The AFU clown show in southern Ukraine scales new heights.
In arguably the most embarrassing debacle of the war yet for Ukraine, they apparently permitted themselves to attempt an MI6-designed and directed commando operation to seize the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
1/
The would-be commandos, 64 in number, recently “trained” in the UK, set out across the Kakhovskoye reservoir in seven high-speed boats, landed on the opposite shore 3 km from the NPP, where they were immediately met by a Russian ambush.
2/
Apparently Russian intelligence was fully aware of their plans and had monitored the debutante commandos from the time they left Poland to pursue their ostensibly glorious operation – allegedly advocated by the corpulent Boris Johnson himself in his recent visit to Kiev.
3/
Of the 64 “commandos”, at least 47 are now dead, a few wounded, and a dozen trapped with no means of escape, all seven of their boats having been destroyed.
The entire undertaking has been an unmitigated amateurish disaster.
4/
As for the long-anticipated “Kherson Counter-offensive”, it appears to be losing steam at a rapid pace.
In the past 24 hours, another 31 tanks, 30 armored vehicles, 8 pickups with machine guns, and 350 soldiers have been destroyed.
5/
In addition to the ongoing massacre taking place near Kherson, another platoon of M-777 howitzers has been destroyed, 44 HIMARS rockets intercepted, and 2 US-made HARMS missiles intercepted in another futile attack on the Antonovsky bridge.
6/
It has become increasingly obvious that, despite having, on paper, a “formidable” force arrayed in the Kherson region, the Ukrainian troops are essentially incapable of anything approaching competent combat-effectiveness.
This war needs to end soon.
7/end

Apparently there were additional two landing boats with each 160 troops coming after the first 64 … but they were sunk … 320 dead in the middle of their route …
Plan was fun … capture plant and sit there with the UN commission, what prevents Russian strikes …

A separate engagement took place about an hour later to the West of Energodar, which hosts the power plant, Moscow explained. Russian forces attacked and sank two watercraft that were carrying Ukrainian amphibious tactical teams, the statement said.
The ministry also claimed that about two hours after the landing of the commando units, Ukrainian artillery began shelling a specific location near Energodar. Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), who are on their way to visit the facility, are scheduled to pass by the area, according to the report.

The IAEA was stupid to travel to the plant via Ukraine, which does not control it, rather than via Russia, which does.
Put the survivors on trial. In front of the whole world.
