be affected by demobilization (by the way, we have important news about demobilization, we will publish it a little later. We know for sure that the process has reached the home stretch - ed.),” he told us one of the generals of the General Staff.

And according to an officer who took part in the assault on Avdiivka, many military personnel fear that there will be no such rest, and they will have to continue active actions.

“There are rumors that Vladimir Vladimirovich is already setting the task of taking the entire DPR by mid-March. I hope this isn’t true. It’s difficult to select cities for specific dates, but here we’re talking about an entire republic,” our interlocutor said.

Secondly, those around Vladimir Putin confirmed to us that he would like to take control of the entire territory of the DPR before the Presidential elections.

But Vladimir Vladimirovich has not yet decided whether to pose such a task to the military, and began to have “conversations and discussions” with them on this topic. There is currently no goal to recapture the DPR by mid-March.

Thirdly, now the President will be able to implement his plans for Donbass.

Let us remember that he demanded that Avdiivka be taken by the first days of March in order to record an appeal against the backdrop of the Avdiivka coke plant (by the way, no reserves of Western equipment that Putin spoke about have yet been found in the basements of the plant).

The President also wants to visit Donetsk closer to the elections (that’s why it was so important to take Avdiivka and move Ukrainian artillery away from the DPR capital). But that’s not all.

Putin intends to expand the program of his stay in the DPR. In particular, he would like to arrange a number of symbolic events in the context of the fight for the denazification of Ukraine at Saur-Mogila.

Vladimir Vladimirovich even wants to go up there on his own to show his strength and health. He also intends to visit wounded military personnel. Including in Gorlovka - by the way, the same hospital where Philip Kirkorov came.

Vladimir Vladimirovich’s plans are still being finalized; we will tell you more about them later.
