Malazan Empire: Mentalist - Viewing Profile - Malazan Empire

Ka-52 "Alligator" helicopter was intercepted by a drone. The pilots ejected, but then were also droned to death.

UAF HQ confirmed that the recent hit on aircraft repair plant in Novgorod Oblast' targeted another A-50 "flying radar" plane. There was also a major hit on the Almaz-Antey subsidiary in Sevastopol, which is responsible for repair and maintenance of the anti-air defense systems.

21 drones were attacking moscow. While intercepting them, the orcs shot down a 2-person light plane, that was supposedly participating in defense.

Syrsky stated that just under 4.5 k orc casualties were noted during their "grand attack" attempt between Tue-Thur. Apparently, they tried to use the poor weather conditions to launch multiple assaults to try to achieve some surprise breakthroughs. Things didn't really work out.

One of the prominent Z-heads confirmed that the orc resistance pocket in Kup'yans'k hospital district has been eliminated, with no survivors. This should be the last of them.

France has detained their third shadow fleet tanker.


lawyer activist Illya Remeslo, who became famous by writing criminal complaints about Navalny, recently came out with a series of TG posts accusing putler of being a war criminal (for prosecuting the war poorly), and an embezzling thief. After the muscovites picked their collective jaws off the floor (during which time he gave interviews to several emigre opposition YT channels, including Khodorkovsky.Live, which is designated a terrorist organization in Moscow) he was committed to a mental institution. Since his sister and one of this parents are psychiatrists, this could be a way to lay low, rather than soviet-style "punitive psychiatry", but not sure. The story is weird AF.

There's been serious unrest in Novosibirsk where farmers have had their livestock being put down en masse with little to no explanation over the past 2 weeks. Today the Oblast finally announced state of veterinarian emergency. this happened after the Oblast Minister of Agriculture was caught on video running away from a distraught farmer, who had her 200 heads of livestock put down while she was out running errands, with no warning. The minister took his leave off camere into the men's room. But the woman continued complaining (and today she was also arrested for staging an un-sanctioned picket).

While the orc cabinet is bracing for a windfall of oil profits, the systemic economy continues to unravel, ever so gradually. Cracking down on internet (disrupting the service sector that's been progressively digitizing over the past 2 decades) should help with that.

Just like with all the wishcasting about dead/deposed putler, don't trust things until state media confirms it.

Z-heads are actively whining that UAF managed to regain initiative in middle-strike drone warfare. Drones operating on higher frequencies are able to hunt down enemy logistics up to 50 km beyond the frontline. And specialist drone interceptors are hunting down enemy observer drones, weakening their coverage.

Still waiting for this advantage to become qualitative, where the UAF can actively push the enemy back in meaningful fashion. But if the current trends continue, and the orcs don't drastically up their recruitment efforts, we might end up with some really positive news by late summer. Lots of "ifs" with all this, ofc, and trump's middle eastern excursion isn't really helping.

residents of Moscow are whining about shutdowns of mobile internet in the city.

The rest of the country is less than sympathetic, since these rollouts have been ongoing for the past 4-6 months already.

I mean, with better timing that actually coincided, with the, y'know, multi-million anti-regime protests, there's a sliver of a possibility of achieving something. Still slim, b/c we didn't exactly see an organized backbone to the protests that would be able to position itself as an alternative decision-making centre, but before the regime started mowing people down with machine gun fire by the thousands, you could maybe, potentially see a way to amplify the internal disruptions, and channel them towards a positive regime change.

But obviously what the toddler-in-chief chose to do is the exact opposite of that. Leading to the predictable entrenchment.
