Documenting the war from Ukrainian perspective with attention to the russian equipment losses
Some thoughts on the survivability of the #Moskva given the Russians reported “ammunition detonating” aboard. The SA-N-4 SAMs (aft, yellow), the main gun and the ASM mortar magazines (fwd, yellow) are probably the most survivable.
The 64 S-300s in the aft 1/3 of a Slava each have 293-lb warheads. Those cooking off amidships would be extremely bad, but may not be 100% fatal. Any of the 1000-kg warheads of the P-1000s going off would probably destroy a Slava, and they can carry 16.
Here is a 300 km range circle from Sevastopol. If this was indeed a successful Neptun attack, the metric just changed dramatically for the Black Sea.
From ~3 days ago, a nice compilation of reporting from Svatove about the possible massing of Central Military District units. Likely over 200 vehicles in 3 distinct columns moving along the pictured route
These forces have the option of being used directly against Severodonetsk or in a converging attack in the direction of Kramatorsk-Slovyansk in coordination with the Western Military District grouping at Izium.

After
Group of the Special Operations Forces blew up a bridge with russian vehicles which were heading for Izyum, Kharkiv Oblast, where the Russian troops from supply convoy of the 4th BTG have been trying to break through the Ukrainian defenses to capture the area of Slovyansk, Donetsk Obl
Today Klimovo, Bryansk Oblast 🇷🇺 came under fire - as claimed, two Ukrainian helicopters, which invaded RU airspace, launched at least six rockets, injuring 7 civilians. The fragments found on site allow us to ID that the munitions used were S-13 122mm unguided rockets.
Such rockets are usually fired from B-13L-type launchers, which can be mounted both on jets and helicopters - however this is known that the Ukrainian military previously tested a Mi-8MSB-V helicopter with these rockets. The actual target of the operation is currently unknown.
