Not sure what capabilities the Ukranian's have remaining,but that bridge Putin built connecting mainland Russia to Crimea looks like a big fat FKN target to my eyes,what a symbolic strike that would be along w/a big hit to Putin's pride and joy.
An old airliner stuffed with ANFO and droned (not hard to do with off the shelf parts) flown low over friendly territory, could take out the highway bridge 9/11 style to the north and cut off the Russians west of Kyiv. That pontoon bridge can be dealt with in a similar fashion using a much smaller air craft. They could even be starlink internet controlled with little difficulty, unjamable and tree top capable forever.

now why are you doing this, thought your military was all mighty el Pooty.........
A tank will cost Vlad a tanker of oil! The Ukrainians can destroy the tank with a $30K NLAW or the crew will dessert it, giving it to the Ukrainians. Makes economic sense to me.

The bridge connecting to Crimea is very long and took years to complete,upon completion Putin cut the ribbon himself,a visual symbol of coming back to Mother Russia,I think Putin might have a stroke if the Ukranians could hit it w/something,it's gotta be on their wish list(Ukraine's) and would be the pinnacle of Ukraine punching above their weight as they have during this whole sad shitshow.

There are a million ways to make their lives miserable and short that they won't tell you about for obvious reasons. People are paid to think up this shit though and to execute it with the resources of a state. Same for what we are doing to help, what the Ukrainians are doing or the tactics they will employ. You only get worm's eye views and humanitarian suffering on TV and that is good, it shows the horror of war and why it needs to be avoided and why we tried so hard to do it. This is Putin's war, one man's doing, one man's fault, but not man's guilt or one man's punishment.

Wow, US Javelins which are $175K; thanks Raytheon
The NLAW have a range of 400 meters. The Javelins have a range of 2.5 miles. Ukraine is mainly flat and the NLAW's are more useful in populated areas. Out in the open the 400 m range is not all that great for the Ukrainians.

They have more NLAWS than Javelins which is why progress in the open country along the roads is fast and going through built up urban areas is Hell, or gonna be more so in the days ahead, most main roads go through urban areas.

Things happen that people find difficult to live with, sometimes watching a friend or child die can be more traumatic than your own life being at risk. Experience enough horror and it will break you, or turn you to stone.

But the point is to not have urban areas turned into toothpicks.
The point is to beat the Russians and eject them from the country. Houses can be rebuilt, lives are another matter. They are trading, territory and lives to slow down the Russians and that is best done in urban areas. Even with Javelins, going up against tanks in open ground will cost you. The Russians are largely confined to the roads, it will be mud season for awhile, it even makes flanking road junctions difficult. The stuff is like Manitoba gumbo! ;)

In London, anarchists seized what is believed to be Deripaska's mansion
In London, anarchists seized a mansion that allegedly belongs to Deripaska

Members of an anarchist movement seized a building in London that allegedly belongs to sanctioned Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska.
"By occupying this mansion, we want to show solidarity with the Ukrainian people, as well as with the Russian people, who never consented to this madness," the resistlondon group tweeted in a tweet .

The post is accompanied by a photo of a house believed to be in the fashionable Belgravia area. A Ukrainian flag is hung from one window, and a banner on the door reads "We have liberated this property."

The picture shows a police car, the publication notes that "the police are on site in the street."

Members of the movement claim that the mansion will be used to accommodate Ukrainian refugees, as well as to support the peoples of all countries and ethnic groups.

At the time of publication of the message, RIA Novosti does not own the official commentary of the representatives of the Russian businessman and the British police.
