#Russian Military Coup [DO NOT POST MEMES - DO POST SOURCES]
1 messages · Page 2 of 1
I'm parsing many Russian TG channels and chats - literally nothing on PMC Wagner columns or even a bit similar to it
straight line to moscow
No photos, no videos
Do we have identifying marks that indicate Wagner rather than MOD vehicles?
IDK, some troops with APCs, dated armor and even more dated CAS birds... Russian military might be incompetent, but i would still not bet money on that.
There is some traffic congestion near the LPR/Russian border along the M-50, that might be it
Didn't they close it?
https://twitter.com/Maks_NAFO_FELLA/status/1672393293794009093 confirmation of the traffic
Meanwhile, in Russia, there is a long traffic jam at the Volgodonsk interchange near Rostov-on-Don, - RosSMI
That's weird for 3 AM in the middle of nowhere
frankly we're saying theres no video but what are you expecting?
they dont just write "WAGNER PMC" in big letters on the wagner apcs do they?
there have been lots of road closures, so there's no guarantee it's a convoy
im more saying how can you tell a wagner vehicle from an MOD one
by the way, does Wagner have significant logistic capabilities? I know they rely on MoD's equipment for transport and logistic, which is why I'm quite doubtful they now have the capability to move "columns" of troops.
this is what we look for, but no they would probably not be bearing flags and logos while mounting an insurrection
That's true. But with the road closures currently being mostly up and down the M4, that seems weird if the wagner forces are still in Ukraine/LPR
Why close the M4 if they're still in LPR?
honestly I wouldn't be surprised if wagner is split up in a bunch of civvie cars, given they are mercs and not soldiers
if you want to read more about wagner #1054884622955184228
They also swappped logos
Yeah, if this column exists, it might just be fancy talk for bunch of civilian technicals with tacticool dudes in them.
that is what I am thinking
we don't know why the highway is closed
News!
not at all to be honest. it's a major highway and I don't know about Russia, but in my country in western europe lorries are allowed to travel mostly by night, so a small road closure can lead to a big traffic jam even in the middle of the night. I've witnessed hours long queues driving in the middle of the night because of that.
probably safe to assume that at the time of the closure, whoever gave the order had as little confirmed info as we do
or it's a traffic accident
Roads don't close for traffic accidents
Everyone's asleep right now, but 4 AM is the ideal time for an invasion
Or Prig's Toyota popped a tire.
they do, I've seen it plenty
If there is a convoy headed towards M4 / rostov from Ukraine, I'd expect the first videos to come from Novoshakhtinsk (if that helps those searching online)
wagner definitely has some pantsirs, definitely has at least 1 su-24
they may own an IL-76, but I don't see them mounting a paradrop on moscow, but that would be tacticool as hell
The E50 passes through a decent sized urban area (100k people) through downtown
damn you gotta try Italian highways lmao
That's a 3 lane road, where I'm from they just block a lane when there's a problem. Usually they try to keep the problem to a single lane within 30m to 1h
Even at 4 AM, that's big enough that you might get some video from there
3 lanes on both directions mind you
Nothing new.
Google shows a deep red line here (I believe it's 47.12735697913426, 39.87464637174498)
And then every now and then a truck of steel i-beams crashs and scatters them across 6 lanes and are hit by other cars.
And it is closed in both directions
And if those russian dashcam videos taught me something, it happens every other day over there...
A super long traffic jam on a normally empty road in the middle of the night in Russia is super sus in my wast experience living in Russia. WOuld be a really weird coinsidence
@gloomy grove are you still watching cams?
it would be, but I find no pictures of columns coming out just as suspicious
well, my dog is officially begging me to go to sleep so I guess it's time, good night everyone!
i hear rostov cams just went down
not really, the action will not be in Moscow besides barricades
That's a shit ton of Vic's
We can also see on this footage that it's a police car blocking the road in the other direction
https://twitter.com/Gerashchenko_en/status/1672369744538656770 needs geolocation
Combat aviation in the sky above Rostov, local media report.

https://t.me/Ateobreaking/91372 that's what Ateo Breaking just said
Or port containers. But probably vics
can you post the source, please?
u/ObscuredTor on twitter
he is browsing the feed there ^
Sure, but you don't need a real column to set up a preliminary roadblock. They may have used just a few road police cars to set it up and really bog down the road.
The Wagner column does not need to be real too for the Internal Affairs to respond to the threat as if it was real
But like, what do you do with single Su-24? Do you maintain support crews and stock of spare parts for your mighty airforce of one Su-24? Do you perform minimumscramble time drills for your 4 pilots that can fly it? 😄
Translation?
sure, but moving forward without multiple data points to confirm is how you spread Fake News 😦
Wait the Russian air force does those things?
Agreed, needs visual confirmation
Yeah, fair point probably 😄
Ateo Breaking is saying Yandex is now blocking search terms related to Prigozhin
nah I don't expect them to scramble a frogfoot and blast a roadblock or anything, but if they convince other russians to work with/for them, ... maybe? they can get them to stand down?
hypothesising on the internet is common, we try to be a little different here
Prigozhin's story got more elaborate: missiles, helicopters and then artillery: ```❗️ "Today we were hit by a missile attack, after that the helicopters worked out, after that - the artillery. The command came from the Chief of the General Staff to destroy the Wagner PMC after a meeting with the Minister of Defense.
ㅤ
We crossed the state borders, the border guards came out to meet and hugged our fighters.
Now we go to Rostov. The conscripts, who were thrown to block our road, stepped aside. We don't fight children. Children are killed by Shoigu, throwing untrained soldiers into the war. We fight only with professionals.
If anyone gets in the way, we will destroy everything that gets in the way. We extend our hand to everyone, no need to spit in this hand. We go on and go to the end.
As for statements about arrests, this is brotherhood, this is justice, this is honor, this is conscience - that's what we have. When you make these statements, you don't have those feelings. You can understand nothing but betrayal."```
that checks out from his initial description tbh
alrighty
Is this an alert of some sort, or a news broadcast
Ow, missed that then.
i think its the same one of 3 minutes
has his statement changed again?
they repeated it
"Residents of Novoshakhtinsk said they noticed military equipment on the streets of the city. Photos and videos posted on social media show the movement of several armored personnel carriers. Why they are in the city and where they are going is still unknown."
spanish word for atheist?
Translation: "The statements that are distributed under the name of Eugeni Prigozhin have no basis to them. In relation to these statements FSB of Russia has opened a criminal case due to the fact of inciting an armed rebellion. We demand to stop criminal activity immediately." National Antiterror Comittee
anyone see any wagner symbols in that mix?
Any geolocation yet?
the red line on the trucks is wagner-esque
I think those are OMON trucks; I vaguely remember the red stripe from the last time I was in Russia years ago
That's correct but it must mean something else in Russian 😅
could be yeah, police
And OMON was activated as TASS itself reported
Rosgvardiya most likely, they have a red stripe on everything https://cdnn21.img.ria.ru/images/156006/39/1560063902_0:0:2730:2048_1920x0_80_0_0_bdc9600dd8fc71693473783ce4e1e6e3.jpg
OMON also have blue stripes
And this is RosGvardiya
got any images of the trucks from the back?
repurposed national guard vehicles? they have Zs on them in the video
they should have some tags on the trucks that are uniform on the back
ye saw the one Z
Yeah, OMON is part of RosGuardiya
3 Zs, but yeah
But tbh that can be just russians russing
without visual confirmation i dont believe it
they said that hours ago
hell that post itself is 3 hours old
yeah it is 3hrs old - that is in the pic
that might be an interesting data point since government marks roadblocks on the highways. there didn't seem to be any signs in the video confirming the street name or number
if there's no video or photos in 3 hours either wagner has the greatest OPSEC in the world or its not real
If this is all some Ukrainian psyop, I will be tipping my hat for weeks.
by the way this is an excellent time to plug Geogramint
Made by a frenchman (!)
“The night of June 23-24. Fryazino. A military base is burning,” the voice in this video says. That’s just outside Moscow. Partisan action!?
106
is traffic data for rostov still coming thru?
Allows you to see "around me" users in telegram. Frontline soldiers usually have their opsec tight but not necessarily national guardsmen
this would go in #tools-and-sites
thanks, will put it if it's not already
you can look on google maps with the traffic filter
Sadly there's little we can say about this. No geolocation or chronolocation to verify it
I'd love to see what social media footage this news agency is referencing
IN ROSTOV STREET CAMS OFF: Anton Gerashchenko (@Gerashchenko_en)
Street webcams stopped working in Rostov-on-Don.
The website of online broadcasts says "access to broadcast temporarily denied."
Based on the position, that's far more likely to be the wagner convoy than anything else I've heard of so far
FYI netblocks reporting massive internet blackouts nation wide
Wonder how many Russians use this
If so, it would be a great time to delete the hell out of it
It could also be that wagner is not operating in a convoy, is using civilian vehicles, and has spread out. the roads between rostov and Ukraine probably see quite a lot of military vehicles, because highway to warzone, it may be people have gotten tired of posting them, especially in small groups mixed with civilian vehicles/technicals in the middle of the night

THRU TO #SEVASTOPOL NEWS: Prigozhin earlier this week anticipated Crimea falling to Ukraine. Here’s the Russian satrap in Sevastopol in a panic this evening. https://twitter.com/michaeldweiss/status/1672397914079895556
legend
In yet another voice memo, Prigozhin says Shoigu and Gerasimov have "destroyed about 100,000 Russian soldiers" during the invasion of Ukraine – an apparent admission Russia's casualty figures are vastly higher than the MOD admits. https://t.co/LxB1Ma6Qas
Google news is reported to have been down over in Russia.
#Russia #Ukraine #war 🔥
Roads blocked in #Rostov, Russia.The road was blocked due to excessive movement of the military.
Blocked roads.
its not just google news, most western sites are going
This is the Turkish coup all over again
Ahh right.
The first video appeared with an alleged column of Wagner PMCs at the entrance to Rostov.
#wagner #russia
this might mean that Wagner has some BMPs and other (light) armor in motion
god this angle fucking sucks, the dirt in the window makes it hard to pick up any identifying marks
I suspect that's russian southern military district
yeah the link above showed it
The russian southern military district HQ is 400 meters from there
Yep, it's going to be a really hard one to verify
i think the best we can do is geolocate it to the roads around rostov for a start before even trying to identify whether its actually wagner
Prigozhin's audio message at 01:22 BST:
"The Head of General Staff is not calming down: a mistake of any African dictator is to deal air strikes at civilian areas. Right now in the air are two planes numbered 523 and 546 that are trying now to deal these strikes.
Remember,…
Following a suspected strike on a bridge at Chongar, between Russian-occupied Kherson Oblast and Ukraine’s Russian-occupied Crimea, NV talked to an expert to mull over the implications of the attack.
A resident of Moscow reported that the entrance to the Kremlin and Red Square was blocked. Raised automatic retractable bollards blocking traffic.
#Russia #moscow
The Head of General Staff is not calming down: a mistake of any African dictator is to deal air strikes at civilian areas. Right now in the air are two planes numbered 523 and 546 that are trying now to deal these strikes.
can we find those planes?
I doubt it, their transponders likely aren't on
on the ground is fine, historical
Ukraine is being striken right now, could be referring to that
would make sense yeah
how could they get to the M4 without any pedestrians or something filming them in rostov?
What are these?
simply an issue of skill
i dont think it matches, video appears to have street lights to the side of the road not in the central reservation
traffic dividers
so they can adjust the toll booths depending on the flow of traffic one way or the other
Coming from Ukraine along the E50, I don't think they're in Rostov yet
Damn, I had closed already the multicam 
Wonder if they are normal or not
yeah, I need a new link
This could be Rosgvardia, but would indicate a massive deployment.
this is when i wish i still had my planet.com account 😦
could just task a satellite to go take a picture of the road
It's pinned
wdym new
Didn't see them in the stream about an hour ago
couldve been lighting
I don't recall them either
Maybe
they really are just traffic dividers though, i wouldnt divert much thought to it
And thoseglasses seem reflective, we would have seen them from the cars passing
But still, agreed that maybe they're not worth much of a thought
Probably
Interestingly, this resource - which broadcasts feeds from multiple webcams in Rostov-on-Don - has suspended broadcasts (I tried to click on several - all say same thing: "broadcast is temporarily limited." https://t.co/gZNLysoekN
not actually the real map
Coups will do that to your internet service
Is tonight the night I’ll see a big mushroom cloud in the distance ??
Or w/e this is
Let's uhhhhh hope not
I'm usually pretty skeptical, but this looks like a wagner Chekan to me
I'm fine, if there's a nuclear strike I'll be killed quickly
check the website, that's a meme
got a comparison pic?
Seems like a skill issue
this might be memes sir
imagine the reference without the front attachment

Is this one real..... lol
yes that one's real
Aye
Yep, there are strikes in Ukraine ongoing unfortunately, but please keep it in the Ukraine channel and leave here only what is directly relevant to this event
Sevastopol governor Mikhail Razvozhayev says he can’t sleep as he checks the news.
“A conflict at this level is extremely bad. None of us has enough information to draw conclusions. We all need to believe in our country & our president” https://t.co/Bs8nafI9wr
yeah it is 100%, that fits the silhouette, 3D space, height, length, mount, everything
So we have confirmation that the Wagnerites have entered Russia?
I'm getting blueballed here
Imma be honest I just joined this server after hearing about this shit a few mins ago, who is the Wagner group
you came to the wrong discord for hype
Everyone is at this point
JUST TEESTING, WILL REM
I'm going to invite you to start in #welcome and #rules
I am 99% sure this is "real" enough and that we'll see some sort of combat after action report within several hours
To little time has passed, and too many high profile events happening all within minutes of eachother
A Column of Russian National Guard Trucks reportedly spotted on the Highway just to the North of the City of Rostov-on-Don in Southwestern Russia; the Leader of the Wagner PMC Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed that his Forces had Crossed the Border into the Rostov Region earlier…
There's a column building up north of Rostov
Girkin rant
I’m the fastest reader in the world just read it all
All the Russian Guards and FSB from the neighboring regions were driven to Rostov, as the Russian voenkors write, there have already been clashes between the FSB and Wagner in the region.
this video is 6 years old
TLDR;
Wagner doesn't have the logistics
Huh, that's interesting.
The video with white Z marks on trucks is 6 years old?
was the Z in use 6 years ago?
The streetlights in the center median of the M4 are different near the E50 interchange and the section south towards Rostov along the M4.
If someone with really good eyes can tell the difference in that video of the possible wagner convoy it might say where on the M4 they are
again i dont think the bus video shows central reservation streetlights
E50 onto the M4 shows congestion according to google
🇷🇺#AHORA - Reportan una columna del grupo Wagner entrando a la ciudad de #Rostov
218
can you tell me at what time in the video you see the Z? I watched a few times and didn't notice
https://t.me/concordgroup_official/1294 new audio message
footage looks curved to me
Found one in 0.04 seconds.
Tldr russian private military that has been providing significant amounts of man power for the Ukraine invasion
audio file by chance? dont have telegram app here
video taken out of twitter embed for ease of use
Highly doubt it's "6 years old"
I see it now, thanks. how'd I miss that 
VCHK-OGPU - from their source: "The attempts to act against #Prigozhin come solely from FSB and Russian Guards. The Ministry of Defense has withdrawn itself, lower-rank officers either simply refuse to follow orders, or openly support Wagner.
As for Shoigu and co. - they simply hid and entirely lost their touch with reality. Apparently, the scare is serious." https://twitter.com/Gerashchenko_en/status/1672403954775257090
Kinda wish I can examine the twitter's videos' EXIF data.
don't they strip it?
They do I believe.
Also to me, which might put that video at the E50/M4 junction. Assuming it's on the M4 and not some other highway in Russia.
our new friend has been given more time to read the rules and may return tomorrow
‼️ A military helicopter has just opened fire on a Wagner convoy and was shot down by Wagner PMC crews, - Prigozhin. ..
https://t.me/Donbas_Operativniy/45227
Yikes.
Curved is North right?
Yeah, curved is north (E50/M4), V is south (further down the M4 towards Rostov)
translation:
A helicopter that opened fire on a civillian convoy was shot down by Wagner PMC forces
I'd swear I see another Z on the truck right before the first one, but maybe I'm just imagining things 😄
someone said there were 3 Zs earlier
you are not! I needed to rub my eyes or something
but 1 is enough IMO
'twas me
Traffic into Rostov-on-Don has now been blocked. The city has been closed as part of Kremlin's operation "Fortress" to repel Wagner PMC's coup attempt. Street camera footage no longer publicly accessible.
yes I just need 1
You definitely need a break asap 😅
i've seen this video but that entire account appears to just be making stuff up, that or the situation is far more critical than we realise
ok, everyone stop posting so I can take a break
restroom break time
Sushko? Making things up? Surely not
Cheers, Ima be more cautious on the account.
This may be true, but I have to instantly warn against posting from Sushko, he has a long history of making things up
I'll tell wagner to wait for you to get back @gloomy grove
earlier from the same account casually claiming the entire southern military region has given up: https://twitter.com/igorsushko/status/1672394042158780416
tell them to give eliot his money back too
Yep, he just lost my trust lol
Anyways.
I'm trying to find that alleged down helicopter and see if there's any image or footage of it.
Now im just wondering about the position of the video where the streetlamps are on the outside of the highway with the rosgvardya Z trucks
does anyone know what the original source is for that column video?
@frigid flame any highway sections spring to mind?
There are streetlamps on the outside of the highway at other points on the M4 between E50 and Rostov
The ONOM column?
no the alleged wagner one
the one with the truck pov or the vehicle driving past the convoy?
Found the link to the tweet I shared in Project Owl, so no clue of anything beyond that
yeah it's like from inside a bus
https://twitter.com/clashreport/status/1672398200639029250
The first video with an alleged column of Wagner PMCs at the entrance to Rostov.

170
Need to clarify with everyone. Whenever someone mentions Rostov, that's referring to 'Rostov-on-Don' or Rostov by the Yaroslavl Oblast?
Rostov on Don
Cheers.
i think that was the first time I saw it in this Discord
Rostov-on-Don is the 10th largest city in Russia and the HQ of the Southern Military District; hadn't heard of the other Rostov until today
‼️ The first video that reportedly shows the battle between PMC Wagner and units of the Ministry of Defense.
can someone confirm to me this is prigoz' main telegram?
https://t.me/Prigozhin_hat (or rather, his main PR)
There are more similar street lamps/ central reservation sections along the E58
47.2636707649275, 39.60277354537625
@[email protected]/110596430009819523 Wagner just shot down a Russian helicopter, which opened fire on the column - beautiful. will there be a video?)
#Ukraine️ #Russia #Putin #EU #NATO #Zelensky #war #news #Moscow #USA #UK #Germany #Poland #France #Turkey #Wagner #Prigozhin
doubt they would come along the E58
is there much of a wagner presence in mariupol area?
That's rather annoying.
shit actually looks real
I don't understand the point of uploading a photo of a helicopter with an X over it if there's no actual footage of the helicopter being destroyed
clout
Would be good to try and geolocate this
this definitely looks ... 
attempting to gelocate now
let me get the raw video up here
@lrozen Trying to hype up the movement to gain support. A complete lack of evidence of the convoy existing doesn’t really help his case though.
at the very least, that video (https://t.me/Donbas_Operativniy/45230) looks like it has some legit explosions behind smoke on a frickin highway which is damn hard to fake on short notice
The street lights in the video look pretty close together--makes me think they're the ones in the first photo?
You can certainly hear the helicopters in the background that Prigozhin is constantly complaining about
Yeah, I think so as well; I think it's the last half-mile of the M4 south of the E50 interchange around 47.70391567968488, 40.09423563198517
anyone else excited rn? xD
I have 1812 Overture blasting rn
I does post all fresh updates from Prigozhin. There’s another one too https://t.me/concordgroup_official
For me, it's Генералам Гражданской Войны
need geolocation (claim is helicopter attacking wagner forces)
@frigid flame couldnt just be the screenshot is of the end of the collumn of lights??
unfortunately most of the video is shite for location
type/style to look for in the ruble while we wait for more footage.. BTW, Twitter is down for alot of peeps and trying to get info/intel from my mstdn, where I co-follow many but it ain't easy
my bad this was clearly completely wrong, I should have checked twice
If those videos are real we should be seeing more coming in
clearly Rostov residents are deep sleepers
think this was already posted from another channel / source
more footage?
it is the same as just posted above
oops
Project Owl has released a map much like the one they have for Ukraine: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1_cf4gQsRVqYfcT4rSSzHuF8ziui3JsM&ll=47.095023759311744%2C39.8842552341659&z=11

oh sry
So far we have two videos of actual combat
didnt know its been posted
Hard to keep up right now. There's a lot of excitement over the events.
As a reminder, remember that Rostov Oblast (similar to a state in the US) and Rostov-on-don (city, capital of rostov oblast) could both be used interchangeably here as 'Rostov'
Rostov Oblast is the size of Maryland and includes rural / small town areas as well
So it's possible locals claiming videos are from Rostov may be from anywhere between the LPR / DPR border and the city of Rostov itself, because they could be referring to the Oblast
Most likely all the information are referring to Rostov-on-don.
In much the same way that NY could refer to NY state or city
Disagree in the case of the fighting, most of the highway geolocating we're doing is within Rostov Oblast but outside Rostov-on-Don
This is different from Rostov in the Moscow area, which is... not being referred to at all for those confused there. 🙂
how the hell do you geolocate that
Practice and lots of patience
Yep.
this is old but; (+1hr)
https://twitter.com/ChrisO_wiki/status/1672381708476243968
You usally get used to it by locating specific signs or noticeable objects that are unique to an area.
I'm still figuring it out lol
Funny enough, according to the coordinates, IKEA is nearby.
thats kinda funny
Wagner logistics hub???? 👀
hope the ikea people are ok
Deleted?
https://giphy.com/gifs/BM5piDpZ9neV2 the swedes in that IKEA rn
Wagner has been secretly been supplied by Swedish intelligence service with meatballs 🤤
yes
Fuck. I was gonna archive it.
he reposted it with a slightly different point
Ahh alright.
there it is
Translation says "New Z Ukraine"
@slate nimbus
Sun rising, must be very recent
could you link to the source, please, so we can backtrack later if we need to
tweet just got deleted
It's 04:08 AM in Russia apparently.
still accessibvle for me
refresh
it came from a sketchy imageboard sorry, i will try to find a better source
still there
https://t.me/Donbas_Operativniy/45233 second bit of combat footage
yeah tweet is still there
oh lol
In that part of Russia? Yes, but also consider that most of Russia is quite North. Sun was clearly up in St Petersburg almost an hour ago
https://twitter.com/liveuamap/status/1672409177753374720 is this the actual liveuamap account?
Russian Telegram channels say Ministry of Defense losing control over units https://t.co/LRe4PsUbLf
117
you can put that for now!
Yes, but Liveuamap is a mid source I'd say
They sometimes repost questionable stuff
Yeah, north most likely given how military equipment is being moved down south towards Moscow and Rostov-on-Don.
https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/1672411227455205376 this would be the location mentioned
Possible location from @DefMon3, Russian and Wagner forces fighting on the outskirts of Rostov.
if possible could you please download the source and reupload (no telegram app)
That's a 12h drive at least tho
True.
Failed to scan your link! This may be due to an incorrect link, private/suspended account, deleted tweet, or Twitter itself might be having issues (Check here: https://api.twitterstat.us/)
Deleted for me.
both vids already posted in this channel, I thought it was new
Yep, tweet deleted
The commercial airport is the one right next to that geolocation; the airport on the other side of the north of the city is an airbase
That looks correct, very impressive
i guess the guy wasnt patient/experienced enough 🤣
here's the location on a map
you can see an airport in that clip?
Not in the clip, but it's less than a mile down the road if the geolocation is accurate
the reported video of the clash between wagnerites and russian forces is an old video, some report
https://twitter.com/AricToler/status/1672411440387440641
Local Telegram channels now saying that this is an old recycled video.
https://t.co/ofGTKKV3Ih
Could support the alleged shootdown of a Russian helicopter.
is there a significance with this airport?
Could maybe triangulate based on the nearby airbases.
Earlier versions of those videos: https://t.me/tucha888/14447 https://t.me/russianpatriot233/7016
That would explain why Def Mon deleted the tweet
Na, just the old decommissioned international airport; it's been replaced by a newer one further away. No idea if it's been repurposed due to the Ukraine war, but it's not the large airbase in Rostov (which is what i was checking)
Has there been an incursion into Rostov before that could lead to footage like this?
Okay, thought it was an T72 but turns out to be a BMP.
Visegrad24 isn't helping!
Barely even a news source
however defmon geolocated the place outside rostov
Nvm, Def Mon reposted again: https://twitter.com/DefMon3/status/1672410659047325702
The oblast has been hit a couple times by Ukrainian (missile/drone) strikes, not sure if the city itself has
https://t.me/russianpatriot233/7017 helicopters over Rostov
Yep, tbh Aric is just saying what telegram says
When have they ever? 
yeah, he also jsut added
It just occured to me that while everyone is scrambling to repel Wagner from the Rostov direction based solely on Prigozhin's words, he may have used all this hype as a ruse (which would explain the astonishing lack of, you know, verifiable Wagner forces moving in the area he said they were moving in).
Whether such a ruse could be used for an infiltration from other directions or to buy time to evacuate or disperse is impossible to say, but maybe, just maybe, we would be wise to check some other vectors of approach to the final goal
mabye just showing people what the origin vid was
and if somebody can find something on internet, thats aric
Also, it's 4:12 AM in Rostov at the moment. Sunrise is at 4:26 AM. This is a uniquely helpful time because sky brightness will be changing a bunch over then next ~1 hour
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagner_Group_mutiny new wikipedia article just dropped
On 23 June 2023, Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin alleged that soldiers of the Russian Ministry of Defense were shelling his positions. Prigozhin promised to take revenge on the leadership of the Ministry of Defense. Prigozhin said the "evil" in the military leadership must be stopped and vowed to "March for Justice". He also dismissed just...
You see. Now this is notable thinking!
Oh, this came out a few hours ago lol
idk man
Still nice article.
all it takes is one civi with a phone and your secret entrance is busted
Not even a civi, all it takes is one checkpoint that doesn't stop you but does radio it in
^
Huh, according to the wikipedia, the FSB allowed in Wagner without resistance.
@tepid eagle Rob Lee also thinks it's a Chekan MRAP, he's not aware of any Russian forces that use them beyond Wagner: https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1672409506901368833
Russian channels are sharing a video allegedly showing a Wagner column in Rostov. Can’t tell the location from the footage (or the original source), but the lead vehicle looks like a Chekan MRAP, which is used by Wagner.

Need to find a source for that.
theres a wiki article up already?
If Wagner actually succeeds doing damage this might be a gorbachev coup scenario where this causes Putin to lose control
On 23 June 2023, Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin alleged that soldiers of the Russian Ministry of Defense were shelling his positions. Prigozhin promised to take revenge on the leadership of the Ministry of Defense. Prigozhin said the "evil" in the military leadership must be stopped and vowed to "March for Justice". He also dismissed just...
Yeah.
Helicopters were raised to patrol the sky above Rostov-on-Don, — rosZMI.
"Several Mi-8 helicopters have been raised into the sky, all air defense units have been ordered to be on alert, and it is necessary to strengthen foot patrols in the city."
maybe, but the opposition is already deployed in the wrong place and has to relocate. It is also possible to use a small feint force in case where or when the main avenue is busted
Which is good news for Ukraine to some extent, but at this point, it's really hard to predict where it'll go.
At the moment, it seems that Putin is in play. He could yet legitimize this and hasn't spoken in direct opposition
Thinking of a coup at this stage is no more than very fierce speculation. Pretty much the whole Russian apparatus is behind Putin and his regime
You can never know with how things are going with this war, but I think it's really soon to think of that scenario
He's likely hiding in a bunker somewhere
The safest thing to do is talk through spokespeople and wait and see to make a personal statement
most coups were already finished by now... but this is Russia
He doesn't need to! Neither side will target him until he takes a side.
Yeah, this is Russia indeed, but even accounting for that, calling this a coup is really far
Moving in the right direction at least
I think it's safe to call it a mutiny
Suitably heterogeneous
But the authorities response is as to a coup
i love the [citation needed] lol
Literally lmao
[who?]
Is it? It seems they're responding at the moment as a mutiny. Did they explicitly call it a coup? That gives it credibility in the military's eyes potentially
Hmm, must be very recent considering that lighting if it's near the Rostov area
That actually makes it credible, considering that lighting, because sunrise hasn't hit yet and that means a very narrow window to repurpose a video
VCHK-OGPU - from their source: "The attempts to act against Prigozhin come solely from FSB and Russian Guards. The Ministry of Defense has withdrawn itself, lower-rank officers either simply refuse to follow orders, or openly support Wagner.
As for Shoigu and co. - they simply…

By mobilizing all the police in Moscow, that's treating it as a coup attempt. Since Wagner is nowhere near there.
Anyone who thinks that Putin is going to fall by the likes of a group of mercenaries, forgets that Assad still reigns. If that bastard can't fall, Putin's going nowhere.
Man, the situation must be worse on the ground.
i don't think anyone thinks putin is going anywhere
Thing is that Russia is very tall and if this was in St Petersburg this video is already 2h old at least, whereas Rostov is an hour at most, that's why I mention it
Governor of the Lipetsk region Artamonov urged residents to refrain from traveling to the south:
"Based on the results of the meeting of the operational headquarters it was decided to strengthen security measures in the region. Particular attention will be paid to critical infrastructure objects. In addition, the region's residents are now advised to refrain from traveling to the south, in particular, to Voronezh region.

Also we have seen very few flags on AFVs in this war

But it's perfect for a March of Justice
https://twitter.com/revishvilig/status/1672414964735254530 a video I posted earlier
It's a peaceful protest for justice!
Given this is a mutiny/rebelion, it can be motivated to do so (we're the true Russians against the rebels)
did prig say earlier today that ukraine didn't attack russia, didn't plan to attack russia and was peaceful for 8 years? trying to find where Denys' is claiming this from; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMtjavd5Sug
did I miss it?
he did
shit is he becoming an antihero
like 12 hours ago or so
prigozhin's character arc won't last long
might be a bargain w/ the Ukrainians
Interesting video here (unverified) https://vxtwitter.com/revishvilig/status/1672413092087488513
Reportedly, a convoy of the Wagner has been spotted in Novoshakhtirsk, Rostov Oblast
He's continued to impress on that front. I thought that months ago
found this while clicking around
https://twitter.com/revishvilig/status/1672411925437730816?s=20
More military equipment movements in Rostov. Some channels claim that these are Wagner fighters
Multiple videos of apparently Wagner convoys in Rostov are now emerging, as dawn begins to break in the region. (JRushton) https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/1672414619275517952 #Wagner #convoy
Wagner convoy moving through a Russian checkpoint, reportedly in Rostov Oblast, hauler with a BMP-3 IFV, 4x KAMAZ 5350, 3x Bukhanka, 2x KamAZ fuel tanker
Group of Russian gunships reportedly loitering over Rostov, appears to be 1x Mi-8 and 2x Mi-28/24.
So there's almost definitely a Wagner presence in Rostov, but where they are and how many of them there are is uncertain
I know they say Wagner but do we know allegiance?
One very interesting thing to note if there's fighting outside of Rostov-on-Don directly is that we saw what seemed to be OMON blocking off that entire highway
newer roadblocks to the south of Rostov on Don
And so there's some legitimacy to what Prigozhin is saying if they're in Rostov - the national guard let him through without firing a shot across numerous checkpoints
I said this earlier, but if I was in charge of wagner, I'd not be doing the column or concentration thing, I'd be spread out, technicals, offroad, trying to draw a fight early; russia is spread thin and they know it
The truck in that video has "Car service" written and it has a Norwegian brand in it, so I don't think it's a real clip
we're seeing airstrikes and not artillery, and I don't think we'll see artillery for another day if they actually get footholds
(Real as in from tonight)
Maybe they learned their lesson after Vuhledar
#convoy FOOTAGE "allegedly" https://twitter.com/jay4_nsa/status/1672415390826110979
Unconfirmed, but they are saying these are Wagner convoys passing through the checkpoint with Russian soldiers letting them through #RussiaIsCollapsing #RussianCoup
Only if they expect a fight. If they just drove through all the resistance [because they backchanneled this with Southern Military District commanders] and arrived directly in Rostov before anyone started shooting....
https://www.criticalthreats.org/analysis/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-june-23-2023 ISW Report on the situation as of 6PM ET
I don't think they're Wagner.
I think they want to get as far as they can, but pretty sure they know they can't do anything without a line of support...
It's a bit odd for Wagner to use a truck to carry a mechanized BMP.
there is a hack to that, saves fuel in the BMP for quick deploy and use
e.g. planning to quick dismount (the bmp from the truck)
https://twitter.com/jay4_nsa/status/1672416043355045889 More #convoys
Yeah a truck will use less fuel than a BMP
Reasonable enough.
It's also much faster - a BMP goes what, 40 mph max?
Nevermind, in a longer version we see Russian flags, interesting
Not to mention, avoiding maintenance and breakdowns of heavy equipment too.
I think wagner might be flying russian flags, it would make sense, tactically and for rallying support from Z patriots
"It is therefore most likely that Prigozhin fully intends for Wagner to move against MoD leadership and forcibly remove them from power, more likely against the Southern Military District command in Rostov-on-Don but possibly also against Moscow. ISW is unable to confirm exactly where the bulk of Wagner forces are currently located, but it currently appears more likely that Prigozhin intends for Wagner to move on the MoD assets in Rostov. Following Wagner’s withdrawal from Bakhmut in late May and early June, a large contingent of Wagner forces likely remained in rear areas of Ukraine, particularly in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, or else at Wagner’s training facility near Molkino, Krasnodar Krai. Considering the relative proximity of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts and Krasnodar Krai to Rostov Oblast, the more likely course of action may be that Prigozhin views the MoD in Rostov as the most viable target of a Wagner armed rebellion. Prigozhin claimed at 0200 local time (1900 EST) that Wagner forces have crossed Russia’s international border into Rostov Oblast and claimed they face no resistance, but ISW has not observed visual confirmed of any Wagner movements as of the time of this publication.[18]"
Leave it to save your reply or remove?
100% - especially if they have direct support from commanders on the ground
so we might be seeing wagner forces plus >2% of russian army? in coordination
Yeah, that's my question
Leave it, the mistake seems on my side because that video was cropped, leading me to a different conclusion
Are there regular russian army units mixed in with Wagner? There's got to be relationships there at the tactical level at least
Still need to find that source where it was alleged that an FSB border guard allowed in Wagner without resistance.
urkaine said some russians + wagner turned on other russians, but afaik no evidence
lots of other reports that russian forces let wagner through and refuse to attack wagner etc.
They could have, you know, got paid to let them through
That or didn't want to die lol
Either seems plausible.
It's Russia, so maybe all it took was to bribe Conscriptovich
that is another advantage wagner has; capital on paper that maybe the MoD doesn't have, isn't paying troops
Not to mention the low morale amongst the Russian army.
Could persuade some to join Wagner.
Wagner has spent a lot of time making their cruelty clear too
inb4 ukraine supports prigozhin wtf.
Yeah; I haven't seen any evidence on that front and it's pure speculation, but if Prigozhin wasn't absolutely backed into a corner, I'd assume that he'd personally believe that he'd get direct support from parts of the Russian military - he's not taking on the whole russian MOD with 25k light infantry or expecting 100% of them to stand aside
"Enemy of my enemy"
inb4 nato supports prigozhin ffs.
yeah no
There was an article about Prigozhin offering to give away Russian positions to Ukraine.
But that was a few months ago.
nafo already supports prigozhin
as far as I can see this Norwegian company abchus stopped operating in Russia after sanctions shortly after full invasion - could be this truck was seized for military use or sold
Yup, that's a plausible explanation, because I don't expect Russian flags on tanks in the Norwegian-Swedish border

#Prigozhin claims Wagner has shot down a Russian helicopter that opened fire “on a civilian column” of vehicles.
https://t.co/1V1vRQMZky
You know those civilians and their columns, always drawing helicopter fire
man that would be masterful misdirection if he managed to convince the RuAF to airstrike a column of civvies by mixing in a few technicals
is this new?
Hey that's not fair, Prigozhin knows all about targeting civilians
Shame on them for being so out there
Right, ima disengage and order some Japanese ramen with beef. Can't wait to see where this goes.
Is that the border between Rostov and Voronezh? If so no, it was there for a while
about halfway to voronezh
https://twitter.com/revishvilig/status/1672419306838032386 TECHNICAL SPOTTED
It will certainly be ironic if the army that happily flattens any populated area refuses to fight Wagner's gang of psychopaths
yes it is
thanks!
this was posted earlier in the thread, regarding Voronzeh. Might be related https://twitter.com/revishvilig/status/1672415553397444608

I think it was a bit shorter when I mentioned it a couple hours ago, I don't recall it extended into Voronezh Oblast, but that's just what I recall
voronezh itself is pretty blocked off too
Those are new however
claiming convoy confirmed
To be fair, that may not indicate anything actually going on there so much as the security bureaucracy waking up and needing to be performatively busy

Armored vehicles moving in Rostov. The guy in the video says that these are Wagner forces
it may help later geolocation efforts
I got a picture of the proof of the Wagner column. 100% it's there and it's moving
Translated with DeepL
He didn't say Wagner in the video
Rostov is also awake and this is now news in Russia; probably means anyone posting will be informed by the news and might be more likely to misidentify :/
I may have missed something suggestive and contextual
right now the weather in Rostov is listed as mostly cloudy, so the weather matches
Well the author of the video claims them to be Wagner but I don't see how he would know. ALthough he specifies that it is indeed Rostov and also gives the district name
https://t.me/tucha888/14449 Wagner using pickup trucks for disguise?
Weird comment, but the buses are interesting. It's before 5 AM, how early do Rostov city buses run?
OMON guys standing there
Could be intercity
Wrong, he did say that. "Wagnera tolko chto privezli ebaniy tank. Oni edut v centr" translates as Wagner's guys have just brought a fucking tank. THey are moving towards the center (of the city)
this video from earlier looked to me like it was filmed on a bus, which might matter
https://twitter.com/revishvilig/status/1672411925437730816?s=20
More military equipment movements in Rostov. Some channels claim that these are Wagner fighters
Also the claimed first video appeared to be from a bus
Although how he identified that it was Wagner is anyone's guess
source
Are we sure this tank is from Wagner? Because the OMON guys are just standing there. Either it's on their side or they're just letting it happen
I mean what are they going to do against tanks lol
https://t.me/russianpatriot233/7025 here's the vid
ATGM/RPG?
It's OMON, I don't think they have those
bumrush it for the motherland
https://t.me/russianpatriot233/7026 interesting how the Zs are red
By the way this is very close to RosSelMash factory, mentioned in the other video
OMON's like riot police/SWAT
Fair point lol, but I'd expect something different to just standing there almost waving lol
oh,, I thought you were talking about Wagner lol
Another armored column of Wagner PMC faction of russians heading into Rostov-on-Don in russia, where an uknown number of “loyalists” russian faction and Rossgvardiya troops are present.

Wagner IFF?
I believe Rostov area code is 863, but 928 could be Krasnodar region or surrounding areas
I think it's a vibes based IFF at the moment
possibly?
I mean, if I'm OMON and I see a tank / APC, I'm not going to shoot at it - i'm trained for crowd control and never seen action
I'm sure it'll go great for everyone
I wish both sides good luck
I think expecting OMON to stop mercinaries was always a long shot
If they're not shooting at me, I'm gonna shrug and wave them through - not get in a battle
https://t.me/ASupersharij/20779 more helicopters
tacticool dudes in techncials everywhere xD
Plus it’s Wagner - they have their reputation
What video is this from?
^this one
I would imagine these would be the Wagner guys
Yeah, and OMON is not exactly frontline soldiers or special forces, it's the Russian SWAT/riot cops equivalent
speaking of tachnicals. Looks like a BMP (1?) with a ZSU strapped behind the turret
yeah if you're gonna pull out a frame, maybe reply to the og video post
there are multiple shots of civvie looking cars in that video behind A TANK
clearly filled with tacticool dudes
Yep, but so far they trained only on detaining old ladies at peaceful protests
"Finally, monolingual civvies to kill"
The only time I've seen them in action they were drinking lemonade at an orthodox festival and making sure nobody interrupted the parade floats
Some BTRs/Tigers are in Theatre Square in central Rostov, but unclear if these are MoD or Wagner.

This should be pretty easy to geolocate, right?
"KLC" is their version of KFC, right?
Likely, Wagner's Tank, BTR, TIGR and cars moving in Rostov. The woman in the video is shocked "What is this?"
I did. The BMP technical is in that video with the rest of the column
Are we thinking red Zs for Wagner?
I dont know about the Z customs, but Rosgvardiya often uses red signage
All trucks with red lines are Rosgvardiya for instance
This is great. All these sightings are in a line aiming at the city center.
No sleep for you
This is all so incredibly funny. I'm so glad I got champagne for the occasion
Seeing massive amounts of troops standing around in Rostov
maybe
let's see how many KLC/KFC there are in Rostov
The russian southern military district headquarters is at Budennovsky Prospekt 43, Rostov-on-Don; that's about 3,000 feet away
im not sure honestly how to feel about this
why are there so many freaking kfcs in rostov
Don't seem to be outright shelling the city just yet. Maybe both sides rushing to control strategic points around town?
it could move in so many different ways
im not sure its a good thing or a really horrible thing
CIA outposts
If that's wagner and they haven't ran into resistance yet.... I don't think they will before they hit the military headquarters
popeyes is clearly superior. jesus
The government of the Voronezh region stated that a column of military equipment is moving along the M-4 Don road, the situation is under control, and "the region's power structures are taking all necessary measures to ensure the safety of the people of the region. https://t.me/russianpatriot233/7030
The "target"
Yeah
47.232787, 39.739849 https://yandex.com/maps/-/CCUDbKQq2C
If Wagner is ensconced in Rostov this probably can't end quickly
I would expect the Rostov North Air Base is probably also a target, given that's the main AFB in rostov and clearly they're worried about airstrikes
is it this one?
Or maybe they will negotiate

Prigozhin may be able to start a prolonged conflict if he can manage to consolidate his forces.
Russian internal logistics lines and weapon arsenals are poorly guarded.
Russia is a huge country heavily dependent (like other countries) on the railways.

Popeyes is Cajun Navy, not CIA though
https://t.me/ASupersharij/20784 yebats, anyone?
If it's the Russian military, this is them reinforcing wagner's stated target. If it's wagner, it's them facing zero resistance 3 km from their stated target in downtown Rostov-on-Don
Gonna assume Wagner since they're pointing their guns at the cops and that building. If anyone knows, is that building important?

ok im in texas watching this... BUT from what im getting and what i think will happen is.....
right now WAG forces are going to rostov with a clear mandate to do the following...
- take the 4 airfields.
- clear the skies of all unfriendly aircraft.
- rush the military storage…
Nobody wants to start shit, especially now that they're in the city.
Footage of military equipment in central Rostov
Standoff? One thing to shoot back at Russia soldiers and helicopters, nother to start shelling buildings? Granted, it's Wagner so who knows
Not that Wagner would ever want to damage a city
Meanwhile Russian opposition - Sobol, Khodorkovsky openly support Prigozhin on their social media. khodorkovsky urged Russians to help Wagner on their way to Moscow
Wagner wants to fight least of all. They need to have the army join them.
the KFC is this one 47.232932346703365, 39.73991302954414
Same two tanks aiming at the building. Different angle
What's he basing on to make such claims?

Another video of the MoD building.
Lord, Prigozhin is doing what he said he'd do in Rostov.

Again I missed the part where he says they're Wagner somehow
Guys, as someone who has lived in Russia, RED LINES= ROSGVARDIYA/NATIONAL GUARD vehicles. That’s many of the ones pictures in Rostov
So I'll explain this before Sarah does it, but here we don't work like the rest of the internet, we don't try to guess and speculate but actually do research with evidence and data. Don't mean this as anything personal or an attempt to gatekeep, just informing of how this place works
Here he does not. But shots being fired, even singular, is intel itself, no?
Fair enough. That makes sense.
This looks surreal lol. Also where is it from?
Yeah that shit looks like the 90s
https://twitter.com/Tendar/status/1672426959400476672 Again, are we sure these are Wagner?

This is an old photo, but because I see people speculating if what is pictured is Wagner, this is how a Rosgvardiya vehicle looks like. Long, clear red lines. They are not regular armed forces, but part of security forces. You see these lines on normal vehicles (cars) too
The helicopter that shot at Wagner is on fire in the forest belt, we will destroy everything around it, - Prigozhin
What about Red Zs though?
oh boring, just mroe helicopter talk
pretty much
we don't know if that is the identifier yet for sure, but that red Z tank pointed at the building was probably wagner, no confirmation imo
any technicals are likely Wagner
we see a white Z here too on the Kamaz in front
people are speculating that the national guard and Wagner met
So far, I think we've only seen red Zs on that one tank. Probably not enough for a pattern. Wagner troops with armbands seems(?) to be more uniform but nothing solid for vehicles
A few hours ago I thought this might be over by tomorrow, but no longer so sure
Just reading about this, wth is going on?
There’s no reason for the Russian army not in active conflict point guns at random office buildings, so I’d say that’s soft evidence
I can def believe that
Haven't they been using white arm bands the entire conflict, the whole of the Russian force that is?
Russia is in the midst of a situation.
a good catchup would be aric's twitter
Just note that Aric is leaning to err on the side of being overly cautious about these events
Wagner declared war on the Russian MOD, rolled a convoy into Rostov-on-Don, and is in the middle of occupying it. No city fighting, seemingly, though the trip in seems to have involved some airstrikes and gunfire
"Helicopter was destroyed on the Moscow highway after an attempt to fire at the "Wagner" PMC" - Prigozhin
"We will perceive as a threat and destroy everything around us, we are ready to die for everything."
Now that I think about it, what are Russia's military bases in Rostov?
"The people of Russia must be freed" - Prigozhin
Rosgvrdia, no?
Like worst case scenario: nuclear silos
Wagner w/ white armband looking at RGVD truck?
Don't want Prigo to hold his hands into one of those
Pretty certain the main HQ for the whole of the Ukranian operation is there, no?
Truck itself
Seems a little different than his earlier "I just wanna get rid of 2 generals"
Moscow Highway huh? It’s m-1?
Millerovo Air Base. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millerovo_(air_base)
Millerovo is an air base in Millerovsky District, Rostov Oblast of the Russian Aerospace Forces as part of the 4th Air and Air Defence Forces Army, Southern Military District.
The base is home to the 31st Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment which has two squadrons of Sukhoi Su-30SM (NATO: Flanker-H)The 368th Assault Aviation Regiment with Sukhoi Su...
Please correct me if I'm wrong
Yes, it is their markings
is rosgvaria still driving the truck tho?
Rostov on don north airbase is in peacetime home to a bunch of transport squadrons - wartime IDK
That was before he was basically declared an outlaw on TV
There are feet visible underneath
The fighter and bomber bases in the oblast are not in Rostov city proper
Oof
Not intentional
I have an unrelated and irrelevant Q about why a stack of bricks are tied to that utility pole.
The interactive map shows the following Russian military forces:
Land maneuver and artillery units;
Air bases;
Naval bases;
S-300 and S-400 surface-to-air missile systems, as well as other air defence forces that are not part of the land maneuver units;
Russian military bases and installations beyond Russia's borders, including those that...
Millerovo is not close to Rostov on don - it’s the other way on the M4
id argue more yes than no. wagners objective isnt to take equipment, its to take southern HQ
making a situation doesnt contribute to that
So uh where does Russia keep it's nukes lol
Precisely, they probably drove by it
https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/1672429891499749376 summing it up fairly well
These do appear to be Elements of the Wagner Group outside of the Southern Military District Headquarters, but some of the Soldiers are also wearing “Rosgvardia” Patches and National Guard/Military Trucks can be seen which makes this Extremely Confusing.
also a chance the driver in that vehicle willingly switched side
I'm looking at maps and none nowhere close to Rostov
"willingly" when surrounded by hundreds of Wagner troops lol
Idk how true they are however
Probably so no one drives off with the pallette before they are used to pave the sidewalk there

Prigozhin message #10: “I am warning everyone. We will destroy everything around us. We cannot be destroyed. We have goals. We are ready to die. All 25k. And then another 25k. We are dying for the motherland, for Russian ppl, which has to be freed from ppl who kill innocent ppl”

I know the US shares warheads so they're some stationed in turkey and Italy and holland
multiple videos of wagner going by russian soldiers and nothing happening
https://t.me/ASupersharij/20797 possible downed helicopter
So... how long til Elon Musk calls this a psyop? 😛
strange how nobody's started shooting
Wagner really doesn't want to. It is their big bluff.
shit, theres now footage of national guard soldiers among wagner troops. thats a step up from surrendering/staying back
Isn’t it premature to say these are Wagner troops pictured? I have seen only Rosgvardiya insignia and most soldiers have very standardised gear
Source?
And I think no one can be sure of whether troops will follow orders to fire on Wagner. To give the order and not have it carried out is a disaster. Better to hedge your bets.
any hot takes from kim dotcom yet?
this, your video
Don’t Wagner run most of the troll farms? In which case they know how much has been censored and how fed up the Russian people are
we have audio from earlier videos of shooting, purportedly between wagner / russian army or MoD forces
It is reported that the PMC has been cordoned off for the time being:
- South Military District headquarters;
- the police department at Budennovskoye;
- Headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
- UVSB;
- Rostov administration.

Heh, never actually seen them use red Z's before
Soldiers/army or OMON/Rosgvardia? I don’t think OMON will shoot at them - they’re not equipped for that and it’d be suicide.
More footage of the Wagner forces including infantry and heavy armour surrounding and seizing the Southern Military District building in Rostov.
OMON are essentially a well armed police force
Premature, yes, but they're all wearing white invasion armbands that we've seen confirmed Wagner troops wearing in other clips in Rostov. No proof but I'd bet they're Wagner
They aren't soldiers
there is a kim dotcom hot take and its predictably bad
https://twitter.com/Maks_NAFO_FELLA/status/1672430595522146304 Have Wagner advanced into Voronezh?
https://twitter.com/nexta_tv/status/1672431034602749952 NEXTA's saying Rostov has been taken
The Wagner PMCs announced the capture of the headquarters of the Southern Military District, the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Rostov. In short, the city is taken. They are getting ready in Voronezh.
If anybody facies to geo it
voronezh had roadblocks up a while ago so it's possible any military action there is just RU
So something I'm noting is that Project Owl identified in the night Russian troops in Rostov, so I wonder if these ones we're seeing now are just the same divisions and not Wagner

If they're going to Voronezh, think it's more realistic they'd have just split up from the group going south, as opposed to leaving from Rostov-on-Don
went to check on the roads and i was still zoomed in on the kfc 🍗

This could be geolocated with some legwork
Wagner leader Prigozhin: "We have the goal to liberate our motherland from the people who kill civilians and we are all ready to die for the Russian people."
Пивнофф bar
BREAKING 👀👀👀
"We cannot be destroyed. We have goals, we are all ready to die, all 25 thousand, and after that another 25 thousand. Because we are dying for the Russian people, who must be freed from those people who are beating the civilian population" - Prigozhin
https://t.me/russianpatriot233/7043 Shooting in Pavlovsk (Voronezh region)
I wonder if we’ll hear any statements from the bunker. Putin doesn’t like to announce bad news
Technical
There is no panic in Rostov-on-Don
troops on a bridge, a technical or bmp?
hmg?
technical, looks like
what MOD doing?
surrendering
morale very high
crazy plot twist out here
We need a separate thread for tankie bloggers melting down
Maybe they've just been getting lost in the chatter but they don't seem to be posting as many videos of generals saying "go home"
Morale is in negative progression
Prigozhin redemption arc (not really)
47.220603, 39.701907 https://yandex.com/maps/-/CCUDbKc6-C
MOD asleep, quick ~post memes~ invade Rostov
47.220625, 39.701993
Ah T got it
really hoping this doesn't turn into a DS9 Damar situation where the West or Ukraine help this maniac
Anyone else been to this part of Rostov and totally tripping out right now?
Note the tune they’re listening to: https://vxtwitter.com/petrkozlov/status/1672396931258101764?s=46&t=MDxryAqm1PZ6AocrV64Cbg
“Counterintelligence” disco club a few hundreds meters from the FSB headquarters in the center of Moscow, while in the south of Russia PMC Wagner chief tries to commit a riot
Ukraine will likely help this maniac
That’s the Ghanaian coffin meme music
Oh man
Yeah ... it's a weird situation to be rooting for them to at least cause a lot of disruption and still keep the "this guy literally decapitates POWs" in mind
Any TLDRs of stuff that happened since prigo’s video?
Shit went down
This must be an edit, I can't 
Lmao
Wagner appears to be in control of central Rostov, surrounding the MoD HQ
I heard a heli went down?
Ah yeah thats shit went down
the west helped the frickin' Taliban against Russia. You really think they won't help this guy?
Taliban didn't exist yet
Follow Aric's thread, but note he's being quite cautious, things are wild
I don't think they won't. I said I hope they won't
Is it safe to call Rostov captured by Wagner?
They helped the Muyahideen, not the Taliban, and that was more than 30 years ago so things have changed too
I wouldn't
It's more of a 'sharing' situation
News will begin to pick up in about an hour
But the main point is that Wagner can no longer get repulsed without a maaaaassive mess.
https://vxtwitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/1672433765287591936 Here the red Z again
Additional footage of the standoff outside of the Russian Southern Military District Headquarters in Rostov
Also such a bizarre video
That woman with balloons out there
People chilling taking pictures
There was a thing earlier people spotted earlier about General Alekseyev and General Surovikin both giving statements but they were both in the same room - one cradling a gun https://vxtwitter.com/maxseddon/status/1672358796637663235?s=46&t=MDxryAqm1PZ6AocrV64Cbg
Sergei Surovikin, hitherto the most Wagner-friendly general, calls on the group not to obey Prigozhin's orders.
"The enemy is only waiting for our domestic political situation to get inflamed. Don't play into the enem…
Vladimir Alekseyev, another once Wagner-friendly general:
"This is a stab in the back of the country and the president. Only the president has the right to appoint the military leadership, and you are trying to attack…
just a comfy chair, I'm sure
The patterns on the wall matched
Given the significance of Rostov for RuMil GLOC then within a few days I suspect we might see Ukrainian forces able to take advantage of the situation
https://t.me/russianpatriot233/7044 Machine gunners at the SMD in Rostov
And the hipster lol
If I was dressed like that I wouldn't go within 50 meters of a Wagnerite
they're letting everyone film, so they're comfy with the information spreading
the girl in the front left is chewing out that guy.
Odds that Wagner is already near Voronezh
it's definitely giving them legitimacy
They’re masters of information warfare
Hm…an hour ago ISW and critical threats assessed than the rebellion is unlikely to succeed https://twitter.com/thestudyofwar/status/1672418243536109568?s=46&t=3mSZZfPdcuE5qfP-shcO4w
NEW: #Wagner Group financier Yevgeny #Prigozhin appears to have launched an armed rebellion on June 23 to force a leadership change within the #Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) which is unlikely to succeed.🧵 (1/13)

https://t.me/news161ru/33662 We certainly understand who can cordon off administrative buildings in Rostov. We think so do you. But since the fighters on the ground are in no hurry to comment on the situation, and since there have been no official statements in the last couple of hours, we will refrain from making definitions and assessments.
We will simply record what is happening in Rostov-on-Don as much as possible.
Мы, безусловно, понимаем, кто может оцеплять административные здания в Ростове. Думаем, как и вы. Но так как бойцы на месте не спешат комментировать ситуацию, а официальных заявлений в последние пару часов не было, воздержимся от определений и оценок.
Просто по мере возможности будем фиксировать происходящее в Ростове-на-Дону.
agreed
Honestly I also agree, question is that RuMOD also failed in controlling it
I don't think either side can "win" at this point
Various tg channels also write that the entire toll section of the M4 highway is closed. There is a convoy of military equipment, including tanks. A lorry is on fire on the highway. https://t.me/russianpatriot233/7046
just a matter of how sloppy it will get before it's over
Russia MoD will control it, but at what price?
Wow, sit on that fence a bit harder
https://t.me/russianpatriot233/7047 Journalist Alina Lipp showed a column of equipment in Rostov. According to her, it's a Wagner
The traffic on google maps shows similar stuff
Wonder where the leader/founder of Wagner is in all this. The nazi one. I remember him showing up briefly to make fun of Kadyrov but Prigozhin's definitely been the public face of Wanger
wait, where is Lukashenko?!
she has more videos here https://t.me/s/neuesausrussland

Where is this referring to?

Meanwhile Russia is STILL bombing Ukraine https://twitter.com/euromaidanpr/status/1672435886066221056?s=46&t=MDxryAqm1PZ6AocrV64Cbg
But since Russia is authoritarian (or totalitarian at this point?) state, that’s a huge blow to the whole system
Speculation alert: is it safe to say that going for rostov seems to imply wagner is looking for negotiation chips?
https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/1672435904613416960 https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/1672435905720614913
Since as ISW said its not a very tenable long term position if russia tires of it
A mess sure
But outside of its effects to the effort in ukraine not a detrimental effect (as an attempted coup would have) on the russian political system
Yep, and it definitely harms their war effort very signifcantly by losing what may be their more competent units. Russia will quench the rebellion but it will be pyrrhic imo
But well, I'm speculating, let's focus on what's on the ground rn
Think of Wagner like a virus. They need a host to survive, and they need to spread. That means cities and other military units.
Idk what they want to negotiate beyond the removal of Shoigu, Gerasimov and co
so Wagner turns on MoD, Lukashenko bails to Turkey... anyone else doing math here? where are the steps between these two? there is a timeframe, a long timeframe and a long heads up
Do the Wagner group still control loads of Russia’s “assets” in Africa? (I watched the excellent documentary “the grab” a couple of months ago which had quite a bit about the Wagner group over there)
Being used less as cannon fodder i suppose? Though yeah would probably require that
once again claimed to be rostov but needs geolocation
https://t.me/milinfolive/102535
Yessir. Even set up a beer brand in the C.A.R. and used Wagner troops to firebomb a competitor's brewery
Rusich denying taking part but definitely not opposed
Afaik Russia's role in Africa is very much outsourced to Wagner. We can talk that much better in #1054884622955184228
Hard to understate how insane this is. Rostov has over a million people, Russia's 11th most populated city and a military hub. It's like disgruntled Blackwater vets seizing San Diego against little to no resistance.
this is one of the reasons I hope wagner eats shit
All the stuff they do in Africa is disheartening. From Mali and BF to now in Sudan... but yeah, let's not derail it here
If the Blackwater vets were violent nazis
supporting what I said earlier: Readers noticed machine gunners near the headquarters of the Southern Military District. The entire block around the building is controlled by the recently arrived fighters, who have pushed back (or replaced) the military police crews on duty there. https://t.me/news161ru/33663
There's also the chance that Prigozhin still wants to smooth things over, by leveraging the many fence sitters in MoD, MVD, etc. This could have been his gambit to survive, before Shoigu could squash him.
Sadly even if Prigozhin hangs their overseas operations will likely just rebrand under new management
Good point. Let's see how it plays out
"All just a big misunderstanding."
can't believe this is even happening 
🍿
