I agree, and they have the whole cart to themselves, so it’s a nice opportunity to practice without disturbing anyone.
A source from VChK-OGPU shared details of the explosion that killed Zaur Gurtsiev, a veteran of the “special military operation” and first deputy mayor of Stavropol. It was established that Gurtsiev had met Nikita Penkov through a gay dating platform.
Investigators found explicit correspondence between the two, including the exchange of nude photos. Gurtsiev had invited his new acquaintance for private meetings several times, but the encounters were postponed due to his business trips — until the night of the incident.
Gurtsiev and Penkov had agreed on a meeting place in advance. As soon as they got close, an explosion occurred. Preliminary data suggests the IED was hidden in a body bag worn by Nikita Penkov. The device contained shrapnel — specifically, pellets used in pneumatic weapons.
According to early findings, Penkov had allegedly been hired by unknown individuals to collect compromising material on Gurtsiev and was provided with “special equipment” capable of transmitting video. The IED had been built into this device.
Only two helicopters were confirmed to be destroyed and I wouldn’t expect more than 5 crew each, so there was likely a third unreported loss.
The Cossacks Were Riding. Here is an English translation of the song.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked a train with fuel in the occupied territory of Zaporizhia Oblast. ASTRA learned about the consequences of the strike
The day before, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine published a video of a UAV attack on a freight train. In the video, at least one carriage catches fire after the strike. It was claimed that this happened on May 24 on the Verkhniy Tokmak - Molochansk - Fedorovka railway section. The agency reported the destruction of three fuel tanks.
According to ASTRA sources, Ukrainian drones did indeed strike a moving train heading from Volnovakha to Dzhankoy. This happened on the night of May 24 near the Fedorovka station in the Melitopol district. The train was attacked by three UAVs in total.
One UAV crashed into a diesel fuel tank, which exploded and caught fire. Another one hit a freight car, and a third hit the railroad tracks.
There were no casualties.
The one with GRIM is the drone model. I assume F-19 is made by the same manufacturer that produces F-7 & F-10 drones, commonly used by the 414th Strike UAV Brigade. Sometimes they will put a unit or donor’s name there instead.
From a different article:
The controversial image appears to have been generated using artificial intelligence and was approved by the city administration before painting began.
Ironically, according to Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR), the same stock photo from Depositphotos has been used in their own recruitment materials.
They’ve equipped Queen Hornets with AK-74s, but I’ve never seen anyone killed by them. They mainly seem to be used for psychological warfare and suppressive fire. Shotgun drones are more common, but they’re used to shoot down Russian drones.
There isn’t a direct translation, but it’s close to “fuckers”.
Drone mounted net launchers have been really effective.
These events are usually happenstance, so you use what you have in the moment.
It was posted by Russian military sources and then confirmed by Ukrainian military sources. There was a breakthrough in that area two days ago.
Ukraine still has plenty of uses for them.

Telegram. I follow several hundred official military channels, but this is my favorite unofficial channel because they timestamp, geolocate, and cite sources.
