If this is all Prigozhin has I dont think Putin or Shoigu has much to worry about.

What’s an MI-28, a more souped up version of the MI-24 Hind?

What’s an MI-28, a more souped up version of the MI-24 Hind?

Correct. The MI-24 is an attack hellicopter with troop transport capabilities while the MI-28 is a pure attack hellicopter.

I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for the 24 due to how the Wolverines took one out in Red Dawn.

Is the list I use on Twitter for reputable sources.

This has been a really good resource for updates, thanks

Someone I follow on Twitter (probably Eliot Higgins or Christo Grozev) posted it when the war broke out, and it seems to be very well curated.

I had many doubts that they'd make it into Rostov.

I'm really getting the feeling this is all being done to test the loyalties in Moscow and see if secondary coups can be started. Wagner launch and attack on their own state and now what? Great you've got a building. Next move?

Camp in the building and call for Shoigu to be removed?

It's 5.30am in Rostov.

The streets are surely not that busy with pedestrians and people hanging out.

I'm not sure those pictures are recent.

According to Telegram Wagner has captured the headquarters of the southern military district and the building of the ministry of internal affairs in Rostov

That’s one of my favorite quotes from antiquity

 

[prateik]

Surely this cant end with them just displacing the military leadership, right?

Putin's authority has been challenged.. its either a full coup or Wagner gets crushed..

Either way it sounds decent to me.

When was Putin last seen?

They have taken control of one city in the southern parts of Russia, it's a very long road to Kremlin

 

[Camy89]

When was Putin last seen?

Last thing I saw online, he was holding some meeting with his government over zoom. Looked like he was in his bunker as there was a distinct lack of natural light and he sat there speaking to the TV screen.

That was about 4/5 days ago.

He delivered a televised address wishing the Russian people happy Youth Day last night.

Knowing Wagner, it might take about 20 years to get there and capture it, even if they try. But they won't be against the UA troops. So there is hope for them.

Of course.. Just wondering what Prigozhin wants here.

He is apparently unhappy with the military leadership, but surely he cant expect this to end with just a leadership change..

It's all or nothing.
