Creamy, Rybar, AMK, Kalibrated, and the other Russian mappers whose maps are used by troops on the ground to confirm what their commanders tell them have, over these past few months, watched hundreds of their own soldiers march into battle based upon a picture of the war that was, apparently, rather less accurate than advertised.
Well done, chaps. It takes a remarkable degree of confidence to be so consistently wrong, and a remarkable degree of incompetence to have that error measured in the lives of hundreds if not thousands of your own men, that reached all the way to Putin, who is well known for his forgiving nature.
We are sure they will have a fascinating explanation when the time comes.

🚩After 3.5+ months of work, I finally completed mapping occupied #Kherson and #Zaporizhzhia Oblasts.

Lt. Vasquez: Alpha Six, what's your status, over?
Marine: We're still surrounded, sir! There's just the four of us left but the tank's still ok, over.
Lt. Vasquez: Contacts to the east and more flanking to the south! Hold the perimeter!
Warpig: Bravo Six, this is Warpig! The main gun's offline, but we still have our machine gun!
Lt. Vasquez: They're moving in with the detpack! Don't let them close to the tank!
We’re in orbit! And just made European history: This is the first time a privately developed rocket reached orbit from continental Europe; and a testament to the dedication, expertise, and teamwork of everyone involved.
Former US Marine Seth William Baker from Arizona, who joined the Russian Orc Army as mercenary and became terrorist and war criminal, confirmed dead in Ukraine.
What a moron.
