  1. Man, that’s a bitch of a sentence. Basically, you’re at the head of a corrupt portion of an organization whose job is to defend a strategic piece of infrastructure that is meant to supply a piece of land that your country has stolen. Your dumbass leader thought that the people from whom the land was stolen are too weak and stupid to do anything about it and you just sort of chilled and relaxed the entire time (resources were wasted, funds were stolen, etc.) Now the same dumbass leader has started a land invasion and you are supposed to defend this bridge (which is not easy with an infrastructure that is long) from the same tactics that your country has used against their civilians.

    Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy! May he rot in that cell!

  2. The AFU is clearing the radar coverage, that illegally built bridge is coming down, and the ruzzian’s know it.

  3. The article says Orel drones, but the only Orel drones I could find were agricultural drones with no weapons. I wonder if they meant Orlan, but those do not cost $2 million each…so maybe it was Orel branching off into military applications and not knowing what they are doing, but nothing a little kickback to the colonel wouldn’t fix.

  4. Or volunteer to go to the front. … no jail time involved…
    Hang on prisoners go to the front anyway AND they have turned the heating off in muscovia prisons to “encourage” them to volunteer… win win….

  5. Damn. Guy will come out and Russia will no longer be a thing.

  6. So they damaged the bridge and on top of that they got rid of one colonel. Win-win. It doesn’t really matter if the colonel is killed or in prison, he will not be fighting Ukraine.
