• Ukrainian forces took out more than 100 Russian soldiers with an ATACMS missile, per OSINT analysts.
  • Four ATACMS were used to target the group, one analyst said.
  • The soldiers would have been out of reach of Ukraine’s shorter-range ATACMS missiles.

A Ukrainian ATACMS long-range missile strike killed more than 100 Russian soldiers in an occupied region 50 miles from the front line, according to OSINT and military analysts.

Ukrainian forces targeted a Russian military training area some 50 miles behind the front line in the occupied Luhansk Oblast in eastern Ukraine, per an assessment by The Institute for the Study of War.

According to two aerial geolocated videos posted on Wednesday by X user Osinttechnical, an account affiliated with the Centre for Naval Analyses, Ukraine appeared to strike the training area with three US-supplied M39 ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles.

    So…send Zelensky to the gulag and instate a Lukashenko type puppet, give half of the territory to Russia (and the rest later when they feel like it), stay out of NATO and help Russia invade Moldova next. Great plan my guy

      I don’t think the post is necessarily a criticism of killing 100 people, sad as it is. Hopefully this sets the Russians thinking about what’s being done to them by their leadership.

      Don’t forget… push all fighting age Ukranian men into service after bombarding them with propaganda “how the west never cared and abandoned them” and “how the evil west is actually at fault for razing their cities, killing their brothers and raping their women”.

      The NeoSoviet war machine will then be able to push even harder with a large contingent (>1million) of soldiers that are not True Russians and thus fully expendable.
