That’s what you would feel? I’d be felling many emotions. Sadness, humility, pride in the sacrifice they made so others can exist.

Interesting maybe keeping quiet which would be advisable but the lack of anything showing beyond training well away from the frontlines despite the units they are attached to having moved up suggests they aren't going to be used any time soon :s

No.
Why would the tweet even make reference to it. Stop being so pedantic just so you can, as usual, criticise anything to do with Ukraine.

I would imagine the route would have been via a train from a nearby ammo depot to a North Korean port, loaded onto a 3rd party cargo vessel which then would have sailed back to eastern Russia to be loaded back onto a train and taken to Rostov On Don.
The tweet mentions the rockets were intercepted by a 'friendly country' so it will likely be South Korea, Japan, the US or maybe Australia (doubtful as it's a bit out the way).

Something I noticed; I was watching a documentary about the Nazi killing of the Jews in Ukraine and the documentary included footage of armoured battles in Ukraine and I saw something that we don't see either side do today.
Today we see both sides sending armoured vehicles in columns down pre defined roads. But in ww2 the Germans sent their armour in horizontal columns across fields.
At first I thought ok in winter you couldn't drive over fields because it's muddy but it's the middle of summer and we still haven't seen this. Is it because the fields are mined worse than the roads? There must be reason because it would be harder for artillery to target vehicles pushing over fields in wide formations than hitting the patch of road over and over

OK
Fields are deeply mined. Moving in a column behind a mine roller vehicle/an area cleared by line charges/a known clear route is typically what is seen.

In WW2, the Germans had officers and NCOs commanding their tanks that knew what they were doing (until late war losses anyway).
And they weren’t facing precision AT weapons, smart AT submunitions delivered by 155mm shells, precision regular artillery, HIMMARs and suicide drones.

It would be pretty poor operational security if they answered that question.
The Russians shelling its own positions makes little sense.
Lets be honest, how poor and rundown must Russians be to go out and steal white goods, risking life and limb to liberate a washing machine.
I know Moscow and St Petersburg are different but the rest of Russia must live in pure poverty to not have toilets or white goods.
The ones that steal them must be from those poor areas so I suppose it shows where the cannon fodder is from.
Sacrificed for the greater good, kill the enemy and it doesn't matter about a few friendlies in the area, its just cannon fodder after all.
Something important to note there is that that is not simply a comparison of the Russian soldiers killed in Bakhmut against the Russian soldiers killed in Afghanistan.
It is a comparison of the Russian soldiers killed in Bakhmut in ~12 months against the Russian, Armenian, Azerbaijan, Belarussian, Estonian, Georgian, Kazakhstani, Kyrgyzstani, Latvian, Lithuanian, Moldovan, Tajikistani, Turkmenistani, Ukrainian, Uzbekistani, Transnistrian, Abkhazian, South Ossetian and Artsakhi soldiers killed in Afghanistan over a NINE YEAR period.
Putin's disregard for even his own peoples lives simply defies belief...
