Taganrog pummeled by missile leaving massive crater in street and people trapped
Mirror ^ | July 28, 2023 | Jeremiah Hassel

Posted on 07/28/2023 9:23:22 AM PDT by McGruff

As many as 15 people have been injured in two explosions that damaged a residential building and left a crater in a central square in the Russian city of Taganrog on Friday.

Windows shattered, and the building was nearly reduced to rubble.

A column of smoke now rises over the city, which is near the Ukrainian border.

Claims of people trapped under the debris have been circulating, but that is yet unconfirmed.

Disturbing videos show passersby running around in a panic, trying to find loved ones or avoid more falling debris.

“No high road”

You mean like conducting a sneak attack on Crimea by out of uniform regular Ruzzian troops?

Or last year Ruzzia lying about an ‘exercise’ before opening up the biggest offensive in Europe since World War Two?

Some high road you have there.

and knowing way too much about the USA's long history of False Flaggery this was probably just a gas explosion and The USA backed Nazi Zelensky regime(not a hyperbole but FACT) will claim it was a Russian missle targeting civilians.

that is way more plausible than a russian missle attack gone astray, although I wouldn't rule it out.

This is why the chubs should not be given “long range missiles” regardless of what “ promises” they make about using them.

Yep.

Russia NEVER and still has no plan or desire to "flatten Ukrainian cities" and it never happened.

Oh yeah? Then what do you call THIS?

“Ukrainian war crime.”

Too soon to say. From pictures, there appear to be fragments of Russian S-200 AAA missiles.

My assumption is this is debris from a missile going somewhere else (e..g, the military airfield there) that was hit by S-200 missiles or the S-200s that self-destruct without hitting anything, and it just happens the intercept was over the town.

Fortunately, it looks like no fatalities.

I’m not getting paid at all! What a ripoff! How much do you get paid for posting Ruzzian propaganda? I need some Christmas money and if you people are hiring I’ll consider it!

What city is that and who did the damage to it? Ukraine has been shelling the Donbas region for eight years now.

That’s Mariupol, as you well know, completely destroyed by the Russians during the first three months of the invasion.

If Ruzzia doesn’t like it when war happens then they should not start wars.

Ruzzia started the war and incorrectly assumed they could flatten Ukrainian cities

Russia's strategic error at the outset was that they tried to minimize damage to infrastructure.

“Russia’s strategic error at the outset was that they tried to minimize damage to infrastructure.”

Slavic thinking in general (Ukraine included) isn’t terribly sophisticated. For the most part in WW2 if they saw a German tank or German strong point they went straight at it regardless of the cost in blood.

Ukraine had the benefit of several years of NATO training and their response to Russian tanks was to avoid armor vs. armor battles and instead concentrated on attacking the soft target of Russian logistics.

Thus Ukraine captured a boatload of Russian vehicles that ran out of fuel or ammunition. This was far less costly in Ukrainian lives than attacking those targets head on.

Likewise at the outset of the war the Russians looked for the obvious targets and often passed up opportunities to destroy more important and much more vulnerable Ukrainian targets.

They still have yet to pivot to a newer mindset and this is costing them as they are unable to defeat Ukraine.

Their solution is to draft older men and send those older men into battle. The older men are far less likely to do brave things and far more likely to kill the officers ordering them to go commit suicide on the battlefield.

It really is as if the Soviet Union never died.

Perhaps sometime soon it will. But as you point out and I will agree, this war is not Ukraine’s to win it is Russia’s to lose.

Nobody should “ like it” when civilians are rocketed or shelled in their towns and cities, especially Americans whose tax money is paying for the weapons.
