Looks to me like the ladyboy in the swimsuit advert on the link has its own cruise missile tucked down there.
It's not a game changer in itself but just to wind up Putin (as it has done) is worth it. The more rattled he is the more irrational demands he will make and with the head of Wagner already kicking off (providing he doesnt drink tea or go near high rises) it could get interesting.
And stop leftie bating, its not fair on them TTT, they cant help it.
//How do you say "Use them wisely" in Ukrainian ?//

I would suggest, «Націлись на Кремль» which means 'Target the Kremlin'.
That would be a stupid thing to do, even if it sounds appealing. It wold simply result in him lobbing a dirty nuke over the border.

No, best use is to target the fuel and ammunitions dumps well behind the front line. Cut the troops off, then go after them when they are demoralised. Already they are starting to run (and yes it does appear to be true as the Wagner chief was saying it).
Question Author
Obviously they won’t target the Kremlin (I realise you are joking - they are nowhere near long enough range anyway)

Who knows what they will target: I’m reliably informed they aren’t ideal for hitting airfields or sinking ships necessarily. The latter because they likely lack the manoeuvrability to dodge counter fire.
It is a game changer in the sense that it changes how Ukraine prosecutes the war.
The Russians have cruise missiles with far longer ranges and yet it’s not helping them. That’s because of course they don’t have the ability or possibly the nous to use them properly

Prigizhin is complaining that territory they took months to acquire is being lost in days!
Music to our ears. And it does appear to be somewhat the case from what we can tell.
In the last 6 months to the day since the liberation of Kherson city the Russians have probably lost upwards of 100,000 men for the gain of mere slivers of territory. Sheer insanity.
Long range missiles need excellent intelligence (not talking about the user although it helps).

I strongly suspect that Ukraine is superior in this field so hopefully will do some serious damage with them. Of course the propaganda of having them is also worth its weight in gold for demoralising even further the Russian troops.
Question Author
That’s right.
The best use of these is probably to take out the bunkers I mentioned that are vulnerable.
The Russians do appear to be stupidly predictable in their deployments so it’s likely that many of these are known.
They could make a real mess of the Kerch bridge mind you
Quite, & I'd be a bit worried crossing the Kerch Bridge from now on & there's zero chance of cowardy-custard-Putin going anywhere near his pride & joy bridge too.
Question Author
If you want my opinion they won’t take the bridge out: better to keep the Russians fretting about the possibility - but there is the danger of hitting civilians. As well as the thought that it is a handy escape route for Russian colonists, many of whom have already fled. Destroying the bridge properly would leave the peninsula cut off in the event Ukraine advances from the north and I’d have thought a siege situation was inadvisable.
But maybe I’m wrong about that
Even more bad news for Mad Vlad;

'The Snake malicious software (malware) network, used by Russia’s FSB spy agency, was knocked offline by the West’s Five Eyes espionage alliance on Tuesday in a multinational swoop codenamed Operation Medusa.

Their takedown has disabled a vital Kremlin tool for interfering in Western elections, disrupting businesses and gathering intelligence on Moscow’s enemies – ending a two-decade-long cyber spying campaign that indiscriminately targeted businesses and Western governments alike.'

It's a slow humiliation all round.
The question is, can Putin survive it?

The general feeling is that a major push by the AFU (Armed forces of Ukraine) is not far off. The BBC report https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/News/Question1836808.html
reflects the fact that most of the information coming out now is only from Russian sources, due to a news blackout from the other side. So it's doom and gloom from the folks on the ground, denied by official sources. As ever, the truth is probably somewhere is between.
As far as Bakhmut is concerned, Ukrainians apparently attack on the flanks, and defend continued assaults in between. Supposedly Wanger elements have been fleeing. Not sure.
It does seem that there has been a sporadic chipping away at parts of the front line by the AFU, with some advances, no doubt to instil panic and confusion on the Russian side. Along with the referred-to attacks on weapons stores and troop concentrations, which continue.
'........The Institute for the Study of War also said Ukrainian forces had probably made gains of 2km in Bakhmut.'

According to Encyclopedia Britannica (which I've just looked up) the city is approx 8 Km wide so 2 Km is quite a significant gain
Question Author
Russian MOD confirms a pretty major retreat of Russian main (not Wanger) forces to the village of Betkhivka, NE if Bakhmut. Previous AFU advances ha e been to the SW.
No fewer that 19 Russian troop concentrations appear to have been hit overnight. That feels like a lot.
Question Author
NW of Bakhmut
There's even room for a bit of trench humour out there:

Prigozhin said " The situation on the flanks is shaping up according to the worst predicted scenario."

He also jokingly requested Sergei Shoigu, the defence minister of the Kremlin, to come to Bakhmut, mocking Shoigu's civilian background in engineering.

He asked Shoigu: "Given your super long experience, please can you come to Bakhmut?" :0)
Can you imagine if Liz Truss was still PM.
We wouldn’t be able to afford to send peashooters to Ukraine.
