Caught in Bryansk which is clearly on the way to the Ukraine from Moscow.
The fellas involved do not look like Isis btw.

Within an hour of it happening social media had let me know that it was definitely:
Ukraine.
Isis.
Zionists.
False flag / Putin.
Wagner Group.
The USA.
Chechnya.
Belarus.
Navalny sympathisers.
I only need Fake / Crisis actors for the full house.

Multiple Storm Shadow / SCALP cruise missiles striking two targets in Sevastopol last night with a further cruise missile seemingly intercepted by air defences:
The main target was the former Black Sea Fleet HQ (prior to the new one which was also destroyed by such missiles in broad daylight) which was converted into a communications facility. The building is essentially destroyed and, with it, the Black Sea Fleet's main method of communicating with their submarines:
In addition, Ukraine are claiming to have also damaged or sunk two large amphibious landing ships (if true then the Black Sea Fleet has lost the vast majority of such ships they had and used to ferry around men and materials) but no evidence of that as yet.

This sort of thing is severely embarrassing for Russia's much vaunted air defences. A drone (and clearly there was at least one before) is able to fly a huge distance through Russian airspace in daylight, at slow speed and not particularly low altitude, before precisely striking a vulnerable part of an oil refinery and halting all production:
This campaign of strikes against oil refineries is unlikely to have much short-term impact (and will probably never directly translate into a shortage of fuel for vehicles) but in the medium term it will start to cause serious problems for Russia's economy. Contracts that cannot be fulfilled, buyers switching suppliers, rocketing insurance costs etc. "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else and that nobody would bomb them, they sowed the wind and will now reap the whirlwind" - Arthur 'bomber' Harris.

Satellite imagery of Sevastopol naval base seems to show that a spy ship was struck on its stern and that a landing ship moored next to it was damaged in such a way as to cause it to roll to starboard. Under normal circumstances they could probably be fixed in drydocks but Ukraine keeps striking those as well:

Another Russian SAM crew are again the toast of Ukraine after downing one of their own aircraft:

Nicely done Czeckia - that will allow Ukraine shell-parity with Russia for at least the next few months:
Meanwhile the snivelling wretch that is pathetic Moscow Mike continues his endless prevarication. In fairness I do acknowledge it is somewhat unfair to describe him as Moscow Mike (although I will continue to do so regardless) because he is only indirectly serving Putin in the course of debasing himself to the cause of some cripplingly unintelligent and endlessly manipulatable failed businessman.

No Easter respite in Ukraine (although there wouldn't be as it isn't Orthodox Easter) - circa 30 Russian armoured vehicles destroyed in two separate failed assaults:
The vehicle leading the charge in the bottom photo was a T-55 tank. When they started hauling these out of storage it was to use as poor man's artillery - now they are telling crews to get into 70 year old tanks and assault heavily defended fortified positions.

An Iranian proxy militia operating out of Iraq managed to strike an Israeli naval base in the city of Eilat last night and only just missed a warship:
Today, Israel have expressed their displeasure:
