| Ukrainian drone strikes 'struck Putin's Satan-2 nuclear missiles' |
| 2024-09-22 |
| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Ukrainian kamikaze drone strike reportedly struck Vladimir Putin's Satan-2 nuclear missile, prompting an apocalyptic explosion yesterday morning. A secret ammunition silo facility at Toropets in Tver region that housed one of the Russian President's nuke missiles was hit by Ukrainian drone, it was claimed yesterday. It allegedly happened just ten miles from an 'indestructible' 30,000 ton munitions storage site that had been obliterated on Wednesday. A huge explosion was triggered when the 'Satan-2' missile was hit, causing locals to panic over fears of a Doomsday detonation. The claim that the missile was destroyed came from a Russian Telegram channel and a news blackout intensified the rumour. It was also claimed that another site, which is reported to house North Korean missiles supplied to Putin by Kim Jong Un, was hit. Mushroom clouds and igniting shells lit up the night sky at this facility in the Russian town of Tikhoretsk in the Krasnodar region in a devastating pinpoint strike by Ukrainian kamikaze drones. An unconfirmed report suggested hundreds of Russian troops may have been based at the 23rd GRAU arsenal in the village of Oktyabrsky in Tver region. If so, their fate is unknown, but there were Russian fears of casualties at both exploded arms depots. NASA satellite imagery indicated ongoing fires at the Tver region site, and there was disruption on a main railway line and evacuation of Staraya Toropa station. 'The number of fires is increasing every minute,' reported the Crimean Wind Telegram channel. Russia claimed to have downed 101 kamikaze drones from Ukraine in overnight work by air defences. The three hits in as many days are a significant blow to the Russian war effort. Russian sources maintained their usual line that the strikes leading to sky-high fireball explosions were from debris of shot down drones, while most experts - including pro-war Moscow analysts - suspect direct hits. Russian officials rarely disclose the full extent of damage inflicted by Ukrainian attacks. Veniamin Kondratyev, governor of Krasnodar region, wrote on his official Telegram channel that Tikhoretsk was 'subjected to a terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime. The detonation site is believed to be a base of military unit 57229-41. |

| #4 Timing is everything. "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will visit the White House next week and meet with both President Biden and Vice President Harris to discuss the state of the war against Russia." Give me more, more and if you don't it will be your fault we lose this war. |

| #3 Technical support is quite obvious. Return will be necessary Russian response. The Russian people will demand it. Putin has shown restraint but he will be forced to dramatically respond. This Ukrainian effort is worthless. This was the use of armchair elites running the show. They want war everywhere. |
