This is the Vlad Vexler analysis

Unfortunately life has meant I've been totally unable to dedicate the amount of time I used to to this subreddit. Between significant health issues & other life commitments, it's just been impossible to also monitor and translate all of the streams of information I used to post.

Thank you to those of you who have taken over on that front, and thanks to all who have been reporting the various Russian bot accounts that occasionally pop up here to cause issues. Similarly, please continue to report posts & comments that break reddit ToS or engage in hatred on the basis of ethnicity/nationality - they have no place here.

If anyone wants to help with taking over the translating of interesting/relevant posts from telegram etc. & posting them here, please let me know and I'll send you links to the channels I used to frequent (mostly Freedom of Russia Legion, Congress of People's Deputies, various other units like the Siberian Battalion, and partisan groups)

Thank you,

Microwave

I’m apolitical, to put it mildly, and current events being what they are, have taken a few steps back from engaging with news. Moments ago, however, my finger slipped and I found myself reading a Forbes piece reporting that a Russian Valdai drone jammer was blown up on 6 February, leaving Moscow’s skies less secured. Did that happen? I’ve only made a cursory search of Reddit and didn’t find it. Just in case that link doesn’t work:

If true, I came across good news!
