🧵Russia just lost $200M in supersonic bombers because they lacked an extension cord.
Crews crammed six Su-34s wingtip to wingtip around one power cart outside empty shelters. A missile hit the exact center. Pro-war Russian channels are annotating the ash. 1/🧵
Russia’s war channels spent a week celebrating the speed cap on Ukraine’s Starlink. Thursday, Trump told Musk to lift it, and the Kremlin’s loudest defector posted:

Moscow's four airports went dark after 630 Ukrainian drones struck.
The same day, Putin's army group claimed that its line is narrowing, but 100 families wrote that their regiment is being exterminated, & 8 regions cut the price of a dead soldier. 🇺🇦⬇️🎧

By Thursday, Starlink speeds magically surged across the front. Yet the absurdity remains: the backbone of European air defense was temporarily neutralized not by enemy artillery, but by terms of service and a private phone call. 6/
