What’s the context?

Some unscheduled out of spec combustion at the local refinery?

If Tuapse is any indication it would seem that they are changing their approach.

Instead of causing a bit of damage to every refinery within range they’re trying to completely obliterate them one at a time.

We’ll see I guess.

“what air defense doing” indeed

the number of intact tank clusters suggests there will be at least a fourth and fifth attack.

They know the war is senseless. They know Russia is not defending itself.

Most of the ones who do go to war do it for money. So they know they’re not dying for a noble cause.

I’m not debating who the aggressor is or who started the war. It’s not relevant to this situation.

It is extremely relevant to the situation.

The soldiers on one side die pointless deaths for their leader’s vanity. If you tell them they’ll die if they join it’s a deterrent, because they can stay home and be safe.

The soldiers on the other side die protecting their home and their people. If you tell them they’ll die if they join it’s not a deterrent, because they’ll die if nobody joins as well.
