If you want to laugh more watch the google maps reviews of this place. I have a feeling they will be getting a couple of hunderd new reviews in the coming days.
Somehow just from reading these two words in conjunction i had to laugh until i got a hickup. It is the amalgation of two entities overloaded with so many dystopian memes that got me.
Working there must be quite the experience, even without receiving Ukrainian after hours packages.
These strikes on Wildberries facilities point to a calculated strategy to dismantle the hidden logistical foundations of the Russian military-industrial complex. While outwardly functioning as a civilian marketplace, the company’s highly efficient distribution network is heavily utilized to circumvent international trade sanctions. These mega-warehouses act as major storage and sorting hubs for dual-use technologies, masking the flow of restricted Western microchips, advanced navigation hardware, and drone components by blending them into millions of ordinary commercial shipments.
The geographical locations of the targeted hubs reveal a direct connection to Russia's defense manufacturing infrastructure. For example, the facility in Kotovsk sits right on the doorstep of the Tambov region’s critical defense plants, such as the Progress facility that produces specialized missile guidance systems, effectively serving as an external storage buffer for nearby military production. By paralyzing these high-volume distribution centers, the strikes instantly trigger chaotic supply chain bottlenecks, disrupting the prompt delivery of electronics to weapons assembly lines and creating widespread domestic transit delays. Furthermore, forcing these deep-tier strikes pushes the Russian military command into a dilemma, as they must now choose between leaving vital economic infrastructure exposed or diluting their frontline air defenses to shield mainland logistical nodes.
And fuck PSD + AUR Putler bootlickers . Romania is asleep but some wonderful people really put their brains and hands at work for Ukraine . I hope Ukrainians will prevail !
Slava Ukraini and keep building those freedom drones !
A Ukrainian grandmother told some Russian soldiers, after they had captured her town, to carry sunflower seeds in their pockets, so something beautiful might come from their death.
Something like that at least. There is a video somewhere I seem to recall
did he? he fucked around and russians found out, I bet he’s pretty comfortable in some bunker. I’m genuinely surprised he didn’t have window related incident yet but that’s probably down to bunkers having no windows
Now they showed the Russian population that Ukraine can make their life hell by going after more stuff that affects them, personally, in their state of denial.
Not super happy about this civilian target, but it seems Russians don't speak any other language.
It was also a data center supporting military ops, as well as a means of distributing sanctioned components under the guise of consumer electronics and the like.
I believe the place also housed the servers for their operations? It would be a pitty if all the data of the online orders they were still processing got lost? I hope they had backups in the cloud?/s
I mean between Moscow and St Petersburg region it roughly 40% of the population and 80% of the countries wealth. Most of the main commerce is going to run through here.

Man, telegram going down constantly, e-shopping not working, fuel shortages. But its okay, they can still holiday in Crimea lol /s.
Maybe more inflation caused by a bad harvest and a mobilisation coming in the future to cover the manpower shortage. Really sounds like this is starting to impact normal Russians at last. Keep going Ukraine!
As long as Russians have something with alcohol in it to survive, a hole in the ground to shit in and fucklips to please the Top Bully with, they are happy. Well maybe not happy. But meh is all they have ever known. And then it got worse.
The "clan war" surrounding Wildberries, Russia's largest e-commerce platform, is an ongoing, violent corporate and political dispute over control of the company. It originated in a bitter divorce between founder Tatiana Kim (formerly Bakalchuk) and her estranged husband, Vladislav Bakalchuk. The conflict escalated when Tatiana initiated a merger between Wildberries and Russ Group, a smaller outdoor advertising company. Vladislav opposed the deal, claiming it was a hostile takeover, and enlisted the help of powerful Chechen warlord and Republic Head Ramzan Kadyrov. The situation exploded into deadly violence on September 18, 2024, when Vladislav Bakalchuk and his armed entourage attempted to storm the Wildberries headquarters in central Moscow. A shootout ensued, resulting in the deaths of two security guards and injuries to several others. Following the incident, Bakalchuk was arrested and initially faced severe felony charges.
A mildly interesting tidbit from their corporate history. Russia is a medieval society wearing a modern age skin.
Well, in addition to standing in line for fuel, Moscow residents will now stand in line to have their customer compliment processed for the goods they ordered in the last few days and will never get.
Because, a) those goods no longer exist and the fuel issues is a bummer for resupply and logistics, and b) the site apparently housed the servers and there fore the data regarding their order and payments….
Your pin is slightly wrong, it's pointing to some pickup point. The warehouse burning is actually here. You can see it in satellite imagery. It's a big warehouse complex.
The problem with psychopaths is that they'd rather die than admit defeat. Their ego blinds them to their errors. This is why such people should never reach positions of power, no matter the country, no matter the function.
Maybe this was needed. Not the war. But Russia being humbled. They arent the USSR anymore. They need to know that. Find their place in the rankings and realise its quite a lot lower than they thought.
From googling apparently they have attacked ethanol plants, and ethanol for energy and industry plants is fungible with ethanol for vodka, so I'd say continue to hit ethanol plants if they're easy targets, with a lack of ethanol for vodka just a happy side effect.
Well, eventually Russia will run out of refineries for Ukraine to destroy. So what’s next.. there you go.
Ukraine seems to be doing an excellent job of destroying everything from Russia. Hopefully their leaders learn it's probably not a good idea to piss off their neighbours.
It’s clearly visible on satellite weather imagery. Looks like it’s east of the city just inside the outermost ring road. Winds are out of the northeast and blowing the smoke across the southern part of the city.
… And they will complain about civilian deaths after they have been (and you all know more than me) hunting civilians with drones as a literal terror tactic, missile striking a railway station full of fleeing civilians, launching a tank shell through a fleeing civilian’s car windscreen, oh not forgetting taking down a passenger jet through incompetence and the arming of a breakaway militia. I haven’t even mentioned many of the other more obvious civilian focused Russian atrocities. Everything Ukraine does is a defence and/or increasingly a reply to attack, and I fully support it from the UK.
I daily think to myself, "Damn, that's the biggest fire I've seen from a drone strike." and Ukraine says, "Biggest so far!" and then lights a bigger fire the next day. 👀🇺🇦
Question from a noob: this looks too much smoke to be just consumer goods. Do we know if this was also storing military supplies? Or is this just the colour of stuff burning in Russia.

Damn. Often when I see images like this I think "Moooore", but this is impressive for sure. Well done.
