[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.

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.

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.

[Regnum] A fair and sustainable settlement of the Ukrainian conflict is impossible without taking into account Russia's interests. This was stated on September 21 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
"Without Russia and taking its interests into account, it is impossible to achieve a fair and sustainable settlement. However, Kiev and the West do not think about peace. They need war," Zakharova's words are quoted on the MFA website.
She noted that Russian representatives do not intend to participate in any meetings within the framework of the so-called “Bürgenstock process,” since this has nothing to do with the settlement.
The diplomat pointed out that this is yet another manifestation of fraud by the Anglo-Saxons and their Ukrainian puppets, since the so-called second summit is pursuing the goal of pushing through the unviable “Zelensky formula” as an uncontested basis for resolving the conflict and, on behalf of the world majority, presenting Russia with an ultimatum to capitulate.
"We will not participate in such "summits". But we do not reject the political and diplomatic settlement of the crisis, we are ready to discuss truly serious proposals that take into account the situation "on the ground", - added Zakharova.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on September 20, Zelensky, during a speech at a conference with the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen in Kiev, stated his desire to end the conflict with the Russian Federation. To do this, it is necessary to strengthen Ukraine as much as possible and hold a second “peace” summit, he added.
The Russian authorities have repeatedly noted that they are ready for a peaceful resolution of the situation in Ukraine, provided that all the demands set before the start of the special military operation are met, as well as provided that the new territorial realities are recognized.
On September 20, State Duma Defense Committee member Viktor Zavarzin said that Russia would not negotiate a settlement to the conflict on the terms of the Kiev regime. The deputy recalled that Russian President Vladimir Putin had already outlined the terms.
Putin said on June 14 that Russia was ready to resume negotiations on Ukraine, but first the Ukrainian Armed Forces must withdraw from the territory of the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions. He promised to stop the fighting as soon as the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops begins and Kiev announces its refusal to join NATO.
On September 6, Putin once again confirmed Russia's readiness for dialogue if Ukraine shows a desire in deeds, not in words, but first it is necessary to dislodge the Ukrainian Armed Forces formations that have invaded the border areas of the Kursk region. He also recalled that the government in Ukraine is currently illegitimate, since Zelensky's presidential term has ended, and he canceled the elections, citing martial law.

[Regnum] The Russian-Chinese naval exercises "Beibu/Interaction - 2024" began in the Pacific Fleet (PF) in Vladivostok. This was reported on September 21 by the Pacific Fleet Information Support Department. Sounds like fun. May much that is useful be learnt by all involved.

The military events in the Sea of Japan will last a week. During this period, they will practice repelling an attack by a simulated enemy from the air, water and underwater, joint maneuvering and defense when moored in an unprotected roadstead. The ships' crews will have to perform artillery fire and a set of combat exercises, using anti-aircraft and anti-submarine weapons.
The Russian side is represented in the exercises by the anti-submarine ships Admiral Panteleyev and Admiral Tributs, the small anti-submarine ships MPK-82 and MPK-107, and the small missile ship Smerch. The People's Liberation Army Navy of China is sending the destroyers Xining and Wuxi, the frigate Lin Yi, and the comprehensive supply ship Taihu to participate in the training. No word on who will provide the salvage tows
