It wouldn’t be nearly as satisfying as accidentally falling from a window due to seizures from Polonium 210 poisoning and landing on a pile of mangled tank parts in the process of being melted down. And then being reincarnated as every single person who died as a result of his actions.
That would seem to sum up the entire Ukrainian war effort.
The Guardian has eliminated their Ukraine section.
There’s a War at a Glance link on the front page.
I know there’s been very little hard facts reported out of Ukraine.That’s how they want it. Denys Youtube channel is the best source for details on battles. He seems sincere but he’s still limited by his sources.
I’ve decided to create a Telegram account to follow Deny. There’s video he can’t post on YouTube.
Being reincarnated as someone who is dead – how does that work?
“The Egg” by Andy Weir has a kind of retroactive reincarnation.
A big explosion happened to a Russian vehicle.

The UR-77 Meteorit is a Soviet mine clearing vehicle.
Yikes. From Wikipedia:
The vehicle is armed with a launcher and two mine-clearing line charges. When launched, a charge causes a shock wave that destroys or disables all the shells or mines along the area of the line charge (with a width of 6 metres and length up to 90 metres).[4]
Something tells me that the clearing line charges might have cleared the wrong thing.
It certainly found something…
I can’t help but think about the psychological’s of the crews riding in vehicles behind that huge boooom …
limited to no visibility (of those who are not drivers) … etc…
Wow, that’s gonna leave a mark. No, scratch that, from the video, it appears that there is nothing left, just completely gone.
I read that it uses explosives to clear mines. I wonder if the whole thing just cooked off due to the ineptness of the Russian military.
Even if these are mine-clearing vehicles, how is it, I wonder, that after such an explosion, the remaining vehicles, both ahead and behind… keep moving in the same direction?
Well, the bomb/mine has already blown up, yes? Safest direction to go.
I would swear that vehicle was vaporized. There was nothing left. No debris whatsoever visible afterwards. Probably the small remaining pieces were thrown hundreds of meters from the explosion.
Is it just a coincidence that a drone was observing that particular stretch of the convoy at the time of the explosion?
The following vehicles just continued. Driving through where the mine clearing tank vanished in a huge explosion. I’m surprised there wasn’t a BIG hole in the ground. That’s what make me think maybe it just ‘cooked off’.
“If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
This video has some extra footage from before, and it looks like the column is under artillery fire.
could just be routine intel on enemy troop movements that covered a spectacular explosion.
If they were under fire from artillery, the drone was probably spotting for the battery. That vaporization might have been a direct hit on the mine-clearing vehicle.
Kherson.
Lots of chatter. If it’s all a trap, the Russians are trying really hard to make it appear as if they’re leaving Kherson.
Drones will be helpful in Scouting Kherson City.
Soldiers in civilian clothes and homes will be harder to determine.
They pulled the same trick in Crimea. A lot of muscular civilians with buzz cuts came in and claimed to be separatists.
