Russia is charging CNN's @npwcnn, @dianabutsko, and Olesya Borovik with illegally crossing the border while reporting on Ukraine's incursion into Kursk region. The FSB says it will put an international warrant out for their arrest. https://t.co/IMvhCP8hG5 pic.twitter.com/CfOqgfehNe

Military correspondent Kotenok complains about the delay in the construction of defensive structures in Kursk and Kurchatov. He is shocked by the inefficiency of local managers, and the thoroughly corrupt system in which everything has to be done at the last moment. pic.twitter.com/JyTtyozPxI

Every morning in Russia now is a Groundhog Day: drones are flying, an oil depot is burning somewhere, another military convoy was destroyed, Putin visited places that have nothing to do with the war. Every single morning.

The special operation is going according to plan.

/9. Judging by the fact that in each hangar in a row there was a jet, there is quite a big chance that in those fully destroyed hangars there also was one in each. pic.twitter.com/ovhtcQq6Rr

... and the 'AFTER' image (30cm from 22 Aug 2024 07:58 UTC)
Still analyzing but given the interest, I shared what I thought were the areas that got hit
Once again, less about airframes. Good amount of destruction around the hangars and just north of there https://t.co/Ows1Tus3Lk pic.twitter.com/LSbd54hcLo
🇺🇦🇷🇺 Looks like Ukraine used OWA-UAS with shrapnel warheads to strike the airbase. I think this is a new development? Haven't seen that before. https://t.co/E9GlJE80Jv pic.twitter.com/6oquNse1ra

Russia's repair bill has gone from costly to horrendous and disgusting.
Too bad they didn't manage to destroy all hangars. Seems like there's really one plane in every single one of them. That would have been the biggest loss for Russia in the whole war.

Well...Depends on if they were still there I suppose, drones are slow, easy for Russia to fly the planes out before they're hit.
Hard to say how many were hit/destroyed with these damn shelters now, Lol.
For example this was hit but no plane.

Does look like 1 destroyed, 1 damaged here.
Russia has been taking incredible losses in kursk, and they will have to pull troops from the front now to fortify the borders that aren't hot yet. Putin doesn't want to be humiliated further and his generals will have to make a hard choice.
