Idk. DNR/LNR wore red. But OP stated it was a Rus SpecNaz. I saw Wagner badge on one of the soldiers, so I added - Wagner

[QUOTE=WonderMomma;7758123]I put my wager on 100k being hit on 23 December (1 week)... average of 380 per day. I definitely think it's going to be before Christmas Day.

22nd for me.

It's also worth mentioning that there hasn't been any planes or helo's shot down for a week now, could be weather related, no vis or the like but just thought that I would put it out there.

Interesting.
Raytheon & others certainly have a fantastic opportunity to test all of the new gen arms & hardware to better equip us with weaponry to kill each other more "Efficiently" !

Yes, geolocation is definitely something that I've seen used prolifically in this war... by military forces, OSINT community, and journalist/bloggers. Ukraine Ministry of Defense has strict guidelines (and some laws) about "Operational Security" (aka OPSEC) during this war.

It's something I've become quite familiar with since streaming live cams from Ukraine. At first it wasn't really a problem... but in March of this year, they really started cracking down on it and several live cameras were shut down throughout country by the authorities. A couple civilians who ran cameras that I came to know filled me in on how seriously they were enforcing it.

Then you started hearing about whole groups of soldiers getting wiped out (mostly Russian) who were being careless about selfies and video's they were posting that allowed the other side to narrow down their locations. Ukrainian authorities were often using this as an example of why these guidelines are so important.

One great example here: https://www.thedailybeast.com/ukrain...r-hq-in-donbas

There were a couple of incidents where foreign press members were briefed of the opsec guidelines by authorities... but disregarded it. One case where a Dutch journalist immediately went with a film crew to the location of a shelling in Odesa... showing first responders, civilians and the location of what was hit within the first few minutes it happened and posted it on social media. A couple of hours later his hotel room was raided by authorities, his passport stamped ineligible to return to Ukraine for 10 years and he was driven to the border of Moldovia.

Another journalist (can't remember the publication she worked for) posted a photo of the same shelling (with skyline view) from her hotel window. She was immediately berated on Twitter for posting it, eventually deleted the photo but was also shown the door.

Below are the guidelines (translated) directly from the MoD posted in early March around the time the cameras starting shutting down.

I realize after writing all this, it's probably way more info than you or anyone could want to know. Apologies.
