Yeah, I saw that one making the rounds. Crazy! That instructor is lucky he ducked in time and didn't wind up like a slice of swiss cheese.

The instructor also wisely reached from underneath to stop the gun from spinning (even if no one's at the trigger, it's not great to have a loaded gun pointed at people). Unwisely, as he was walking away after standing up, he put his hand directly on the very hot gun barrel. Gonna need an ice pack for that one.

Extras on Stargate SG-1 used more gun safety than these people, sheesh! Also, who was the genius who set up the gun to rotate 360 degrees? There's a reason why they normally don't do that. There are big and small mistakes all over the place here.

90 vessels so far.

But the big takeaway is that all Russian-held territory that is within about 250km from the frontline is vulnerable. Ukraine can hit all of that whenever they want and as badly as they want. Russia can't stop it. The end result is that Ukraine is in control over what traffic gets where, not Russia. If they want to clear the Azov Sea of ships, they can. If they want to plunge Crimea into darkness, they can. If they want to stop all the ferries from getting to Crimea, they can. And if they want to stop fuel shipments within occupied Ukraine, they can do that too. And these capabilities are growing. In time, they'll be able to do much, much more than that.

Too funny...
I read somewhere that India is still buying the majority of its arms imports from Russia. Slow learners, I guess.

Compilation video of Russian propagandists talking about capturing Kyiv in 3 days compared to recent chaos and destruction in Russia.

That blooper reel just gets longer and longer...

In the latest naval embarrassment, 15 Russian ships were hit by Ukraine (105 within 8 days)

I need to make bingo cards for these daily tallies. Free space is the Moskva.

Ukraine struck an oil depot in southern Russia's Stavropol Krai

The Mikhailovskaya oil depot in the village of Mikhailovsk was set ablaze after the site was targeted by Ukrainian forces, Telegram news channel Exilenova Plus reported.

What air defense doing? Not much, from the looks of things. Looks like everyone with 20/20 vision fled the country already.

I gotta give them credit, they're certainly trying. Trying and trying and trying... They even shot two missiles and have nothing to show for it. I just need some of those tracer rounds to make a beat and then we'll have a proper rave.

Ukraine lands ground drone on Kinburn spit, began firing on remaining Russian positions

A sea drone dropped it there, so this operation is 100% machine. Shivs ftw.

Russia accuses Ukraine of terrorism in Sea of Azov. Brilliant I tell ya!
