Officer, Swedish Armed Forces. I mostly tweet about security issues. Opinions expressed often my own. Cynic. Extremism in the defence of Democracy is no vice.

The Russian maximalist claims on Ukraine persist. The only solution is to bomb Russia until it, without a hint or shadow of a doubt, has lost the war. Then we can discuss reparations for Ukraine and war crime trials of the Russian leadership. Anything less means another war at Russias choosing.

I can’t stop laughing. Ukrainians have started a new challenge: for people to log into a Russian app (via VPN) that tracks fuel availability and falsely report that gas is available at stations. Russians are wasting what little gas they have driving to these stations only to find out there’s no gas🤣

What stands out to me is not only the sheer power of the explosion, but the fact that the blast appears to originate from deep inside the building rather than outside, suggesting the drone detonated with a delayed fuse after penetrating into the middle of the FSB base.
