Thank you @MagicFox

In relation to the ammo warehouse in Mariupol is there any indication of whether it was a missile strike or partisan action on the ground?

Careless smokers aside.

PMK and many thanks to the regular contributors. I said to my DH that the MN Ukraine contributors knew something was up before news broke of Biden’s visit to Kyiv. Ears on the internet and all that.

Thank you for new thread, these threads are so informative!

[Surplus2requirements]

I spend a fair amount of time on a vehicle forum, very male dominated and forces supporting.

It has a similar thread but the quality of information isn't a patch of the quality on here so thank you for all the time and research

Another thread! New York reporting in.

It's hard to say, as the secondary explosions would have leveled the building. For that reason, ammo concentrations are usually attacked with stand-off weapons, as it's hard for someone on the ground to get clear of the secondary explosions. They typically start within seconds of the primary blasts going off.

We'll have to see if there are repeats. Boeing was thought to have produced a small quantity of GLSDBs as a proof of concept before starting full-scale production, so we may be seeing some field testing.

And happy Birthday, @Mb76 !

I'm off to Florida for a few days tomorrow, so apologies in advance if I appear to be missing in action.
