Russian missile and X5 - Guess who won?

This photo was taken in Ukraine, where remnant of a Russian missile still lodged in its side.

Have you see how many dud missiles have been landing in Ukraine though? Shit, their soldiers are carrying rations that expired in 2002. Their vehicles are using cheap AF Chinese knock-offs of Michelin tires that are bursting at the seams. Some are punching holes in their own gas tanks so they can't continue. Morale is reportedly super low.

This is all good news in my book, but man.

The thing I truly worry about is Putin getting backed into a corner (which he is) and has no way of "winning" so he simply doesn't give a shit. That's when we need to worry whether he's going to push that red button.

I suspect the explosives were separated, sold and put toward the yachts, apartment or other luxury items.

Apparently they're missile-proof as well.

False. It is being hosted on a server that's being HAMMERED for downloads, and has put up load restrictions to keep the data moving as best as possible.

As a public service, I just uploaded a copy to the BP attachments library for posterity:
