Iskander training
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

[ColonelCassad] The enemy actually confirms losses during yesterday's attack on the training center in Shostka, where about 70 Ukrainian Armed Forces trainees and an instructor were killed by an Iskander OTRK strike. The Iskander strike was supported by a drone that was hovering over the training ground and providing targeting. For some reason, the enemy ignored the obvious threat.



As a result, the hysteria and search for the guilty party has been going on for the second day already.

Of course, the resignation of the butcher Syrsky is once again being demanded.

The moral of the story is simple - there is no need to gather personnel in a crowded form at training grounds and for awards within the effective range of high-precision weapons.
