(Another) Russian Blunder Leads To (Another) Command Center Wipeout




Hmmm.  Take picture at your HQ.  Leave geotagging function on. Wait 24 hours.  BOOM!

Russia has lost yet another command post to a Ukrainian rocket strike after a headquarters in Donbas was blown up Thursday, officials have claimed. 

Video from the occupied city of Lysychansk uploaded to Telegram and taken by Chechen special forces appeared to capture the moment the rockets struck on Wednesday afternoon, sending plumes of smoke into the air.

More footage then documented the aftermath, with a Russian flag shown fluttering limply over a courtyard strewn with rubble as men in military fatigues milled about.

Serhiy Haidai, the regional governor, said Ukraine had struck the base - which had been set up inside the old headquarters of Kyiv's security services - and killed around 100 Russians, including commanders of the 2nd Army and 20 FSB officers.

It comes just two days after the Ukrainian headquarters of the notorious Wagner mercenary group was blown up after a Russian propagandist accidentally gave away its location in a photograph.

The Russians are very adept war criminals, but they aren't very good at this modern warfare thing, it turns out.
