Patriot was feeling cute, might snack on an SU-35 or something

Apparently this was over the Black Sea

Who knows if it's actually an SU-35, it's so dark you can't see the plane and the camera is shaky. I also don't know how one could confirm the status of any pilots given it's so dark - will wait for ukranian mod updates

I can't remember the location of the second Patriot system but I'd be surprised if it was shot down by Patriot.
 
Russian strategic bomber network activity - though none of the reports of supposed TU-95 movements are verified, no NATO Sentry aircraft up yet but there is a tanker out of Mildenhall which often supports related activity so could be in the process of spooling up.

Not heard much myself on the positioning of the 2nd Battery. Possibly its being used to protect Odessa? It bore the brunt of a lot of missile/drone strikes back half of last year, that would put it near the coast of the Black Sea. However theres not been much in the way of reported strikes on Odessa in recent months, would also give some protection for the interior of Ukraine by intercepting Maritime launched Missiles? However I'd be more inclined to believe that they have probably concentrated them around Kyiv.
 
Russian TV suggests all civilians in Russia should help with the ammunition shortages by being forced to work in the factories for 2 hours per day

Just a translation update though: when they say all civilians what they mean is all the poor ones
Send a load of untrained people into an ammunition factory. Smart move, you can pay them in cigarettes too!

The locations are supposed to be secret but I've seen it discussed on Twitter, but I can't remember the name of the place began with a P but wasn't somewhere I'm familiar with to even know the region.

Looks like they might finally be turning up the civilian mobilisation - talk of a bill to give the FSB new powers to prevent people leaving the country, etc. along with new criteria which can be used to conscript people into the armed forces.
 
E-3B Sentry rolling out so guess Russian strategic aviation is airborne. Likely missile attacks and drones again tonight :(

EDIT: 4x Tu-95 confirmed, rest uncertain.

I don't think they'll take all civilians but I would not at all be surprised if they start doing civilian mobilization where civilians are chosen to go work in at factories. It won't be easy for the government because they can't afford to pay these people, so they would need a way to make it work without having to pay them

I was referring to industry as well as military mobilisation, seems this stuff is slowly coming out the woodwork now.

Yeah they've been doing that as well but the same problems happen, the private companies conscripted into making war supplies complain they don't get paid and they don't have much choice cause currently declining a government request to manufacture war supplies in Russia equals prison and/or government takes control of the business
